Lalla Grill at 1400 Del Monte Center, Monterey, California.

On entrance the server who directed us to our table despite our joyful demeanor remained cold. Service is bad but its not the worst.
The view was lovely...there was an otter playing around in the rocks...

Raspberry Lemonade: Served with a paper straw... But why? The soggy paper felt like it was going to give away. Its an Instagram worthy drink for its appearance.

Crab Cakes: I shouldnt have expected anything better. Had the consistency and taste of canned crab meat. The occasional chunks of large crab meat and shell fragments to make you think otherwise. You could tell the mixed can and some fresh crab meat to trick you.

Lemon slices for decoration but made it impossible to squeeze onto the crab cakes.
I do not recommend this dish at all.

Fish and chips (Alaskan cod): Great portion and tastes delicious. It is fried nicely. I do recommend this. Pairs great with the beach side view.

Fettuccine w/ shrimp & halibut: My company devoured it on the spot and left the plate clean. There was a lot of halibut in the pasta. Sauce was delicious. The bread it was accompanied with was noteworthy. But costs an entire $1.50 for an additional slice of bread.
