Description

Summary: Notorious eatery on Cannery Row blends old world luxury with maritime charm and dramatic dining.

The Sardine Factory stands as a museum of hospitality, its grand rooms and glasshouse Conservatory inviting guests to linger amid silk drapes, monogrammed chairs, and antique flourishes. Guests wander from the lounge with live music to the captain’s room and the vaulted wine cellar, savoring classics such as abalone bisque and veal cardinal while summaries of decades play in the decor. It is theater, history, and seafood elegance rolled into one memorable dining heartbeat.
