Dining Experience Featuring Salmon Dish And Wine At A Waterfront Restaurant During Dinner Service

$4M Revenue-Iconic Waterfront Dining Destination-Legacy Lease

Monterey, California
2,395,000
Rare opportunity to acquire a landmark, high-revenue restaurant in one of Monterey’s most visited historic waterfront districts. This is an irreplaceable setting that benefits from constant tourist activity and strong local loyalty throughout the year.

This long-established full-service restaurant offers scale, stability, and a location advantage that cannot be replicated in today’s market. The business generates about $4.0 million in annual revenue and produces about $670,000 in adjusted cash flow, reflecting consistent and reliable operating performance.

The restaurant includes a Type 47 full liquor license, seating for 154 guests indoors plus additional patio seating, and approximately 4,000 square feet of well-designed, turn-key space. A separate bar area complements the dining room, and the fully equipped commercial kitchen is built to support high-volume service. The restaurant operates in a highly visible coastal destination that sees steady foot traffic throughout the day. An experienced staff and management team are in place to support a smooth transition.

A major competitive advantage is the lease structure. The business operates under a long-term lease secured beyond 2036, with occupancy costs well below typical market rates for comparable coastal restaurant locations.

There is also meaningful upside for a new owner. Growth opportunities include expanding private events and group dining, developing catering and strategic partnerships, enhancing bar and beverage programming, extending seasonal operating hours, and strengthening digital and social marketing efforts.

The restaurant is fully operational with established systems, a proven seafood and bar program, and a strong mix of visitor and repeat local clientele. Inventory is sold separately and is typically approximately $50,000 at cost.

This is a confidential offering. To protect the business, the name and exact location are not disclosed publicly. Qualified buyers must complete a financial profile and sign a nondisclosure agreement prior to receiving detailed information.

Serious inquiries only. Contact Carmel Business Sales to learn more and schedule a private tour.
