When I was there earlier while they were in the most restrictive tier there were places open for patio dining, so that should still be an option. I believe Monterey is even less restricted now, in a tier where limited indoor dining is allowed.
Monterey finally entered the orange tier recently - so dine in is allowed, albeit at reduced capacity. https://www.seemonterey.com/resources/covid19-updates/
I personally haven’t eaten inside or outside at a restaurant in over a year, but I’ve seen folks eating outdoors at the local places including on cannery row. I assume that some restaurants are now also seating indoors w/ limited capacity, but probably best to check with wherever you’d like to eat.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is opening to the public soon. I believe members can start going in a couple of weeks, and then it will be open to the general public on May 15.
I was in Santa Cruz County (adjacent to Monterey County) a couple weeks ago and everything was open -- restaurants (indoors and outdoors), grocery stores, retail stores -- with reduced capacity.

Yes, after being closed for 14 months the aquarium plans to reopen to the public 5/15, initially for 5 days a week. Online ticket sales only, timed entry w/ reduced capacity, one way travel paths w/ distancing & masks. Some areas closed. https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/visit/welcome-back
