From the time I walked in until we left the experience was great. The hostess and waitress Lexi were friendly and efficient. I was with 3 friends and we shared small appetizers. The potatoes, crab cakes & hush puppies were delicious. We sat in a booth and it was really comfortable. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time gathering with friends for a holiday celebration. Our server, Sergio, was EXCELLENT! he was very attentive, sincere and provided excellent service at just the right time. All their food was good too very good, and well presented. The chef was willing to alter a couple dishes for those that were sensitive to certain ingredients. I will definitely come back here and bring other people!

Amazing dining experience! The view was spectacular!

What is a 3 star Michelin Restaurant? According to the Michelin guide: A three-star restaurant is one that offers “exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.” My wife and I travel over 2500 miles each year to celebrate our wedding anniversary at nowhere else other than the Coastal Kitchen with Chef Michael Rotondo and his wonderful staff. From the initial warm and friendly greeting from Conrad the Maitre D’ Hotel and Sommelier you will be experiencing a 5 course tasting delight never to be experienced anywhere else on the Monterey Peninsula! Chef Michael makes it a point to welcome each guest table before dinner service to ensure they are ready for culinary experience like no other and ensures there are no allergens to affect their tasting experience. For an additional charge, each course will be paired with an exceptional wine to highlight the nuisances of every dish. Rachel our wine server had extensive knowledge of each wine served and made the pairing so much more enjoyable. Jesus and Eli our food servers were always on point and added to the attentiveness of the entire staff! We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the quality of the food served at every course. The Basque cheese cake was off the chart! The French Laundry was an icon of the Napa Valley in its day but the new rising icon of the Monterey Peninsula is the Coastal Kitchen! Thank You Chef Michael and the Monterey Plaza Hotel for a wonderful 3 star Michelin dining experience! The Coastal Kitchen truly offers exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey!
