- OTOpenTable DinerSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoServer was friendly, Bridget, if I recall, and on top of it. Husband’s birthday. They brought not only the birthday desert, but a nice taste of the strawberry gelato and blood orange sorbet — because she heard how we wanted to taste it. Husband had the filet perfectly cooked. I had the short rib very tasty, but maybe a bit too much salt. The ambiance was warmly inviting. Just the right amount of light added to a feeling that we were welcomed.More infoMontrioPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6
- NNeliVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 9, 2024This is fhe first time my family visited Abalonetti Bar and Grill, and we liked it. The food was delishious, and the service was spotless. I especially liked the oysters with pesto, and my husband liked the crusted rockfish. My mother enjoyed her angel hair pasta, too. On the flip side, they have only four deserts on the menu and tiramisu is not one of them. They do not have espresso, either. Very disappointing. I recommend this restaurant for its great location, delicious food and the friendly and professional service.More infoAbalonetti Bar and GrillPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.4
