Best Lunch Restaurants in Pacific Grove

The service and food was top notch! I never had such a flavorful meal that was cooked and prepared to perfection! It was a beautiful experience with the waves crashing below and the warmth from the heating lamps. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. It was a great dining experience and we will be returning many more times.

We had a great Valentine meal at Anton et Michel. They had planned well for a busy night with plenty of staff, and did not over book. We received a friendly greeting and were promptly taken to our table. There are various dining spaces, all are modern and inviting. Marco provided friendly and prompt service. Since my spouse doesn’t drink, I appreciated that they had a nice selection of half bottles, including several sparkling wines. My husband had the filet mignon, which he found an excellent quality and cooked a perfect medium rare. He would have liked a bit more sauce, so he will ask for extra next time we visit. I had the seafood fricassé, which included scallops, shrimp and smoked salmon ravioli in a decadent cream sauce. We ordered cherries jubilee table side for dessert. The presentation was lovely with an abundance of cherries. The perfect ending to a delightful meal. Highly recommend!

Great Valentine's day dinner! Had to turn the salmon back as it didn't quite taste right, but server immediately swapped the plate out with apologies, and I was very happy with my alternate dish (seafood pappardelle), which was brought our very quickly. Though the restaurant was crowded, we received just the right amount of attention with refills of wine and water, and a request for salt on the table. Nice touch to receive a red rose at the end of the splendid evening.

Our first meal at Le Soufflé…it was fantastic. Quick service and excellent soufflé.

A varied and interesting menu! Something for everyone. Enjoyed great cocktails and a delicious hearty Greek feast.
