Our first time dining at Monterey. We shared a Caesar salad and had two of the best steaks in my life! We shared a soufflé for dessert to end this wonderful meal.

We had the best meal we’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. Every dish we had was delicious and prepared just right. Service was great and the ambience was relaxing yet upbeat and refreshing.

The food was alright and the waiters were nice but one of the hostess seemed stuck up. Didn’t seem welcoming to us and when we asked to change our tables, she just came back moved our menus and left as if she had a problem with us being there.
