About our 5th visit? Great every time. It’s a must whenever we stay in Monterey. Interesting menu & eclectic wine list. Impeccable service & nice ambience; formal but not stuffy or snooty.

The venue is beautiful but the current menu of dinner entrees doesn't offer a lot of non-meat options. The raw broccoli salad is great but is dressed with way too much dressing. The salmon dish's curry sauce detracts from the salmon and is too rich. Service was great.

Dinner was great, very yummy and it was easy to converse with friends in town for the AT&T. Will definitely go back and plan on a day time visit to enjoy the heated patio. Great scallop starter along with awesome Espresso Martini. Pasta dish was delicious and my husband has the Pork Chop which he said was great. Ordered a second round of the Beignet desert!

A standout dining experience. Didn’t realize how good the food had gotten with a new chef coming on board about 1-1/2 years ago. Also have one of the best mixologists behind the beautiful bar. Every dish a standout. Loved the shaved broccoli salad, the chicken with cranberry beans, and the chocolate budino.
