Restaurants near Del Monte Forest

“This bar is the type of clubby leather clad place that is perfect for a “final final”. The bartenders give great service and there is a wide selection of scotches and bourbons and cognac. There are also several televisions and they serve a limited menu of pub food. Sit by the fireplace and relax after fighting the winds at Spanish Bay.”

“This is a great place to taste wine from all over the world. The sommelier’s are really knowledgeable without being elitist and make you feel right at home in the cozy space.”

“We ate one of the best meals of our lives here a year ago on our honeymoon. So remarkable I’m leaving this review a year later! I remember being greeted so warmly by the woman I believe is the owner. We were given complementary dessert and a champagne toast, too. This is a restaurant that lives up to its Michelin star(s)?”

“Our visit to Stoke's Adobe last weekend produced the best meal I've had on The Peninsula in a decade! Restauranteur, Sarah Orr, has hit one out of the park. The dishes prepared by Executive Chef, Bryce Hansen, were flawless, my favorties being the seared scallops and truffle chicken. Loved the nod to former occupant and socialite, Hattie Gragg, with the inclusion of the Hattie's Old Fashioned on the cocktail menu :) Looking forward to our next visit and an opportunity to sample other items on their ever evolving menu.”

“I recommend getting your kids involved with the wonderful experience.”

“Superb friendly staff! And the cakes are delicious! We got passion fruit cake and pistachio - raspberry cake. They are beautiful, delicate, and sophisticated! I love their small pastries like financier as well. The croissant and puffed pastries are a bit too dry for me. Still it is better beyond average puffed pastries. Definitely want to try other items!”

“Came with my wife and son. We had sardines as an appetizer. Three sardines, which were OK. Then we had the salmon which was excellent. We also had the snapper with shrimp which was also excellent. Waiter excellent. Wait for the order was a bit long but worth the wait.”

“Good meal but a little bit noisy and they are a little bit putting pressure to finish your plate and give your table”

“Absolutely wonderful and blessed spot to eat and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re at home. When you enter and you’re met with their wonderful smiles I felt their true spirit came through with flying colors. The sandwiches were amazing 🤩 and the baked goods were stellar as well, thank you 🙏🏻 sincerely for sharing your love for food!”

“This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and Alfredo greeted us with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for the entire evening. We ordered lasagna, spinach ravioli, rig butters and were absolutely delicious—every layer rich specifically the lasagna and perfectly seasoned. The service throughout was attentive and thoughtful, with Alfredo and the team ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. MezzaLuna is a standout dining establishment within the Pacific Grove, and we can't wait to return. Highly, highly recommended.”

“It was my 80th birthday and they opened up early for us for a private party of 30 people. I was AWESOME. Thank you so much for your kindness and service. The food was delicious and very well prepared. We will be back.”

“Great local breakfast spot in Seaside. I really like this place for many reasons, good food, prompt service and convenient location. You can pick a touristy resturaunt if you like, me I prefer a more casual vibe and it's close to home. The Breakfast Burrito is one of my favorites!”

“Beautiful restaurant absolutely wonderful service, wait time wasn't too bad and the food was soooo amazing and filling !! a must try if you're in the area”

“I first visited this amazing local deli in 1989-1990. I remembered the half loaves of bread stacked high with a pile of my choice of meats and cheeses. Although I was only 18-19, Compagno’s established my standard for an amazing sandwich. 32 years later I brought my sons here for lunch. Same delicious goodness a generation later.”

“Such good crepes, definitely recommend! Workers are kind and friendly. Quick service:)”

“Came around 4:30pm and avoided the dinner rush around 5:30pm! Overall, I am thankful Monterey had a nearby vegan restaurant (with so many options too) but the flavors could be improved. Nachos 3/5 nothing special. Fish tacos 2/5 not that flavorful even with the mango topping Chicken taco 3/5 ok Potato taco 5/5 best taco imo! The outer crispy layer was done nicely and the potato was nice and warm inside :) Spinach salad 5/5 simple yet so delicious! Strawberries, jicama?, and pumpkin seeds were a nice touch. Great contrast to the rest of the meal (light feeling). Special shoutout to the salad dressing (a sweet, applesauce like taste 😋)”

“Un lugar familiar buena y deliciosa comidas esmerado servicio.”

“omgosh 5 star service our waiter did it all”

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a breath of fresh air in the Carmel culinary community. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. The space is refreshingly chic and relaxing. The tables are spaced apart to allow for conversation and there's no rush to finish your meal. You are encouraged to linger and enjoy the best meal in Carmel!”
