Restaurants near Del Monte Forest

“Personally I prefer the view downstairs at “the bench”. But this is also very nice! We spent a pleasant afternoon inside the lounge in a damp and foggy day and thought it was perfect.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great food, view and service.”

“Huge food portions for big appetite!!”

“I had a Popeye Salad and a hot Italian sandwich and my husband had his clam chowder 😊service was fast with great customer service!! Thank you so much”

“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.”

“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!”

“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”

“The reviews are SPOT ON!! Probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, and I love pizza.

Thin crispy crust, cooked all the way to the center. (This is a must for me!) Toppings were cooked to perfection. The amount of toppings was generous. My tastes buds were extremely happy with the flavor! I had pepperoni and red onions, my bestie had the fig and prosciutto with hot honey, which sounds like an unusual combination, but I tasted it and my taste buds approved this one also.

Service was a 10. We were greeted by the chef in the kitchen, as we walked up! Then by a server, then by the server that would be ours, Casey. He was very personable and took the time to actually visit with us for a short time and get to know us.

We chose to sit outside in the gorgeous weather, so I can’t tell you about the inside, but the outside tables were very clean and the chairs comfy to relax in.”

“Can't recommend this place enough. From being greeted by the hostess to being seated. Our service was amazing and attentive. There are plenty of beer choices. As you will see in the pictures from a dark brown to a hef.
The wings are smoked with a dry rub. I can't explain the flavor except unique. The wings were huge.
The pan pizza had a baked crisped top and was combined with a pan style”

“Lots of dishes with different mushrooms 😄”

“Just a fabulous experience! The service levels were over the top. Never wanted for anything. Ate at the restaurant and had an 8-course tasting menu! To die for!”

“Took a couple of dates here. The atrium is just beautiful and the food was amazing as always. Top notch in every way!”

“Mezzaluna is one of the best restaurants in Pacific Grove and the PG, Monterey, and Carmel area! We love going here. The staff recognize you immediately and make you feel at home. The food, drinks, and service are always perfect! You cannot go wrong with Mezzaluna.”

“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.”

“Great service fron everyone in the floor ,Delicious food.”

“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!”

“A quirky and surprising culinary diamond in Seaside. The menu features super local ingredients that showcase the rich bounty of the area. Fish is the showcase item, but the other items will make your mouth water as well.”

“Being an old-ish Army Vet, I had to try the SOS, as it was the go to breakfast in the 80's Army. I was not disappointed with the flavor or the memories! Great, efficient servers, service and food. 12 stars outta 10 stars! (When the VA appointments send me this way again, I'll definitely be getting my breakfast here!)”

“It‘s simply the best mexican food I ever had. The lady took her time to explain everything, location was clean with about 30 inside seats. 10/10, would go back! Everything seems to be organic, non gmo etc. Dessert was also nice!”

“An elegant, very french experience. Lisa, the owner, was charming and friendly. The soufflés were incredibly delicious. We lingered over the food and were not rushed. Very delightful.”

“Great staff, it’s always clean, and they make amazing sandwiches. This place tends to get real busy at lunch time; I recommend calling ahead. You you also have a choice of delicious breads, and you can customize your sandwich if you wish! The staff is always courteous, and quick. Their egg salad sandwich is really delicious, you just have to try it!”

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

“We visited when spending a weekend in Monterey and loved this place! The owner/staff was so friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the little outdoor seating area was charming. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.”
