“everything great crew, great manager Great atmosphere. ❤❤”

“This one always pays attention to product quality and presentation ❤️”

“My coffee and sandwich were both great. The employees were very unfriendly, no smile, no eye contact. I think the 2 girls were having a spat, as they weren't talking to each other. Just an observation. The 5 stars are for the coffee/sandwich as they were excellent.”

“The Safeway Bakery had the perfect 'last minute' cake when no other bakery in the area did. It was a late Saturday afternoon and they had a good selection.”

“My husband and I were coming to Carmel for work close to our anniversary, so I wanted to surprise him with our first Michelin star restaurant experience. Monique was amazing and squeezed us in for a reservation the night before & we are so grateful! Everything was delicious from the surprise snacks to the main dishes. The quail was incredible, our desserts & drinks were fantastic, and the service was beyond. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special!”

“Great little bakery, the pastries are rich and flavorful. I highly recommend the spinach quiche. The crust is buttery and flaky. When we come to town we always get something from here.”

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

“A lovely little place in Carmel. Lovely pizzas. The staff were very kind to inquire regarding our dietary restrictions.

Vegetarian options: They have a few salads and veggie options, and a 'make your own' option where one can select toppings of one's choice.

Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten-free cauliflower-based bread

Parking: The parking lot is across the street and free of cost with plenty of spots.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Wonderful place for a vegetarian celebration. The food was great and the server was so friendly.”

“It is quite a treat!! Espectacular breaking waves Vew along with the tasting menu and wine pairing experience.. It is definitely a must when visiting Monterey CA..”

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

“Am a 30-year restaurant veteran. The entire experience (especially the people) at Mezzaluna reminded me of the shrinking local family run restaurants that work tirelessly to deliver exceptional warmth, food, and experience. From the moment we were greeted by the owner/maitre 'd, to the authentic and attentive service from Rafin, and the quality of homemade pasta's et al. Have not had a restaurant experience like this one in ages! Next visit to Monterey, I would go out of my way to dine here again. Felt like a "regular" and extended member of the family !!!”

“We enjoyed our visit and the food very much. Best Carbonara I‘ve ever had.”

“We stumbled into Rocky's while our car was being serviced next door and our minds were blown.
We ordered eggs benny and chicken and waffles and OMG. Best fried chicken I've ever had.
Staff was great, we sat outside. Just lovely”

“The perfect GF spot! I was surprised by the lack of GF options in the area, but Nece’s more than made up for it. My dad said his cappuccino was the best he’s had in a long time, and the baked goods are so good - in general, not just for being gluten free! DEFINITELY come here if you are gluten free in Monterey!”

“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.”

“Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten in in the past two years. Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious food”

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

“Unbeatable view. Delicious seafood”

“Sunrise Café in Monterey is a cozy breakfast spot known for its delicious menu and relaxed atmosphere. It offers a variety of classic breakfast dishes, including eggs benedict, pancakes, and more, with seafood options like Baby Shrimp and Crab Benedict being popular choices. Located in the scenic town of Monterey, it's a great place to start your day with good food and friendly service.”

“If you approach Foray along 5th Avenue, you cannot help looking into the kitchen. The wide unobstructed windows reveal a brightly lit space where everyone seems dedicated to their task, in a quiet, resolute manner. A good sign for sure. When we entered, we were greeted by Caroline, who turned out to be the owner, along with her husband chef Michael. Her warm welcome was another good sign.

We decided to start with a cocktail. The night was young. We found the cocktail selection to be intriguing, and maybe also a little irreverent… Rum and apricot in a Negroni? I’m glad I tried! We asked for the brioche at the same time (its always bread time!). It was fantastic. I wanted to dip a piece of it in the Negroni – think baba at rhum – and maybe I did!

It gave us the opportunity to leisurely review the menu (we never felt rushed throughout the night, a nice feeling compared to so many other restaurants).

I started (I’ll stick to what I had. I’m confident my companion will share what she had in her own review) with the Castroville artichoke. The menu clearly puts forward the products of the area, and it was nice to think that I had just driven through the town where that artichoke was grown! I just loved the combination with the lime aioli and the mustard greens. The glass of Champagne Salmon was a great pairing. It was also a great pairing with the appetizer, the crab tortellini. The tortellini were light and indulgent at the same time. Again, a remarkable combination of flavors, and a delicious opportunity to compare the meyer lemon with the lime aioli of the previous dish.

Are we there yet? Nooooo. I had ordered the striploin, bleu s’il-vous-plaît! The temperature was perfect, as ordered (how many times…). The sides were imaginative and worked perfectly together. Finally, the Mathewson cab Caroline recommended was a fantastic accompaniment.

The night was not so young anymore… Yet, dessert was de rigueur. The tatin, reimagined, as so many items on the menu, was a wonderful conclusion to the evening (so was the impeccable espresso).
I will be back.”

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable”

“We've been here twice, and both times we got different food and everything‘s been great and what made it better is we got the same server both times Anson which made a wonderful experience .”

“Oh my goodness, this is THE place! So happy we found it and ventured in! Will always remember out fantastic hosts Sue and Bill, and their lovely establishment. It is so much MORE than a restaurant, it is a place like home: warm, loving, caring and delicious!”

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