This place is so yummmyyy!!! We came on a weekend trip to Monterey and decided to eat here. Service was great! My boyfriend and I came on a Sunday at around 8ish maybe 8:30ish and it wasn’t too packed. Shortly after, families did start arriving and it got busier. Regardless, we still got served our food in a timely manner and would definitely come again! Their outside seating is perfect! They have heaters and a fire setting that’s not super big but it’ll keep you warm. It’s also dog friendly which was cute!

It's an okay dining experience. However, the food is nothing to rave about. We had the birria tacos and the half grilled chicken. The tacos were just okay, definitely not worth the price. The chicken was dry and insipid, the best part of the dish was the asparagus. The menu is pretty big, but that also means some dishes are misses. We happened to have two misses during our visit. Not eager to visit again.

Not a recommendation from me. The food doesn't taste good at all. Totally greasy and no taste at all. Portions are large but that doesn't help either. Plus it's very expensive, the service could be improved and the place is relatively run down.

O.M.G. this place is AMAZING!! The margaritas were perfect and the fish tacos were to die for! It was my first time trying fish tacos and I'm glad I did it here. The restaurant is so modern, clean, and beautiful. Our server was fantastic. If I am ever in Monterey again, I guarantee I will come back to this restaurant. 20/10 recommend!!!

Stopped in for a Roasted Beet and Pear salad to go while I was out running errands. The service was quick and polite. The restaurant was clean and lively and if I had had more time I definitely would have treated myself to one of the delicious adult beverages they have to offer. My salad, although decent, was a little lacking for me. The beets didn't have much flavor and the pears were cut in chunks instead of slices. I would have liked the bleu cheese in bigger pieces, as they kind of disintegrated into the dressing. The dressing was tasty, sort of sweet with a little tang and unfortunately the chives were missing. The greens were fresh so that's a plus.The following week I recreated the salad at home and was much more satisfied . All in all an average salad that could be amazing.Kid-friendliness: Lots of healthy and fun kids options.

I absolutely loved the calamari here! Amazing flavors and so yummy. I also had the Portobello burger and it tasted good! The only thing I would change is that I barely saw our server so I couldn't ask for more water.

Our dinner started after I ordered aqua Anna water for the table. it was served in glasses with lemon slices. Who does that? If I order tapwater, it would’ve been happy to see the lemon slices to disguise the flavor of tapwater. The reason we ordered good springwater from Italy so we can taste it. The lemon slice is absolutely ruined the flavor of the good water. Then the food arrived. My carbonara pasta was something as cheesy as you get a Denny’s for half the price my wife ordered flatbread pizza. It must’ve been a half inch thick of cheddar cheese on top not very good and tasteless. When we first ordered the carbono, I asked for a plate to split it. The waiter asked if I’d like tongs I said yes thank you, when it got delivered, we got a tiny little butter plate served with it. I then asked again for I then asked for a large plate after waiting until the food started to get cold. I got up and asked the manager for a large plate and tongs for the 3rd time, as I turned around. My wife noticed that the manager threw his napkin down and disgust as he left to get my plate. He returned without the tongs. The food and service both was very poor. We had eaten there several times before and did not have an unpleasant experience. It was actually very good and That’s why we’ came back tonight. The waiter took the aqua panna water off of our bill. I tipped only 15% because most of the mistakes were made by the server and manager. All three of us decided we wouldn’t come back again.

The dining experience was rather disappointing. The food was mediocre, and the drinks were overpriced and watered down. Customer service was ok.

Everything we got was awesome, and the drinks were well made. We were also made aware of the backup at the bar which made the short wait for drinks way better.
