Old Monterey Café offers a mix of good and bad dining experiences. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly busboys and decent seating. The interior is beautifully decorated with vintage signage, creating a cozy and nostalgic vibe. The staff makes guests feel right at home, greeting them immediately and providing attentive service, which clearly is a priority. The food is generally good, with generous portions like eggs Benedict and chorizo with eggs that use fresh, quality ingredients, and are served with strawberries and fluffy pancakes. The restaurant also offers French toast with strawberries and coated fries with sandwiches. The portions are large, and the dishes are flavorful, making it a popular breakfast spot. Vegetarian options are available, though not extensive, and parking nearby is convenient. Despite some issues, such as dry hashbrowns, the overall experience is positive. The restaurant can be busy, especially on weekends, so arriving early is recommended. Overall, Old Monterey Café is a decent place for a meal, with highlights including nice portions, welcoming staff, and a cozy atmosphere, though service and food quality can sometimes be inconsistent.
