Ravioli was bad, service at bar was poor.

Walked in looking for a place to have a drink and was surprised and stoked to find the motorcycle and race theme. Had a great drink at the bar and good service.

Great service and good eats. Open during street upgrades (July 2025)

We had a wonderful dinner of grilled herb chicken breast, grilled asparagus, and spinach risotto. After waiting a bit for service, we were treated to excellent attention by the wait staff. I would definitely recommend enjoying a meal here. Bonus - get to watch a sports game, too!

This restaurant is GREAT 👏👏 the food is so good that I ate here twice while on vacation! I highly recommend anything with risotto, calamari, and pizza. If you are in town and need somewhere to eat, come here. Parking was also pretty easy to find

Wow! My expectations hit the roof when my son and I walked into this place after spending the day at Laguna Seca. Unfortunately, they missed on every level except ambience. Lovely sports bar, without question, but the food is far below average and the service is blah. My boy ordered a cheeseburger with ketchup and I ordered the 16oz strip, medium rare. His burger came without cheese and my $45 strip was almost burnt. All in all, a $90+ dinner, without booze, is not a good choice here unless you want to watch a game.

Food and service are good. One of the best dining experiences in downtown Monterey. They may not the best view but you don't need that with good dining

The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks! We were sat in the back room for dinner which was very loud and hard to hear conversations. The burgers were fine but the Iceberg Wedge salad was terrible! The wine selections by the glass could be better. Overall a very average experience at best.

New to the area and this is some of the best pasta I've had around town! The fettuccine with prawns was phenomenal, embracing the flame grilled flavor. The bolognese was delicious with just the right amount of wine flavor.

Great experience dining here for lunch. My family and I all thoroughly enjoyed our food, and the service level was top notch. They made sure to get each of our customization requests spot on. We will continue our tradition of dining here when in Monterey.

First, the good. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The food was very good. The restaurant was very clean and has a great motif. It is within easy walking distance from the Monterey Convention center. Initially, we were the only customers in a side area of the restaurant. A bit later, more customers did get seated near us. Now, the bad..... Our Server (1003 Kristie) was rude and condescending. Whether it was asking for clarification on the bathrooms locations, or asking for a split check (2 checks) on a party of 4, she seemed rushed, bothered and surly. We asked for a split check due to one of our party having to provide a single, itemized receipt to his employer for reimbursement of their meal. At first she said no, the restaurant does not split checks. After an explanation of the requirements for the employer, she relented but spoke to us in an even more belittling and/or condescending tone. The people in our party all felt as if we had been scolded and it made for a poor experience.

We had wine and appetizer of flat bread pizza it was amazing !! Our dinner was the Turn 12 sandwich and it's my favorite one there . It came with hot truffle fries, everything was great! Our server was very attentive and friendly along with the busboy who kept refilling our water . We live Turn 12 especially before a show at the Golden State theater. Ray and Kelly

I have always loved this restaurant for dinner. This was my first brunch, and nothing was good. I am hoping it was a fluke!
