“Great dinner -- Good cocktails - Blood orange gin & tonic & San Vitor . Also a selection of spritzes. Duck pate' nice size portion to split for appetizer. Cappellacci di Granchio - little soft pillows of crab and ricotta in lemon butter sauce and Spaghetti alla carbonara were both delicious. No room for the homemade gelato. Great service and nice wine list. Suggest reservations.”

“It was my 80th birthday and they opened up early for us for a private party of 30 people. I was AWESOME. Thank you so much for your kindness and service. The food was delicious and very well prepared. We will be back.”

“We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Everyone enjoyed their food and the restaurant has a nice ambiance.”

“stopped by when passing thru Pacific Grove on a motorcycling road trip from the UK...quality food and agreat feel to the place, we were made to feel right at home. Just had to stop by again when on the return journey to SF 🇬🇧✌🏍😎”

“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!”

“Michael’s is simply the best food on the planet! It’s Tex Mex with a Cajun rub to it. Simply the most awesome food you will ever have period…..fight me. Lol. I am loyal to them forever! You will be changed!!”

“I tried something new today, the hot Turkey open face sandwich smothered in a wonderful mushroom gravy. OMG 😱 So good ! And my salad was the perfect size to complement the large portion of the hot Turkey. I added a little Tabasco cause that what I do. I thought I was finished until the little waitress offered dessert 🍨. I ordered a piece of their home made apple 🍎 pie 🎉🎊😱. People let me tell you this is a bucket lister. With out a doubt the best apple pie I have ever had. And yes they make it from scratch. Great lunch experience today ! I ordered a piece of pie for a friend who is not feeling well and dropped it off to her. Thanks Victorian Corner for such a pleasant atmosphere to have my lunch 🙏.”

“The avocado toast is yummy! (Remember to request the carb free (very seedy) bread.)”

“Ordered take out twice during my month long vacation in PG. First order was 5 stars. Fish & Chips and artichoke appetizer. Hot, freshly prepared, delicious! 2nd (repeat) order not so much☹️. I was in-between the lunch and dinner hour and my food had been sitting around awhile I was disappointed! because I was so looking forward to freshly prepared fish & chips”

“I wanted to write the perfect review but I won't be able to do that. The people there were so nice and so warm. The location is in an old house in historic downtown Pacific Grove. But I can't let this go, the prices were high (as expected) and then they did the old trick of, "Did you want chorizo with that"....without telling you it's a $6 upcharge for two teaspoons added on top of your $17 plate of chiliquilies. So for $23, you get a full plate, I mean piled high of tortilla chips covered in a homemade red sauce (delicious). A table or teaspoonful of queso fresco per the recipe (delicious), two fried eggs, and sour cream on the side, (awesome). Most recipes for this dish that I've eaten will offer a choice of protein. Chorizo is a very common breakfast protein for this recipe. I would argue that it should be part of the recipe regardless but if you ask people, "Do you want chorizo on that?", many will say yes for the reasons I mentioned above. But when the bill comes watch out. It was a $6 upcharge to my $17 choice of breakfast. If it's an upcharge you have to tell me in advance. "Do I want it?", is one question. "Do I want it for the price you will charge me?", has to be a separate question. If it's some amount that high, an extra 1/3 of the price of my breakfast, then you shoudl feel extremely obligated to tell me how much. Don't make me feel like an a-hole bringing up your sketchy business upcharge practices to you in the middle of a super-packed breakfast/brunch rush when you hand me the bill. I didn't bring it up but I wanted to, very badly. As good as the meal was the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and more than a week later I'm still shaking my head about it. For a place that thrives on tourist and word-of-mouth business, there's no reason for this type of shady business antics which leads someone like me who otherwise really enjoyed this place to go to the trouble of leaving a bad review. I probably won't go back due to this.”

“fish taco and blacken Mahi burger. the best here. my favorite drink of the month is pomegranate mule. 😋”

“We’re in town from the Central Coast. TOTALLY loved our experience. From the tortilla chips & salsa, to the beverages, our entrees and the friendly staff. We definitely recommend Peppers and will be back next time we’re in PG.”

“Delicious coffee and cool people!”

“First time being there it was great”

“Brilliant place with affordable and delicious sashimi and sushi. Went for NYE lunch at about 1:30pm and didn’t need to wait. Great service as well, would 10/10 recommend.”

“Sooooo goood. This is the second one I have been too and I must say that this one gives you your money's worth. My son and I split a cheese and combo pizza and my wife had the lasagna.”

“In complete honesty I was in Pacific Grove for a long weekend and searched high and low for reliably good food every day, and after many attempts to find something, Monarch Pub had the most reliably good food good drink and good service. Would recommend!”

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“A long time local favorite! Amazing food!”

“Stayed in Monterey for the weekend with hubby and we went here for breakfast. The food was delicious and the service was great!! The place inside is small, so depending on the time you show up, you might have to wait for a seat. We didnt wait long because we sat outside on a beautiful gloomy day. We love the cold weather, so it was perfect for us. Our waitress let us know about that days special, which was chilaquiles, and Im glad I ordered them because they were GOOD!! My husband loved his chicken and waffle. And my favorote was their chocolate chip pancakes with caramelized bananas on top. *chefs kiss*”

“The best chicken sandwich I have ever had!!! Hope to get my hands on one again soon!!!”

“Amazing food and drinks. Friendly and fast service!!!”

“Best pastries ever. Their chocolate croissants are my favorite”

“My group had sandwiches, pastries, cookies, and ice cream, and everything was fresh and delicious. They also had an assortment of loose leaf tea, which you don't see every day. And the staff were so nice!”

“Great selection and events like open mic on Tuesdays.”

“I can't begin to express the beautiful his & her cakes Patisserie Bechler made! The Princess and Carrot cakes were beautiful and delicious! The bakery also helped us when our breakfast plans fell apart. We did a last minute order of their quiches, and they were amazing! It is rare to get such quality and service on a remote order! You all are awesome!”

“Was amazing chicken and fried chicken rice !!! You won’t be disappointed and the staff is so helpful and kind … will go again !!!”

“Hands down the best hummus around. Homemade pita bread and the rest of the food was delicious. My complaint that I did not share with the staff is that while we were eating, even though the restaurant was fairly empty, they seated a group of 4 just a table away from us. Unfortunately for us, one of the two ladies must have bathed in the entire 55 gallons her perfume came in.”

“My husband and I had an excellent experience tonight. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to snag 2 seats at the bar. Arturo, the bartender, was precious. He was so friendly, happy, and was extremely attentive… he refilled my soda water multiple times without me having to ask. That kind of service used to be an expectation, but the industry today isn’t quite what it was. The food we ordered was delicious too! Definitely order a cocktail, the burrata, and pappardelle (we got a lamb one and a veggie one)! We will be back.”

“Great customer service + 1(8)(O)(5)(3)(0)(1)(7)(0)(0)(2) NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!”

“Convenient location on the east side of the Pacific Grove downtown shopping area. Convenient parking in front with delightful business neighbors.

An interesting curated collection of health and wellness products, linens, towels, foods, toiletries, gifts and sundries.

The shop feels full without feeling cramped - there is a lot in there. The displays are neat and tidy with cute corners and displays. It's a fun place to browse.”

“So glad I discovered this place during my stay near Asilomar Conference center and beach. They are located in the Lodge for Asilomar, an easy walk on their trails, and I enjoyed morning lattes and quiche, and evening wine and sunset views from the Lodge deck. Lovely.”

“They're always wonderful, kind, quick, and so friendly. I've always loved subway, and I've been to many, all over the continent and a few overseas... this is by far my favorite.

there is a shorter, a little older, extremely kind, woman who works there and has for many years. She was there back when I was living out of the area and my visits home she would let me practice my (awful) Spanish to order my sandwich so I wouldn't forget (since I lived where there were virtually ZERO Spanish as a first language speaking people 🤦🏼‍♂️). Now that I'm home, and i order it through the app mostly, she always makes me feel confident in knowing my sandwich is going to be exactly what I ordered and never misses a chance to say "hola" as I pick up and go. She not only deserves to be recognized as an amazing employee - she deserves a raise. I would go out of the way to get a sandwich from her, as opposed to any other subway or sandwich shop. Honestly.”

“We love the stir fry vegetables with shrimp and rice. We get it without spice and it is delicious. Mango and sticky rice is also a favorite for us. Everything we have gotten here has been very good.”

“Friendly staff, excellent food.”

“I go for the lunch buffet. The salad bar is well maintained and they have a good daily selection of pizza, though they seem to go with a lot of �.”

“Out of all the Starbucks I’ve ever been to around the world, this Starbucks is the best I’ve ever been to. The staff is friendly, the barista is excellent, and the overall experience is just amazing.

Why can’t all the Starbucks in the world be like this one?

If I was the CEO of the company, I would want all of my Starbucks employee model their behavior after this store.”

“Fast service…friendly staff and delicious food makes Penny’s our daily breakfast stop on our yearly Pismo vacation. I usually have the Pismo Pier Omelet but this year they had a spicy sausage patty that I teamed with a biscuit and gravy DELICIOUS! Others in our group had the strawberry waffles which are light and fluffy and overflowing with beautiful strawberries and topped with whipped cream. WOW! Penny’s is not a large establishment so there may be a line but it is well worth the wait.”

“Soooo good! I had the spicy chicken and yum! 😋”

“For years and years my family and I always chose a bagel and morning ride around the beach for a perfect morning. Our tradition! I miss it so much all the way from Texas, my new home now.”

“Had lunch here today and wow — the food was super yummy and so fresh! The guy who served us was really nice and made us feel welcome. It’s a small place but honestly the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Great service and great flavors!”

“The food and service was amazing! we had the crab cakes and the barramundi. Both were some of the best seafood dishes we've ever had!”

“Beautiful view of shoreline, delicious entrees, great atmosphere, helpful waitstaff.”

“Fabulous food! Great wine and outstanding service! I can’t wait to come back”

“Great Valentine's dinner at The Beach House! I loved my ahi tuna dinner, hubby had the cioppino, meal was great, he was only disappointed that it contained snow crab when it is Dungeness crab season in Monterey. Service was great and we loved sitting on the covered patio.”

“O my Goodness!!! This food is amazing!! I told the guy at drive-thru, I almost turned around and went back because it was a lot of heels. I had to climb to get here, but it was totally worth my drive.!! Great portion size!! Great price!!”

“Went to Pacific Grove to asilomar for men's conference. All the guys went out to ice cream after dinner and what a awesome place this was. This place is wall to wall memorabilia of The Beatles and old vinyl albums and rock and roll. It takes me back to the 70s when I was a child and the memories of my hippie cousins. If you're into that kind of stuff you will dig this place”

“Everything was absolutely delicious!!! We had a bunch of quesabirria tacos with consommé, quesadillas, carne asada torta, rice , beans, and both red and green salsas for my son's birthday. We are definitely ordering again. Congratulations on your new business. You're awesome!! Go, go, go to Aquino's if you want truly amazing Mexican food!”

“the delicious food and inviting atmosphere.”
