“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”

“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 🙏.”

“Loved it’s previous incarnation, Crema, in Pacific Grove, love it still at Point Pinos. Friendly servers, good food.”

“Dinner was delicious! Every bite was divine. If you are in the area it is a must !”

“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.”

“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”

“Delicious coffee and cool people!”

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

“A long time local favorite! Amazing food!”

“First time being there it was great”

“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.”

“My kids love sushi, so we decided to stop by this place on our way to Monterey. I ordered sushi, a California roll, fried chicken... and finished with ice cream for dessert. Everything was very satisfying. The side miso soup was a nice touch, helping with digestion and adding to the overall experience. The server was polite and attentive. After the meal, I felt comfortable and full the whole day.”

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

“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!”

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

“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!!!”

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

“Loved this place & the delicious croissants!

Markus who commented below w/ a 2 star rating, and prefers croissants from Costco, has very bad taste. I am glad our paths will not cross when I pick up another batch of croissants from Patisserie Bechler in the future :)”

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

“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.”

“Amazing local sandwich shop! The sandwich is delicious and a great size, and the potato salad is also extremely good. Worth a stop if you are in the Pacific Grove area and you want a great lunch! The cookies and pastries are also top notch! Yummy! 😋”

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

“9/17/25 Experience the Mediterranean here in Pacific Grove. Delicate balanced flavorful dishes accompanied by soft Mediterranean music.
The staff always friendly and great service, been coming here now for the last 2 years and everything I have ordered excellent balanced in flavors not too strong of one ingredient or another, they're Clam Chowder silky and smooth the best anywhere in the San Francisco area.
Today I had their churros salad The Mediterranean comes alive.”

“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.”

“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 �.”

“Friendly staff, excellent food.”

“Very efficient service given the high volume of customers. Mobile order at the security checkpoint and it'll probably be ready for pickup by the time you arrive”

“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.”

“In the scenic town of Monterey, nestled among the more prominent establishments, you'll find a hidden gem, the unassuming shack known as The Grill on Lover's Point. This quaint and cozy eatery, perched right on the ocean's edge, offers an unexpectedly delightful culinary experience.The menu, though simple, showcases the art of grilling in its purest form. During my visit, I sampled one of their mouth-watering burgers, a choice that I now recall with great fondness. The patty was expertly grilled to just the right temperature, achieving a balance of a juicy interior and a beautifully charred exterior. It was a symphony of flavors that reminded me of the intrinsic beauty of simple, unpretentious food.The Grill on Lover's Point doesn't rely on fancy décor or elaborate presentations; instead, it thrives on the natural beauty of its surroundings. The rhythmic cadence of the crashing waves and the enticing aroma of the grill form the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable seaside dining experience.In essence, The Grill on Lover's Point serves as a testament to the beauty of simplicity. It's a place where the love for grilling and the passion for quality shine through in every dish. I wholeheartedly recommend their grilled burger, a dish that manages to rise above the ordinary and delight the senses in every way.In conclusion, The Grill on Lover's Point isn't merely a spot to grab a quick bite; it's a destination, an experience, and a tribute to the joy of seaside grilling. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this unique place when in Monterey.”

“Wonderful fresh delicious food. Was at full capacity but wonderful service from our waiter Richard and the food was quite delicious. We ordered the fried artichokes as an app to share they were delicious! We also both ordered the cacio y Pepe with chicken and the pasta was fresh made and delicious. The chicken was very tender. We were quite happy with our experience.”

“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!”

“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.”

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

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

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

“The portion size was excellent, this is a l family run establishment with experienced Thai chief, who knows Thai flavors. The portion size was excellent, very accommodating to our plant based (vegan) wishes. Large menu, including traditional Thai dishes.”

“The food is delicious! The server was helpful and great at explaining the different options and sides. The chicken was moist and so delicious. It has a cozy little dining area with limited seating. We loved it! We noticed a lot of people did the drive through option.”

“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”

“Our server Claudio was personable, kind, knowledgeable and efficient. What an asset to your team. In addition, the bartender was polite and quite attentive. I don't remember his name. Nice young man. Dinner was great!”

“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.”
