“Everything was incredible at this restaurant — food, drinks, service, ambience!! A portion size for each meal was perfect from antipasto to dessert. We left no food 😁 My partner has celiac. The server was very knowledgeable about ensuring all his food is celiac safe. Although it was Sunday evening, the place was packed. I was glad that I made a reservation through OpenTable! We would definitely go back to the restaurant.”

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.

“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 staff was lovely. I ordered a goat cheese omelet, and the egg had the consistency of liquid eggs, very uniform, and kind of bland. The potatoes could have benefited from a little more seasoning as well, but considering the location, I can understand why they might cater to a mild pallette. My companion ordered the chicken pot pie and enjoyed the savory interior and flaky top.”

“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.”

“I love and cherish and utterly miss this place.
Unfortunately we no longer live in CA, but much of our money was spent on Friday night Pizza My Way. We went in so often, the staff began to recognize us. We've dined in once and it was really pleasant, but we mainly ordered takeout. Our go-to is the chicken masterpiece, it just has a wonderful flavor profile and never felt heavy/greasy to eat.
We've tried other flavors, but nothing beats the masterpiece. I've attempted to make my own version at home; and I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good at it, but it's just not the same.
I miss u pizza my way :(”

“My wife and I had the special of the day, and I ordered a Napoleon pastry, I loved it! Wow delicious!
We had both dine in and take out.
Vegetarian options: From what we saw, experienced, and tasted, it's definitely worth looking at their menu online.
Dietary restrictions: While I don't have dietary restrictions, my wife was able to order a cappuccino with I believe almond milk. It appeared as though they had many options.
Parking: Ample parking, easy walk into the facility.
Kid-friendliness: Nice clean, safe, open, bright environment.
Wheelchair accessibility: We used parking for those with disabilities, very close to the door, super easy wide entry way that seems easily wheelchair or powerchair accessible.”

“Great Pub Grub! What an absolute gem in charming Pacific Grove. The Monarch Pub truly has it all—comfort, a laid-back atmosphere, and outstanding food. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt completely at ease. The setting is casual and welcoming, with a cozy bar, a relaxed dining area, and a spacious patio that’s ideal for unwinding. It’s the kind of place where both locals and visitors feel instantly at home.
We ordered the British Banger Sandwich, which came with perfectly cooked fries and tasty beans—it was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the crispy, flavorful Prawns and Chips, and they were excellent—lightly battered, golden, and full of flavor. And we couldn’t leave without trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was nothing short of heavenly—warm, indulgent, and unforgettable.
The menu is full of great choices for everyone, including lots of fresh salads and hearty sandwiches. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality and generous portion sizes. Whether you're craving traditional pub fare or something lighter, there’s something to satisfy every appetite.
Monarch Pub also offers a great array of British and Irish ales, a variety of beers, and wines, along with a full bar featuring special cocktails—perfect for pairing with your meal or enjoying during a night out.
Our server, India, was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind—her excellent service made a great experience even better.
The patio added to the fun with its humorous signage, lush flowers, and all of its visual fun elements of Great Britain inside and out—creating such a cheerful and unique vibe that made our visit even more enjoyable.
It’s also a great place to catch a game—whether you’re into baseball, basketball, soccer, or more. The relaxed setting and friendly crowd make it an ideal spot for sports fans.
Easily accessible, you can stroll over, bike over or drive over with lots of nearby parking.
We’re already looking forward to catching a future performance by Katherine Lavin, who we know is incredibly talented. We’ll definitely be back!
Monarch Pub is a must-visit—whether you’re in the mood for a satisfying meal, a refreshing drink, catching a match, or just a casual evening out. Highly recommended!”

“Went here on a whim while visiting Monterey and zero regrets! Best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had and my best friend has not stopped raving about the chocolate eclair. (I think it might have changed her life.) Extremely reasonable prices and very friendly staff. There was a long line, but for a reason. They kept it moving however, and everything inside this bakery is worth the time. I can’t wait to try the sourdough loaf I brought home as well. Highly recommend this great bakery and will make it a point to visit whenever we’re on the peninsula.”

“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”

“The food was amazing, service was great, the only down side is when the check comes, and you see an included 19.53% gratuity, I thought was okay at first because of the excellent service, but then they ask for an additional tip, which i think is a little much”

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

“Cute little cafe with pretty good coffee. The staff were friendly and got orders out quickly. However it was odd that when one of our group asked for a recommendation the staff member responded with, “I don’t know, I do not drink coffee.” The food was pretty good but it was pricy for the quality. Also, it’s a bummer this place doesn’t open until 9 am.”
