“Mezzaluna is one of the best restaurants in Pacific Grove and the PG, Monterey, and Carmel area! We love going here. The staff recognize you immediately and make you feel at home. The food, drinks, and service are always perfect! You cannot go wrong with Mezzaluna.“

“I first visited this amazing local deli in 1989-1990. I remembered the half loaves of bread stacked high with a pile of my choice of meats and cheeses. Although I was only 18-19, Compagno’s established my standard for an amazing sandwich. 32 years later I brought my sons here for lunch. Same delicious goodness a generation later.“

“Absolutely wonderful and blessed spot to eat and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re at home. When you enter and you’re met with their wonderful smiles I felt their true spirit came through with flying colors. The sandwiches were amazing 🤩 and the baked goods were stellar as well, thank you 🙏🏻 sincerely for sharing your love for food!“

“The fantastic vegan meal option took me back to some of my favorite eating places in Oaxaca. However, the mezcal was priced for Carmel, as it was double the price of any restaurant that I have been in the US. One is charged $11 to $24 for a 1oz pour. An normal pour is 1.5 to 2 ounces depending on the bartender.“

“Being an old-ish Army Vet, I had to try the SOS, as it was the go to breakfast in the 80's Army. I was not disappointed with the flavor or the memories! Great, efficient servers, service and food. 12 stars outta 10 stars! (When the VA appointments send me this way again, I'll definitely be getting my breakfast here!)“

“Beautiful restaurant absolutely wonderful service, wait time wasn't too bad and the food was soooo amazing and filling !! a must try if you're in the area“

“The soufflé was very good.
The service was attentive but not too overbearing.
The biggest issue with this place is the exclusivity. You have to book weeks in advance. They’re only open. Monday to Friday and only for a few hours over lunch.
It seems more like someone’s hobby restaurant. Even with a table open. People get turned away.
I know soufflés are a very timely endeavor and preparation is involved, however when all you do is soufflé I think you could make it more accessible to everyone.
Stay away from the strawberry soufflé“

“Amazing fresh food and super friendly staff. Lots of locals here which is a good sign when traveling, they know what’s around and chose this. Couldn’t have been happier! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Our server was very friendly and efficient. All of our dishes, Caesar salad, grill prawns, spaghetti w/meatballs and garlic bread were hot and tasty! Have been many times and will definitely be back .“

“I love stopping by Alta for something to eat and a great tasting coffee!!“

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a breath of fresh air in the Carmel culinary community. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. The space is refreshingly chic and relaxing. The tables are spaced apart to allow for conversation and there's no rush to finish your meal. You are encouraged to linger and enjoy the best meal in Carmel!“

“I am from Seaside and I have to tell you this has to the best breakfast in Monterey County by far I will return“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“What a fabulous dinner we had last night! Highly recommend Cafe Fina! Incredible food, great service and the owner, Dominic Mercurio, is an absolute delight! We were truly honored to sit at John Madden’s special table! The house wine, Bonanza, is a Caymus product.“

“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.“

“This place will be a must stop every time we come back to Monterey. We found it just by random google search and I’m so glad we did. The food was SO GOOD. It’s a chill and more relaxed venue which was exactly what we needed for lunch. The staff were super attentive and frequently checked on us and asked if we needed anything. The murals on the inside were very cool and wish I would’ve taken pictures of them.“

“Great coffee, food and vibe. Opens at 0630 as well. The team were lovely 😊“

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable“

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

“The food was SO good. Really wonderful presentation as well. We had the clam chowder, shrimp scampi and seared ahi tuna and shrimp salad. All of it was delicious and the view of the water was so pretty. There’s a separate gluten free menu too which one of us used. Great service! Highly recommend“

“Amazing Mbjeu! Try it! Wonderful staff and their cocido is great too“

“I came to Monterey for a self care day and decided to check out this cute little cafe =) I am happy I stayed through the longer line. I expected that meant good food. And it sure was. I noticed it was a one man show. He was super sweet to gifting us free bakalavas for the wait time. I lovedddddd the walnut and the apple cinnamon. I ended up buying 20 pieces for my drive home! I got the falafel and baba plate with the spicy lemonade. It was super tasty. What I love about his one man show, is the dedication to this place, his love of food. It is not your typical fast food culture, it is a come sit, talk, stay awhile, enjoy this food and good company kind of vibe.“

“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 🙏.“

“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!!“

“Excellent Thai food. Not really much else to say about it. Wife got the pad Thai and I got the drunken noodles (they call it something different but it’s the same). Took it to go, although I had to wait a while because they were very busy with to go orders, but now I understand why. The staff was friendly and the inside is a little small. Wouldn’t really support big parties. But they do have an outside area although it’s really small too. This place is probably the local go to spot for take out. Highly recommend.“

“Great service and food…. The hostess served us and she rocked it. Great time. Will come back!“

“This is one of the most unique and exciting restaurants in Carmel. Amazing cocktails and the food is both creative and authentic. Wine list is great too! Never disappoints.“

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

“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’ll offer a better than expected review. Our party of five went for Sunday brunch. 1/2 wait for an outdoor table. Excellent Southwest eggs Benedict; chicken fettuccini; fruit salad and Cinnamon toast special with eggs. Chocolate Oreo cake for dessert. Excellent service for a relaxing Sunday. Glad to return and recommend. Cheers!“

“Nice place to have family gatherings..very nice restaurant and foods they serve..“

“Amazing food with even more amazing service. Highly recommend for your special night out!“

“Amazing food and service. If you need gluten free options then this is the place! GF garlic bread, pasta, and more. soooo good!“

“Beautiful spot, quaint and cozy, generous portions, expertly executed.“

“Crystal Fish is my go-to when I want good value and tasty sushi. The setting isn't overly fancy but neither are their prices.

I took a star off of service because the last to-go order had a mistaken roll. I still enjoyed it. I've also seen mistakes on the bill when I ate in-house. Nothing egregious but I now double check.

Bonus: they are on door dash, now“

“Highly recommend!! We had a 90th birthday dinner for my mom with 11 people. Everything was superb! Outstanding service, excellent food and drinks. Outside terrace is pretty and even allowed our 2 dogs. Superb! Thank you to Z and the wonderful staff, everything was perfect!!!👍“

“Great little hole in the wall Chinese food place. Quick service, great food, a mix of Chinese-american and for authentic Chinese dishes. I had the roast duck wonton soup and it was excellent. 👌 They even gave me a free appetizer (Crab Rangoon).“

“Great way to start a retirement in this beautiful setting! Great wine and food- the views equally as amazing!“

“Happy hour rolled into dinner and both were delicious !“

“First time being there it was great“

“The is the best Chinese Food I have had in a long time. Based on the reviews I was expecting it to be good, but it was amazing! We never think to go out for Chinese food, but now we will. The Pu Pu Platter was a hit. Everyone loved it. The presentation was impressive and the food was even better. Everyone loved what they got and that is rare with this group. The portions were big. Every dish had a generous amount of meat. The pork fried rice even had huge chunks of pork that were delicious. The potstickers were cooked exactly how I like them, a little crispy on the bottom and chewy on the top. The pork filling was delicious. I was impressed with the size and quantity of Prawns in the Kung Pao Prawn dish. Also, one do the most flavorful and rich Kung Pao sauces I’ve ever tasted. I found myself looking around at what everyone else in the restaurant had ordered and it made me want to come back sooner than I had planned.“

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