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.“

“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.“

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

“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!)“

“Have had the pleasure of eating at both there Sacramento & Monterey locations. Great food, lovely people, happy times. Can’t go wrong with any combo plate and their pozole is delicious. 10’s all around 💚🍀 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-26“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Le Soufflé remains a treat despite the new "lunch only" option. The food is outstanding: each of the four different entrée soufflés was delicious. Grand Mariner, Chocolate, and the pièce de résistance, a Passion Fruit soufflé for dessert were also outstanding. Service remains friendly and personal. However... daylight service lacks the ambiance of an intimate upscale Parisian bistro. Ivan and Lisa have no control over the construction site across the street. And, without the glow of the table lamps the interior feels sterile, something that (flowers, different pillows, art work... something) could address. Still, a cold glass of Champagne, classic salade verte, elevated savory (mushroom for me) soufflé, followed by a cloud of sweetness with dessert sauce or vanilla ice cream is a treat. Plus one can walk it off on Carmel Beach after: Win:Win!“

“We dined here recently and had a very different experience.

Pricing felt consistent with Monterey sushi restaurants (around $3.50 per nigiri), and our food was fresh and well-prepared. As with any restaurant, experiences can vary, but we enjoyed our meal“

“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 .“

“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!“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“We love Cafe Fina and always try to dine there when in Monterey. Great food, cocktails and good wine selection. We recently had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal luncheon there and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, amazing food and drinks. We highly recommend this fine restaurant while visiting Monterey. Cozy, warm and friendly staff too!“

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

“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.“

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable“

“I came here very hungry and lefy quite satisfied. The owner was very personable, friendly and helpful in choosing from among the many delicious options. I chose a combo plate because i want them all. The chicken was amazing and the gyro was flavorful. The outdoor seating was cramped but the lights added ambiance. This place is worth a try.“

“It's a fantastic Thai restaurant. Very affordable and delicious! We went several years ago and returned today, hoping it would still be just as good and it was. Beautiful pastel interior and a casual dining experience.“

“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 🙏.“

“Great view and great service. The fries and the coconut shrimp were phenomenal!“

Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“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 food, view and service.“

“The Pocket in Carmel-by-the-Sea serves beautifully prepared seasonal dishes, with standout fresh seafood and inventive small plates that showcase local coastal flavors. The intimate atmosphere is cozy and elegant, making it ideal for a romantic dinner or special celebration, whether you choose the warm indoor seating or charming patio. Service is consistently attentive, warm, and thoughtful from start to finish. The quality of the food, curated wine list, and overall experience make it a true gem in Carmel—absolutely delightful and highly recommended.“

“Was here a year ago! Hopefully I get to visit this cafe again soon but never too late to leave a recommendation am I right, Great customer service 10/10 everything. I strongly recommend this cafe.“

“One of our favorite places breakfast. We're never disappointed by the food or the staff.“

“First time being there it was great“

“This is a cute, cozy yet bustling sushi spot, always buzzing with people. Despite the crowd, you’ll get a table quickly thanks to the staff, who are running around efficiently to keep things moving. The indoor space is a bit cramped - but that’s part of the charm. There’s also outdoor seating with a fireplace, which is a nice touch.

We ordered the Creamy Crab, Salmon Skin Maki, Monterey Roll, and Hawaiian. They were served on a boat, and the presentation was impressive. Of the four, the Monterey Roll and Creamy Crab were the standouts - absolutely delicious. The Salmon Skin Maki was a bit too crunchy and chewy because of the skin, and the Hawaiian was just okay. The Maki rolls were quite filling, so we left satisfied.

We’ll definitely be back for more! The staff are doing a commendable job - kudos to everyone for staying on top of things and keeping those happy faces.“
