We had a reservation for 4 at 5:30 on a Wednesday. Parking was easy. The place was busy and noisy. We were seated immediately. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. Our group had prime rib and New York steak (and salmon filet), amazing steak, cooked to perfection along with the potatoes, veggies, and salad. Thumbs up for an outstanding steakhouse meal. We will go back soon. Oh yes, and the wine was excellent!

1/13/24 I have been coming here for 5 + years Ordered Pime Rib medium well, just slightly pink for the third time, and the experience was the same. A plane tasting piece of meat, and a little on the dry side. I seriously do not recommend it. Go to a specialty steakhouse where they know how to prepare it.Service is good overall but sometimes lacking on details, that falls on management, the servers do try their best.Understand my experience, it's a high-end restaurant, and pricy.If you are a serious meat eater, I recommend the Rib eye.Parking: There parking lot is very small and tight. There is the street or across the street, a much larger parking lot.

My wife and went this Restaurant approximately two weeks ago for dinner, I ordered Risotto and prawns and I was shocked and disappointed that you had to pay two separate prices for this meal, I’ve had this similar before at other restaurants in Monterey and I have never been told that risotto is served as meal by itself and anything else is a separate price,this is a disgrace, this will my first and last time that I will ever go back to this restaurant, to think you came highly recommended by a coworker of mine, sad to say I was very disappointed, you need to do a review of how you package your menu. Considering the prices you are charging.

My total bill was $69.85 including the tip but the server added $10 more without my authorization. The manager promised she would return my money but I never received it back to my credit card. I have no plan to go there again. Please always check your credit card statement after eating at this restaurant. That is why I found that I was overcharged.

I had driven past this restaurant several times without noticing it until I was on the lookout for a good steakhouse in the area, and it turned out to be the first one that popped up. What a pleasant surprise!The restaurant offers a nostalgic and charming atmosphere that immediately sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.Now, let's talk about the food – it was nothing short of amazing! The steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare, was bursting with flavor, and it hit all the right notes. And the creme brûlée? Fantastic! It was the perfect sweet ending to an outstanding meal.I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough if you're in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak.

Order from menu at counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know the food is ready for pickup. Wonderful outdoor eating deck overlooking the water. Seals, birds, and otters in the water or on nearby rocks. Definitely a great place!

Way too expensive. Ordered a steak, paid a lot and there was nothing special about it. What was very annoying, was that the waiters were almost running down the hallways. I was enjoying dinner and when people are constantly in a rush, walking by your table, it gets very irritating. I asked questions about the wine and nothing could be answered. I will not return to this place.
