9 Best American Restaurants in Seaside

“My husband and I spend a lot of time and money at Michelin restaurants, and this restaurant, while it does not have a Michelin star, should have one. The food is excellent. We had the burrata, ratatouille, and branzino. All of it was fresh and delicious. We will
Be back without question.“

“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!)“

“Great food and awesome service. Worth the visit.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Great for single diners!!“

“I attended from 2001-2006. At that time it was still very new and evolving quickly, I had some really amazing professors and a few not so great. Living here and getting experience so much of nature through my classes was amazing, I loved all my ESSP classes (I think it’s a new name now).“

“The best kept secret in Monterey! First of all the FRESH hand-made corn tortillas! OMG! Best in town without question. Huevos rancheros and Chilaquiles were amazing! Authentic. You want spicy? They have the spicy. You prefer mild? Their tomatillo is super mild and DELICIOUS! Fast service with a smile. Plenty of parking. AND THE PRICES ARE SO LOW“

“We were more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The garlic fries were an excellent start, followed by the pan seared salmon. Even the sides were delicious. Thanks to our server Eric, for the wonderful service. It's so nice to have such a good restaurant right in the hotel.

Update: Back for a second night because last night was so good. Had to have the Garlic Fries again. Oh my... so good! Then it was Chicken Carnitas Quesadilla and Fish and Chips. Excellent! Really good. We went for dessert tonight. Turtle Cheesecake. Oh my!!! We may have to have it again before we leave. Thanks Eric!!! You are the best! So glad you had our table again. Thank you for your kindness!!!“
