“Came here while visiting the area for a conference. Great food (everything tasted excellent and was super fresh) and friendly + fast service. Staff was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The pick three deal is a great value too.“

“Great social place to get great beer. Definitely dog friendly, lots of seating inside and out. The food comes from a food truck in the back. They have canned beer to-go along with growlers and other options for their on-draft beer also. Located it the old train depot with some great historic photos of the area.“

“We enjoyed cocktails and wine at Bud’s during our stay at LaPlaya last weekend!“

“I came here for the first time today and wow!!! What a unique atmosphere and energy. Diego the host originally greeted us and Rowena was our bartender/server. Only thing that upset me was we don't have this place back home! There clam chowder was amazing!“

“Ya gotta go to the Trident Room at the Hotel Del Monte on the Naval Post Graduate School campus/grounds. The building is old and simply amazing. Check out the huge ballroom before going down stairs to the bar at the Trident Room. When we went inside for drinks and appetizers on a Saturday night during Car Week in Monterey County, we were greeted by several bar keeps, waiter/servers and such. All three guys and the lady working the bar/tables were beyond polite, courtesy, spirited and had their acts together. It really seemed as though they were happy to be there and enjoyed their jobs. We had some great Manhattans and good wings and tomato soup. You must check out the history on this place and this room. I bet lots of sea stories and war stories have been discussed here. A worthwhile stop here indeed.“

“What a find! The three of us had an absolutely wonderful experience with a warm reception from the owner, excellent service, cocktails personally delivered by the barman, and a great ambience!
The food was outstanding, and the extensive menu gave each of us plenty of choices. Great cocktail menu as well. The staff was attentive to our food allergies, and responsive to our desires. A delightful evening very much worthy of a repeat visit. As out of town visitors we definitely plan to return!“

“Alvarado Street Brewery continues to evolve in the best path with excellent food and drink presentation. Significantly, staff go above the limit for outstanding service and timing. Steven, our server, is outstanding for perceiving when customers need a request. Alvarado Street is the highlight for food, service, and enjoyment on the Monterey Peninsula“

The ambience was fantastic and even though it rained a little, moving into the bar area was another experience in itself. We can't thank em enough for giving us such a memorable experience!“

“The place is a jewel in the heart of 831 and Carmel Valley. Comparable to an Oasis. Service is excellent and options for beverages and food. Service is excellent and the natural ambience that is set is beyond words to put in perspective unless experienced in person. With friends, family or just to escape the hectic lifestyle by yourself is totally worth it.“

“The bartender was very nice. He let us know the kitchen was about to close, and to get our food orders in. The food was very yummy. The patty was smaller than I expected, but tasty and well cooked. My daughter loved the waffle fries, and husband liked the tots. We had a couple drinks, ate, it was a very chill lunch we enjoyed.“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“Who burned my tortilla chips???. LOL
absolutely delicious food. atmosphere could be a little more cheery, and I think that would have a lot to do with whoever Is handling the bar.. Definitely needs a little more love as far as customer service but overall this place has a lot of potential. EdithEsquire“

“This is a nice, above average experience for dining in the Carmel Valley. Cocktails were superb. Quality of food has elevated, and I had an amazing steak - tender and juicy. Salad was flavorful. They seem to have a good selection of wines. The bar area was spacious and nice looking. The overall ambience was elevated and decorated with great taste. Service was superb and Henry took great care of us throughout our experience. I think this could be a great dining destination for people in the area looking for a nice time and experience.“

“This place is always a slam dunk good eats!
I would always come here for the wings, fish & chips and today all of us decided to have the ribeye steak. Cooked to perfection, simple is better, filling and so juicy. Felt like good ol’ home cooking, fun and easy listening county music, fun décor all around and the service was perfectly welcoming, kind and attentive. No doubt as to why this is a local favorite with a small town, good people feeling ❤️❤️❤️ I should have taken photos… next time 😉“

“Great Restaurant near the city center of Monterey with a great patio to enjoy the weather of the summer.

Top Pizza in Monterey. Margherita Pizza and Pesto Chicken are excellent. Great selection of beer and wine - mixed drinks too.

Today I had the duck sandwich with coleslaw. Excellent.

Personally met the owner. Lovely family owned place. Great customer service as well. Customer for life.

Street parking only. Wheelchair accessible.“

“We had a wonderful meal sitting with heaters overlooking the airport runway. Chef Tim Wood is a excellent cook, and all our food was fresh, and delicious. I highly recommend this unique restaurant to enjoy!“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“Food and service was amazing! French onion soup and calamari to start. We both had the hanger steak which blew my mind. Cooked perfectly. Dessert was creme brulee and panna cotta both were amazing. Much more affordable and humble than anything in carmel by the sea and equally good if not better. Will definitely return for dinner again.“

“We had a wonderful experience dining at The Covey. We sat at a window table with a view of their water feature. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. My husband ordered the Branzino and I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. Both dishes were excellent! Not only were the proteins cooked to perfection but the vegetables and farro that accompanied them were also very good. We look forward to dining here again.“

“My family from Texas was visiting and we came for the first time….. best food, service and drinks. Joe was a great and welcoming service. 100% recommend“

“Great food and very friendly staff. Looking forward to going back.“

“We had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the clam chowder. My NY Strip Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and came out hot to the table. Our server, Colleen, was friendly and knowledgeable. She made a great meal even better!“

“If you’re visiting Monterey and want to step away from the tourist crowds for a drink, Segovia’s Tavern is exactly where you should go. This place feels like a rite of passage — a classic local bar with real history, friendly faces, and a vibe you just can’t manufacture.

Located just minutes from Cannery Row and downtown, Segovia’s offers a refreshing contrast to the more polished hotel bars nearby. The moment you walk in, you get that authentic Monterey feel: relaxed, welcoming, and full of character. It’s the kind of spot where locals actually hang out — which is always a good sign when you’re traveling.“

“Wonderful dining experience. Food was fabulous. We shared the calamari appetizer which was delicious. Then we shared the Paella oh my goodness was it wonderful. More than enough for two. This is a favorite restaurant of ours when we come to Carmel and it never disappoints.“
