Monterey offers a mixed dining experience that caters to a variety of tastes, including options for vegetarians. The food is generally delicious, featuring highlights like the prime rib, Hokkaido Scallop, BBQ Prawns, and the must-try Comte Onion Bread. The Truffle Lasagna is a standout vegetarian choice, though some diners have noted it could use more of the flavorful truffle sauce. Desserts like the Chocolate Soufflé and Bananas Foster are also recommended, although the latter may feel overpriced for what is served.
The atmosphere is clean and classy, making it a pleasant spot for dining. However, some reviews mention that the presentation can be amateur and that service, while friendly, might lack attentiveness, as it can be hard to flag down waitstaff. Although the overall experience is solid, diners have noted that noise levels can rise, particularly due to the open kitchen and crowds. Overall, Monterey remains a decent midtown destination for satisfying meals in a beautiful setting.
