Restaurants in Monterey

“We were in Monterey for the 2024 Maple Festival and came across Claire's Cakes and Cafe. It was a frigid day, so the gourmet pastries, sandwiches, and coffee were a real treat. We were impressed by the food, the speed of service, and the quality coffee. Impressive barrista and impressive ambiance. We had to drag ourselves out into the cold and onwards with our Maple Festival exploration. It was that good!”

“I cannot say enough great things about High's. Their food was so good, great portion size, and priced well. Additionally, the wait staff is so helpful, and patient! My nephew was being very particular with his dessert order and our waitress didn't blink an eye, only tried to work with him. She also was helpful and knowledgeable about whether items had gluten in them as I have celiacs. I ordered the smothered chicken (peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce) with coleslaw and a baked potato for my sides. We each got dessert after my friend ordered mountain berry cake, my nephew a double scoop ice cream cone, and I got the maple milkshake.”

“Nice brut style ciders ranging from dry to semi-dry, but no still or sweet ciders, at least those that were offered in the flights. The place was busy due to the Highland Maple Festival, but had good service and the local celtic band was enoyabe.”

“We visited this place during the Maple festival. They were extremely busy. The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious! I recommend the fried chicken sandwich. Everyone at our table said their food was delicious: cheeseburgers, fries and the trout platter. Most of the pictures on the wall were crooked and I really wanted to fix that. ?”
