An old, old standby in Monterey, this eatery serves up world-class steaks and seafood in an airy, colorful environment that is casual and cozy. Alive with the ebullient chatter of customers, the restaurant will delight you with its wood-fired California swordfish and its brace of fresh large quail. The wood-grilled, grass-fed beef dishes are to die for and the service is impeccable. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals. See website for menu, online deals, and more.
