About this business

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.

Spectacular food and service. Get the pan sauté San Dabs on mashed potatoes with sautéed spinach or the Pancetta wrapped scallops on linguini. This was our first time there and we are looking forward to returning. Question is... What to try next? The host is remarkably accommodating and the bar service was friend and helpful with a new bourbon recommendation, Redbreast. You will LOVE it!

My husband and I go and have a wonderful dinner every time we stay in beauty Monterey. The food is always excellent and the staff is as well. I would highly recommend it for a lovely dinner with your spouse, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend. We have never been disappointed with their food or staff. Sincerely.
