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.

Wonderful Dinner and Service, Kevin was a great waiter. He took very good care of the table and all our requests. We enjoyed talking with him about the area and the history of the restaurant.

I was there a couple of years ago. It was recommended by locals. I was with my granddaughter on vacation. It was her high school graduation present to visit California. We ate at the bar ( as was recommended),the price of meal was less expensive than dining room. The steaks were fabulous. We met some great folks. We are from Alabama and everyone was so friendly. There was a couple at the bar that actually bought our meals!That was such a wonderful gesture from the people of California. I hope we can go again.
