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.

My husband and I enjoyed the petite fillet. This was our second time there. We live out of town, but we were celebrating our anniversary. It was just as good as the first time we came.
