    Our experience was great across the board. The service was impeccable. The food was great My husband and I had Alaskan halibut with an herbed risotto. The fish was cooked perfectly which can be tricky with halibut. The risotto was good, well seasoned though not quite what I expect in a risotto. My daughter had a garlic herbed roasted Jidorii chicken which was also perfectly cooked and served over buttery gnocchi. The noise level was moderate. The vibe was convivial.Check it out.

    Such a great restaurant. We were there early (long story), but were seated anyway. Monterey had just experienced a huge rainstorm and power outage (although Fisherman's Wharf seems to have gotten its power back sooner than the neighboring area). The servers and staff were unbothered and waitstaff was prompt, cordial, and friendly. Plus the food was great! you can't go wrong with seafood in Monterey. But this was a notch up.
