    Very lovely restaurant and view, staff was accommodating and friendly. Some hiccups with food, the mussels appetizer was extremely salty and served very cold, and the side dishes were lack luster, green beans were mushy and overcooked, flavor was decent but it was like eating baby food. Main courses were great, steak was cooked well and flavorful.

    We had a perfect evening at Monterey Bay celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. Special thanks to Renaud for setting the stage for us with a beautiful window table overlooking the city and for the Filet Bruschetta appetizer. Our server, Ann was just fabulous--so personable and knowledgable about the menu. My husband loved the Baked Oysters as a starter and we both loved the freshness of the Burrata salad. My husband loved the unique entree of seared Ahi Tuna with sweet pepper sauce and linguine with arugula pesto. I had the delicious signature crab cakes with an herby aioli. Ann treated us with the Angel Food Grilled Cheese dessert that was amazing with berry sauce and vanilla ice cream. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate our special days. Grazie mille!

    Dinner was very good. One concern is that the ahi tuna portion size was somewhat light.

    Food was amazing. I had sea bass. Brussels are wonderful. And the baked oysters. Burrata and tomato salad was average. And it’s the best view in town
