Made dinner reservations for three to celebrate our granddaughters sweet 16th birthday. Such a welcoming atmosphere. Great drinks and service. Conner took good care of us upstairs. I enjoyed the Shaved Broccoli Salad and my husband ate every last bite of his pork chop. Our granddaughter ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and said it was as good as it was filling! I highly recommend this spot. And don’t go without ordering the bread service!!!! Yummmmm

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our server, Oscar, was very knowledgeable and helped suggest appetizers and drinks that were perfect. The music and ambience were wonderful for a night out that was a cross between a birthday celebration and Valentine’s Day. Everyone was so kind! The food was incredible and I was only sorry I was too full for more! Would love to come back!

I've always walked by this place for years and never did it occur to me what a wonderful spot it is. They have a great happy hour from 4pm to 530pm I believe, their food is great very light nothing to heavy and tasted very good. I'll be coming back again soon! Great Valentines Dinner we had here and not breaking the wallet.

About our 5th visit? Great every time. It’s a must whenever we stay in Monterey. Interesting menu & eclectic wine list. Impeccable service & nice ambience; formal but not stuffy or snooty.

The venue is beautiful but the current menu of dinner entrees doesn't offer a lot of non-meat options. The raw broccoli salad is great but is dressed with way too much dressing. The salmon dish's curry sauce detracts from the salmon and is too rich. Service was great.

Dinner was great, very yummy and it was easy to converse with friends in town for the AT&T. Will definitely go back and plan on a day time visit to enjoy the heated patio. Great scallop starter along with awesome Espresso Martini. Pasta dish was delicious and my husband has the Pork Chop which he said was great. Ordered a second round of the Beignet desert!
