Father’s Day the Montrio Way: A Toast to Dad with Coastal Flavors

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to show appreciation than with an unforgettable meal shared in the heart of Monterey? At Montrio, we’re bringing coastal charm and bold seasonal flavors to the table—creating the perfect setting for dads who love great food, fine wine, and the company of those they love. Whether you’re planning a family gathering or a more intimate celebration, our warm ambiance and chef-driven dishes set the stage for a truly special experience.

A Meal That Celebrates the Season and the Man

Bold Flavors, Thoughtful Craft

Father’s Day deserves a menu as robust and rewarding as the people we’re honoring. That’s why our summer selections strike the perfect balance between hearty comfort and elevated coastal cuisine. Crafted with locally sourced ingredients and a touch of culinary creativity, our dishes offer a little something for every palate.

Start the celebration with something fresh and bright—like our Roasted Beet Salad or Burrata with Apricots, which bring in-season produce to life with vibrant flavors and textures. For a bolder opening, our Smoked Pork Belly delivers just the right amount of richness with housemade flair.

Then, turn toward satisfying entrées that anchor the meal. Our Charbroiled Pork Chop with stone fruit glaze is a crowd-pleaser, blending the sweetness of summer with smoky, grilled depth. Seafood lovers can savor our Pan-Roasted Salmon, which is finished with a lemon-caper beurre blanc and paired with seasonal vegetables. Each dish tells a story of coastal influence, culinary care, and seasonal inspiration.

Options That Fit Every Dad’s Style

Whether dad prefers a perfectly grilled steak, a tender seafood dish, or a thoughtful vegetarian option, our kitchen has designed something that suits his tastes. Even our Ricotta Gnocchi delivers a satisfying richness with a summer-fresh twist of zucchini, tomato, and basil pesto—perfect for those who lean toward lighter fare with bold flavor.

And for those looking to treat dad to something truly decadent, consider adding one of our house-made desserts. A classic crème brûlée or a warm seasonal crisp can be the perfect ending to a meal well-earned.

Wine and Spirits That Raise the Glass

Toasting with Purpose

A Father’s Day toast should be more than just ceremonial—it should reflect the richness of the moment. That’s why our wine list is curated to complement our seasonal dishes and highlight the best of California’s wine regions and beyond. A bold Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with the pork chop or steak, while a crisp Chardonnay enhances the brightness of seafood selections.

Our team is always happy to suggest pairings that bring out the best in both the food and the company, so every bite—and every sip—feels intentional and memorable.

Summer Cocktails Worth Savoring

If dad enjoys a great cocktail, he’ll appreciate the seasonal selections at our bar. From citrusy gin blends to bourbon cocktails with a summer twist, our mixologists take pride in crafting drinks that are both refreshing and refined. Whether it’s before dinner or as an after-dinner sipper, a thoughtfully mixed drink can add a celebratory spark to the occasion.

Warm Ambiance, Welcoming Hospitality

A Setting That Feels Special

Our dining room and patio spaces are designed to feel like home—with a little added polish. Think glowing lights, coastal breeze, and the low hum of conversation and clinking glasses. It’s the kind of place where stories are told, laughter comes easy, and memories are made over a shared meal.

From the moment guests arrive to the final forkful, we aim to make every experience feel personal and welcoming. That’s especially true on Father’s Day, when our team is ready to help families come together and celebrate the person at the center of it all.

Flexible for Families and Intimate Gatherings

Whether you’re bringing a big family group or enjoying a quiet dinner for two, our space adapts to fit the occasion. We’re here to accommodate and make the experience seamless—so you can focus on the celebration, not the details.
