[Read more...]Excellent service and cocktails that are works of art. Every bite was wonderful and great attention and care was evident in every item and how they were served. The savory creme brulé appetizer was so memorable and inventive. When you pick a place with a Michelin star in a city known for food, this is what you expect... They excelled with every course.
Highly recommend. Food and drinks were amazing. Service was excellent.
Definitely my best experience in Monterey. Very good food, well cooked, well calibrated and sustainable. The halibut was great. Staff is super friendly and nice. Atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.
