Estéban Restaurant - Must try Spanish Restaurant! ...
Must try Spanish Restaurant! The ambience is nice, feels cozy. We had the Happy Hour brussel sprouts, croquets, meatballs, papas bravas and the Paella ( not a HH special) . The food was very good, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed Happy Hour cocktails, which are a great deal for $8. The hostess was nice enough to let us switch tables, to be closer to the firelplace. The bread pudding was absolutely delicious, with a creamy banana icecream. We were here about 12 years ago and it's as good as we remember it being. Can't wait to come back!
I have stayed here 3-4 times over the years. I always asked for a room with a fireplace and I loved the room. Not an easy walk to the ocean and restaurants, but it's an easy drive, or nice daytime walk. I walked at night and it started raining, because I said it was so close. Oh well, but Monterey is amazing. I got my PADI Scuba certification there, vacationed there, it has great piers - commercial and the fishing industry pier. Both you will love visiting. And many places to see, Lovers Point, a big scuba diving bay. There is Santa Cruz and Capitola. Both worth a visit. Have fun if you pick Monterey for a vacation. Don't forget the Aquarium.

We arrived at our reservation time of 4:30 pm for the tapas happy hour and it did not disappoint! We were welcomed with a big smile and seated at an awesome table. We were greeted immediately and brought water and then our server Brenda came to our table and our service was excellent!!! She was very helpful and very polite and friendly. I am so glad we chose to dine here tonight. The oysters were salty and served with a lime juice that was out of this world and they do not serve raw oysters with crackers in this part of the US and this hit the spot. The charcuterie board finished the spot for a meal. The cream brûlée was excellent with cinnamon and orange. The wine was an absolute excellent choice for the whole dining experience. The dining room offers a fir place and an ambiance you cannot find anywhere else and the service staff is on top of your table with everything from water to keep your table clean. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful evening!!
