In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Great Spanish restuarant in downtown monterey. They offer happy hour deals all week!!! Definitely a hidden gem for Monterey!! On sundays they have one dollar oysters! Amazing will go again!!!

perfect spot for date night, great presentation, manager was on point. 100% would recommend.

Comfy, big rooms, huge TV! A lovely pool. Friendly staff. Great location, close to walk to coffee shops and nice restaurants. Nothing, really!

I love Esteban. The outdoor dining area is wonderful, and inside is lovely, too. I do not like the menu nearly as much as I used to like it, but it's still delicious. And Sunday night with $1 oysters is phenomenal.

My wife and I love coming to Esteban for dinner. We wish their was a restaurant like this where we live. The food is fantastic!

Cozy rooms, kind and helpful staff, centrally located

Our service was great. The ambiance of this place is unique, two fireplaces one in and one outside. Being from the South I absolutely loved this and was sad to discover this after we were seated. The oysters were the perfect size but I keep forgetting that in the West they do not serve them with crackers. However, they were served with a lime juice concoction that was out of this world and made up for the missing crackers. Our charcuterie board had everything you could want to finish a bottle of wine. The cream brûlée was awesome. Parking was sufficient on the street. We will return. Thanks!!!

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!!

The staff were all very nice. The room was cozy and we loved the fireplace. Appreciated the complimentary coffee in the lobby each morning.
