In the Words of our Monterey Guests

We had the patatas bravas, gambas, pork belly, mussels and clams -- all were delicious!

Wow - I’m a local and had no idea this existed and now it’s part of my regular routine!

We came here pretty late on a weekend, we were on a hunt for a nice dessert. We were definitely pleasantly surprised by their selection. So glad we got to try the Leche Flan and CC cookies, both were heavenly! Nice outdoor ambience, we sat by the fireplace and it was def the perfect conclusion to our date night Staff was gracious and pleasant. It's already bookmarked!

Terrific outdoor terrace offers small Happy Hour tapas & sangria, margaritas or beer. Outdoor courtyard area has fireplaces/pits on when a chill is in the air & lots of flowering plants & vines make for lovely outdoor ambiance. Indoor seating available if inclement weather or too hot. Really loved the 3 different tapas plates we ordered: grilled brussels sprouts; serrano ham w/manchego/pickled onions/mustsrd/artisan bread; patatas bravas. Sangria can be ordered by pitcher or by the glass. Enjoyed it!

I was there for a two-day foreign language teaching seminar and the service provided by the staff there was very good. Service: 5/5

We had an excellent stay at this first class hotel. Gina provided us with an excellent itinerary for our entire stay. A very enjoyable stay with very pleasant staff that made us feel at home. A must stay at Monterey.

During our ladies weekend to celebrate my 44th birthday we celebrated dinner at Estéban, which was our first visit. It was perfection! One of the ladies has a gluten allergy and they had so many options. We loved the tapas style, pitchers of authentic sangria, and the paella was to die for. The staff went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration truly special. I cannot recommend this authentic, delightful restaurant highly enough.

Casa Munras is always delightful to stay at.

A revisit to Esteban's with my oldest friend and it's even better than our last visit!! It was FABULOUS! The patio is so much fun!! We also noticed they added intensive heaters for the fog! We came with our doggie and truly this restaurant brought us so much joy! Esteban's keeps improving in such a tough tough business!! Paella Tuesdays are a very good deal. For $38 you get a beautiful 3 course meal. It included a good sized Caesar salad, veg mini paella and a crème Brûlée to die for!! We ordered 2 other tapas on their happy hour menu- potatoes bravas done to perfection and their clams/mussels on the happy hour menu. The sauce was incredible and we ordered more bread. None of us could get over how delicious it was! Chef Ben Hillan is TOPS! He's inventive, low key and his amazing energy comes forth in every dish!! I watched all the plates and very happy customers! Kudos also to Elimar Acosta, the food and beverage manager! Clearly he was working overtime serving tables and seeing to it , everyone was comfortable! Service is interesting here as all the servers pitch in ! All friendly & accomodating! If you haven't been yet I say RUN to my most favorite dining establishment. Please don't tell too many others as we want to keep it so very special! To everyone there- who added to our amazing memory! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU ALL ROCK!!!
