In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Excellent service from being greeted as we entered to the service both from the assistant server to the main server! Our server gave us excellent recommendations on the dishes to select from. All four of us had a wonderful experience and we would recommend Esteban restaurant. Two of our guests are locals and they just found a gem and will be referring to others (both family and friends). We look forward on returning! Kudos to Esteban restaurant!

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

Lovely place to stay. The room was very clean and well maintained, with everything you could need. The hotel is within walking distance of the local shops and restaurants, as well as the the sea front and Cannery Row. We didn't use the pool but it certainly looked clean and inviting. A very nice place.

Like most restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula Esteban is dog friendly. They have a gorgeous back patio with heating lamps. This was our second visit and the food was as good as we remembered. The margaritas started off a great meal. The Gambas (shrimp), potatoes and paella were all wonderful with large portions. The staff is very attentive and took care of us and our pooch (there is a dog menu if you feel like spoiling your dog). We were too late for happy hour but it looks like a bargain

I recently stayed at Casa Munras on a recent business trip. The room was nicely appointed, very clean and spacious. The location is close to many food locations which are within walking distance. The facility is well kept, quiet and has an amazing history. I plan on staying here in the future for personal enjoyment.

We love our visits to Esteban. We return many times. Great food… Low-key…, As you are. XOXO.

Nice staff, easy check in to our first floor room. Very quiet, away from street noise

Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, outstanding service from reservation to exit. A great date night for our marriage retreat!!!
