In the Words of our Monterey Guests

My wife and I shared small plates for dinner. Pulpo, empañadas, carrots, a pork dish. All excellent. Good selection of wines by the glass. Beautiful dining areas. Friendly service.

Fantastic spot. Friendly staff. Food was excellent.

Location is perfecf for heading to the wharf, cannery, lovers pointe, Carmel, and MRY.

Fantastic experience with our friends. Amazing service, great food. As locals, we are so lucky to have places like Esteban to enjoy.

Everything was excellent….from service, cleanliness, property, location…everything! Will return for sure.

Had a very great stay here, very nice ambiance, very affordable for what is offered, perfect location to explore the entire city, would absolutely recommend and would return.

We had a wonderful 25th anniversary on the outside patio at Esteban by the fireplace under warming lamps in a setting drenched in Monterey Bay's history. I called to arrange a surprise dinner. Jennifer and 2 other staff called 6 times to arrange flowers and just the right paella (which was terrific, better than in Barcelona), flowers and a special drink. We appreciated all the staff, especially Stephanie who was very attentive. We can't wait to go back; it's our new favorite.

Casa Munras was just the right combination of being full featured, yet cozy; the staff friendly yet correct and highly competent; all with a good location in downtown Monterey. Casa Munras has a good mix of room styles. Having stayed there many times and experienced different room categories, they are all comfortable and well-appointed, but my favorite are the fireplace rooms, especially in the wintertime.

Highly recommend this restaurant! A great atmosphere, walking distance to most things downtown Monterey. The paella was delicious and the wait staff were very attentive.

The room was very clean, the fireplace was a nice touch and the location was convenient for our needs. Nothing to note.
