In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Love this place.. staff is excellent!! Thank you Henna for helping us getting checked a little early so we could check in before attending the motorcycle event!!!!

Ambiance is spacious, airy, cool and the tables are spaced well apart. They've got a nice bar and clean restrooms with a cozy waiting area. Well staffed and quick with service. Food and drink was wonderful! We tried the Octopus (SO good and tender), a fish dish, and a couple of their vegetarian options. All were wonderful, flavor, with fresh ingredients. Will definitely be coming here again and I recommend that everyone try this restaurant once! As a Monterey local, I assumed that Esteban was only open to their partnered hotel Casa Munras. But you absolutely can enjoy a meal here without being a guest - and I highly reccommend you do! I would put Esteban up there with the Grotto, Sardine Factory, and Whaling Station as a few of the top places to try when in Monterey. Happy to find a new spot to frequent.

What an absolutely pleasant surprise! It’s always a little anxiety provoking to reserve in line sight unseen but this exceeded my expectations! From the beautiful reception area with a cozy fireplace to the pool (I was the only person there one day), to the beautiful rooms and super comfy bed! It was perfection! I will definitely stay again !

ELEGANT, PHENOMENAL AND DIVINE ENTREES!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WITH EXQUISITE TASTE, BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND LOVE IMPRESSIVE PLATING!! 1000% DELICIOUSNESS Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Finally treated myself to body wrap and facial. Jacqueline was awesome. Service was prompt and spa is super clean. Felt very comfortable and totally relaxed. Highly recommend this place!!

Elegant, comfortable, welcoming ambience paying respect to Spanish California and delicious, fresh Spanish-Californian-Mediterranean flavors make this a winning restaurant. We appreciated the friendly and hard-working staff. The dishes were suffused with harmonious flavor such as an incredible watermelon gazpacho with herb oil and chocolate mint from the Casa Munras garden.

A very comfortable, attractive and friendly hotel that because of its history and design feels like a hybrid high-end motor inn combined with a boutique hotel in its center. It has a gorgeous lobby and ample services and spa in the main buildings with rooms that feel comfortable, clean and cozy, and appropriate for couples or families. The location is a good base for seeing the peninsula. While breakfast is not included, we were very pleased with the room rate at Casa Munras. We will return, next time with our teens. Finally, we highly recommend Esteban, the hotel's impressive Spanish-California-themed restaurant.

Highly recommend Esteban’s at Casas Munras. Suggest making a reservation as it’s very lively early! I was excited to try their 3 course paella dinner (unadvertised) and it did not disappoint!! It included a yummy salad, a perfect size mussel and scallop paella which was so tasty. The dessert was a crème Brûlée! Our waiter Salome along with the entire staff was terrific! My husband had the cochinillo pork- a large pork belly prepared to perfection! As well the asparagus and pimientos on the tapas menu was total deliciousness! Every dish was unique and thoughtfully prepared! Service was attentive and the meal beautifully orchestrated! Looking forward to trying different dishes when we return! Bravo Esteban’s!!

My friend and I had the Wagyu beef and it was delicious. Our desserts were also outstanding. Prices for dinner were acceptable, and the service was topnotch. I would definitely return.

Easy check-in; wonderful amenities; friendly staff. Comfy bed and wonderful pool.
