- CCrystalSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were wowed by Montrio! It was one of our most memorable meals we’ve had a long time. The chef turned out every dish perfectly cooked and well presented. The short ribs were meaty and succulent. The Ceasar salad was excellent and had a twist: wood-smoked bacon. The Alaska halibut was paired with clams in a flavorful sauce. All dishes were great. The service - the manager and our waiter Brigette were incredibly attentive, likable, but never intrusive. The place hummed with quiet efficiency and professionalism. Can’t wait to comeback when we visit Monterey area again. Go!More infoMontrioPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6
