    First timers, but will definitely return again. Wonderful restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We were seated in the Captains Room. The ambiance was exquisite. I can only describe the service as impeccable, they know how to treat their customers and make the dining experience a delight! Brandon and Pedro were absolutely wonderful!

    First of all, the seasonally freshfFood was outstanding, and the decor was on point. The menu had changed from what I saw online, and many of the dishes that were labeled gluten free had been changed and were no longer gluten free. The was the first bit of dissappointment, because I had planned my order around what was available. The service was prompt but they brought out the wrong dish for our table neighbors and to us, for exactly the same pinxtos; a substitution of a plate of three smaller dishes(pickled veggies, marcona almonds, and spanish olives) versus the larger order of just spanish olives that we ordered. The termperature for the inside seating was slightly colder than I expected. I realise that being a tapas place they expect you to order wine or mixed cocktails to keep you warm while you eat. The customers around us averaged an age of 65-70, and so I expected the temperature to be about 5 to 10 degrees warmer. I looked warmer on the patio with the heaters blazing with the temperature outside being closer to 45 to 50 degrees that night.

    Amazing service from start to finish beginning at the hostess stand. We never had to worry about whether our server was coming back to check on us, he also had an assistant server who cleared plates and checked in on us as well. (The check in’s were not overbearing). Food was phenomenal, we had the 14h NY strip, clams, oysters, olive bread & sea salt and a bottle of Daou Cab. Great ambiance, cool setting - there is even a display of oysters on the wall with rocks behind a metal bar caging. The bathroom also had a unique approach to soap- used an essential oil infused salt! Highly recommended and will definitely return on our next trip to Monterey!
