    It was ok. Won't be back. Steak was underwhelming. Service was rushed. Burger was better than steak.

    The best beef rib we’ve had in New York! Great meal and lovely restaurant, the $75 dollar menu was the best value for money and the best meal! Staff were so lovely and attentive, great location well worth a dinner when visiting

    The staff was very friendly and attentive, and there is a wide variety of food options on the menu. Unfortunatly, when compared to other steak houses in the area, the steak was mediocre along with the sides.

    I felt like the presentation of our dinner was a little subpar. We got steak frites and it was presented very sloppy and like something you would’ve gotten at a diner

    We were staying at the Lotte Palace Towers and were delighted to find Monterey just steps away. The menu was a great combination of inventive and comfort food. We loved the food so much at breakfast that we came back for dinner. Don’t miss the crispy potatoes, onion bread or the desserts. Considering the swanky location Monterey offers excellent value along with excellent food!

    Excellent wine/beer/cocktail list. Would go back just for happy hour or after work drinks. Apps and entrees were delicious, albeit a little pricey. Very attentive service and tables/booth well spaced out for hearing people at table.
