Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Monterey Park

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. My mouth waters just thinking about what I would order even before getting there. The food and service are amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

The service was great and the prime rib dinners were excellent.

The food is nothing short of outstanding, Shawn (sp??), our server, was super friendly and helpful, my wife and i have been to restaurants all over N Am and i said to her The Little Door had the best ambiance of any restaurant i have ever been in

Shirley Brasserie was a wonderful dining experience that paired the great atmosphere of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with great food. The Restaurant occupies a quiet part of the Lobby area and is large enough to find seating but intimate enough to feel separated from other diners. The menu is spartan but focused, as is the wine list. The appetizers we had were first-rate and handsomely presented. I would recommend the chicken liver mousse, as it was special and hadn't seen it elsewhere. I consider myself an expert on duck and generally prefer it roasted, as many restaurants don't really have the expertise to properly sear it. Not true here. The duck was properly spiced and glazed and seared just right. For this style of preparation, I've not had better. The Shirley Brasserie is not inexpensive, but considering the quality of the food and service (which was also outstanding), I would rate it as a good value. Something for a special occasion.

Always wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. The manager, Jesus is also wonderful, knowledge and, keeps up with his customers' needs and concerns. Almansor court is just the best place for a nice Sunday Brunch. I drive here from Moreno Valley in Riverside County. It's worth the drive to enjoy a Sunday with friends and family at Almansor Court.
