Stunning historic house turned chic restaurant This was the best dining experience in our trip to Monterey The atmosphere is gorgeous and interesting with the different rooms used in this house. Service is impeccable and the food was really on point. Way better experience than any restaurant on cannery row (like the Charr House) Will come here again and again. It is pricey. Just know that but everything was to perfection at least.

We keep trying to like this place because the setting is wonderful. The drinks menu is creative, but the wine and beer list is not very extensive. The staff is always professional, courteous, and prompt. But the menu is pretty limited, rarely changes, has no "specials", and is generally uninspired. The food is "meh" - it's not bad, but it's not great and it doesn't comport with the expectations created by the surroundings and the staff. Best bet here is to stop in at happy hour, have a drink and a starter, and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. Then move on for dinner.
