    We loved Monterey! It’s a lovely restaurant conveniently located near lots of Midtown attractions. The food and beverage presentations were impressive. We had the prime rib special and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. For dessert, the Bananas Foster was prepared table side. The presentation and taste were amazing. We can’t wait to return.

    Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!
