"Tuesday Date night/Birthday Dinner - Visited on a Tuesday evening, we selected to eat in the Patio which had great relaxing decor. There was only one other table full. Drinks were great, food was on point. We like to try different restaurants throughout Monterey county and we all were very impressed with the service, quality of food and presentation. The grounds are very clean and well kept. We came to celebrate my sister's birthday and she was very happy with the overall experience too."

"We introduced 4 friends to Estéban and everyone thought the evening was pleasant and delicious. We enjoyed patio seating which was perfectly comfortable with the overhead heaters. The Brussels sprouts and empanadas were a hit with all. Seafood paella was thoroughly enjoyed by 4 of us, and the Marguerite flat bread was a huge success for the entire table"
