What a fun place to go if you are craving a great steak! Its also fun to hang out at the bar and talk with people from around the world that are visiting the Monterey Peninsula.

Pat is a great server. He's been my parents regular server for a couple of years now. I like to go to this restaurant every other year for my birthday, but usually come in besides that as well. The service reminds me of my old fine dining job at Mortons Steakhouse, Sacramento. Oh and we got to see a legend still walking around at 93 years old, ex mayor and major movie star, Clint Eastwood

My girlfriend and I went to have a nice dinner. We were a little dressed up and had a reservation. When we arrive we are seated in a bar style booth with a cocktail table. Within twelve feet of us is a large table with a large and loud group, a table inbetween us that was only three feet or so away and the other side of our booth had a larger table that remained empty the entire night. The staff didn't think to push the table over or have us use a larger table. We started off with oysters, onion soup and a beef carpaccio. My girlfriend said the oysters were delicious, but that was the highlight of the meal. We ordered a Ribeye and a Beef Wellington as our entrees. My ribeye was order medium rare and was tender. But it was burned. The seasoning tasted like ash and it was more medium than medium rare in my opinion. Their "roasted garlic mashed potatoes" didn't seem to have much if any garlic and their "bacon spiked sauteed spinach" didn't have much of a bacon flavor at all. Any substitutions came with a five dollar upcharge. But it was edible.
Unfortunately they served a beef wellington with RAW pastry dough! Fortunately the manger apologized and gave the replacement ribeye for half off. But this ribeye comes out with the center being RAW for a second time. The waiter had the audactiy to say it was ordered "medium rare". I am red green colorblind and don't work with food and I could easily see that the center of the meat was RAW. Not rare, but straight raw. The outside was a bit charred, but it needed to be cooked a second time. The french fries were fine, but definitely not worth the replacement when the dish is almost 70 dollars and it isn't even cooked well.
The table could barely fit the steaks let alone appetizers or more than just the waters we had. I am happu I didn't waste money on a drink. I would rather go to a red lobster than burn my money on a bad experience like this.
