"I chose this restaurant to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. There were many reviews that indicated that Monterey was a great place to celebrate special occasions. I indicated in an Open Table reservation that it was her birthday and requested a booth, thinking it would be a bit quieter place for conversation. There was absolutely nothing that made this a special celebration. We were seated in a busy, table location near the bar and literally had people standing behind me brushing up against me as they ordered drinks. It was noisy and we felt as if we were in the way of the staff and everyone else. The prime rib was a generous portion but rather tough and chewy. Throughout the evening the staff was indifferent to our presence and never even acknowledge that we were there celebrating. I asked the hostess if she had read my requests on Open Table but she indicated that there were none there. In other words...my experience was totally my fault. I know what I wrote when making the reservation. Be advised...if you are celebrating a special occasion that requires good food and a well intended staff, don't go here!"

"Visited with my daughter for our last night in the city on our girls trip. The food was immaculate. The perfect end to a successful mommy/daughter trip. We will certainly visit again."

"The restaurant was excellent. We shared the porterhouse, which was perfectly cooked and more than enough for the two of us. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the sides complemented everything nicely. Service was outstanding—attentive without being overbearing. We went on a Thursday evening, and the atmosphere was relaxed with just the right amount of buzz, not too busy at all"

"Delicious food, portions are on the small side, but great quality and well prepared. The prime rib is one of the best I had. The decor and vibe are great, clientele is mostly business crowd from midtown. Great bar, but drinks are on the smaller side. Impecable service, not too quiet not too loud for having conversations."

"Loved this place! It’s a steakhouse, but their lunch menu has plenty of other great options. The dining room is beautifully designed - elegant but still super cozy. The staff was really attentive, and honestly, I’m surprised we hadn’t discovered this spot sooner. It’s also super Instagrammable! Alex the manager noticed we were interested in the design, so he took the time to show us around. Such a nice touch!"
