    Food and service were excellent! The only negative is the noise level and that was primarily due to a table of 8 who were extremely loud and obnoxious without consideration for others.

    Food was so so. None of us loved or even really liked our meals. None of us hated our meal. Lobster bisque had very little flavor - not worth getting (never said about lobster bisque before). Definitely can’t recommend this restaurant. Doesn’t even have good views to balance out the soso food. Staff was friendly but constantly pulling the dishes as soon as we forked the last bite. Definitely got the message it was time for us to clear out when we didn’t order dessert and they cleared our still full water glasses. Parking is very limited so plan on driving into the residential area and hoofing it.

    We both had lobster bisque soup which was good but different than others we have tasted. I had pasta with a pork bolognese sauce and it was delicious!! Home made pasta, mozzarella ball on top, so good! My husband had the salmon pasta special, it was good but plain/not any sauce. Good wine and mocktail (berry blast).

    Best restaurant in Monterey County. Fantastic menu with unique mozzarella dishes, that vary, followed by a terrific selection perfectly prepared home made pasta dishes. Service is Best in Class! No surprise this restaurant is popular.
