    Delicious meal, probably the best restaurant in Carmel! So happy to have a locally owned restaurant among all the chains in Indiana. Highly recommend!

    My entree was the blacked scallops, they were good - I wanted 4 and received 3. The sushi rolls were very good, however we saw one of sushi Chefs chewing something. I engaged my girlfriend at the table and a manager served us some champagne, it was unexpected but welcome. We appreciated the gesture and felt very welcome. We will be returning to enjoy other selections on the menu. Thank-you

    The Sea Bass and Salmon were wonderful. The tuna was not the best cut. They gave us another meal but it wasn't that good either. The tuna was not worth the price we paid. Service was exceptional, especially Kristin. Looking forward to our next visit.

    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and decided to sit on the lanai, our favorite place to sit in the restaurant. I had the amazing Crab Cakes (they are the best in town) and my husband had the Surf & Turf Special which was outstanding! Our server Brittany was wonderfully attentive as were the 2 managers on duty. Our visit was perfect and we will be back! I highly recommend this restaurant!

    We enjoy dining at Monterrey. The food has always been good though the prices are higher then we would like. This latest experience was diminished due to a table of adults next to ours being noisy. Our children are expected to behave and keep their voices low/moderate if a restaurant layout is not intended to be boisterous, which they do though we may occasionally need to remind them to respect other diners.

    Our server Isaac was outstanding. Our table location was not good, right by the kitchen entrance. It also took 10 minutes to get seated. We had 7pm reservation but seated at 7:10. Great food!

    Went here for a first date the day before Valentine’s Day. We had a cute little table on the covered patio. Ben was our server and gave great recommendations and wonderful service. If you ever go on a Monday, I would highly recommend requesting him. We shared the TNT roll and it was wonderful. 10/10 on everything.

    BEST DINNER EVER! I recently dined at Monterey and had an outstanding experience. The waiter, Terry, was excellent and provided great service throughout the meal. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the seabass, scallops, sushi, and Brussels sprouts, which were all simply amazing. The flavors, textures, and presentation were all top-notch. I would highly recommend Monterey to anyone looking for great seafood and exceptional service.
