    I was excited bc of the reviews but it was very underwhelming. The sushi wasn’t that good & just thought it was way overpriced for what it was. I love good sushi & always willing to pay for it but this was just very average sushi that was overpriced. Also we we’re sat in the outdoor area with heaters- if you go make sure to ask not to sit there - heaters were extremely & took away from the ambiance for sure.

Would you mind reaching out to me directly to further discuss your experience? I'd love the opportunity to make this right. My name is Megan, I am the manager. My direct line is 463-273-6151. Thank you again for taking the time, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

    There were four of us in our group and each one of us had something different that we each enjoyed. Don was an excellent server. Monterey Coastal Cuisine is a restaurant we will add to our list of places to go for special events such as holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.

    Great place for seafood and steaks. Sat at the bar and had wonderful service. Seems to be lot of regulars who come in, which is a great sign. Upscale, not cheap, but worth the money. Highly recommend.

    I made a reservation for 2 for a birthday dinner and they sat us in the bar at a tiny noisy booth. Our waiter/bartender was very good, but not the food. We won't be back.

    Monterey Coastal CuisineResponded on November 21, 2023

    Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience Halle - I'm so sorry to hear that we fell short. We try to take everyone's seating preferences into consideration when selecting a table - those bar booths are the most requested tables in our restaurant, but certainly aren't for everyone.. I'd love to update your preferences in OpenTable so we don't make the same mistake again. I'm more disappointed that the food didn't exceed expectations; that definitely isn't the norm. Would you mind reaching out to me directly to further discuss your experience? I'd love the opportunity to make this right. My name is Sara, I'm the General Manager. My direct line is 317-847-6495. Thank you again for taking the time, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

    Our first time at Monterey Coastal Cuisine and it was incredible. Our waiter was Justin B. and he just made our dining experience a beautiful experience with great suggestions and his charisma made our night even better. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere made our night so enjoyable. If you go to Monterey, I recommend you ask to sit in Justin Boyd’s section and he will take great care of you! We will be back and we definitely give Monterey a 5 star rating.

    Monterey Coastal CuisineResponded on November 11, 2023

    Chris, thank you so much for the great feedback! We are glad to hear that Justin made your experience so amazing. I would love a chance to stop by your table the next time you are in Monterey. My name is Megan - please don't hesitate to ask for myself or another manager.

    We were underwhelmed at the taste of our meals. We were disappointed with the onions added to our Oysters Rockefeller. We had the blackened grouper and the filet was overly seasoned. The location was great, right on Main Street and the Monon. Service was good. Unfortunately the quality of our meal was simply substandard.

    Outstanding service and delicious food! We have a few different food allergies in our family. I casually mentioned I'm allergic to soy and haven't been able to enjoy sushi in a few years since I was diagnosed. Without my asking, the waiter offered several alternatives so that I could have sushi! They even had coconut aminos on hand (a soy sauce alternative). I can't tell you how wonderful it was to enjoy sushi again, and it tasted fantastic! Drinks and desserts were great too! Our waiter was superb and we'll be requesting him again for sure. Can't wait to go back again!

    Went in for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and we were instantly hit with how friendly the staff was. They greeted us with smiles and told us where we could put our umbrella while we waited. Once at our table our server Benjamin (Ben) was super helpful with our questions and even suggested that the cooked oysters would be better if it was our first time eating it. Even when I didn’t notice my coat dropped from my chair Ben was kind enough to inform me he would hang it on the coat rack for me. In all it was a fantastic experience and the fall menu was delicious.

    I had a fantastic time at the Monterey Cuisine restaurant! The food was amazing, and the cozy environment added to the overall experience. The only minor downside was that the sound level on the covered patio was a bit too loud for my liking. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely recommend this place to friends. I can't wait to come back for another delicious meal!
