    There is a lot of good food in Monterey. But Tarpys combined a great ambience with Outstanding. The swordfish special was the best ever. Halibut outstanding. The grilled artichoke appetizer was as good as we have ever had. The old fashioned was amazing. Overall excellent

    My wife and I had an early light dinner out on the patio. Ordered a mix of appetizers from the main menu and from the Happy Hour menu. Good value and great setting.

    The ambiance was nice and the food was great. However, for there not being many customers, the amount of servers per guests still left us being unattended to for a considerable amount of time. And while our waiter was great, any other staff member seemed put upon when we requested for more place settings or if we could have the appetizer plates removed to make space for our entrees. We ended up having to help ourselves when we needed more napkins, settings, and water. And I know this can’t be helped, but the location of the venue right be the regional airport did add to excessive noise when a plane was about to land. There were at least 5 during our meal there.

    Single diner so I sat at the bar. The calamari was great as an appetizer. My halibut was pretty good but a little overcooked. Regardless, enjoyed the experience and would dine again.
