Pino's Cafe has some of the best gelato I've had. I've been to Italy may times and Pino's Gelato rivals anything in Italy. The owner makes it and told me he imports all his ingredients (except the milk) from Italy. He is a third generation gelateria owner and is very proud of his product. Everytime I'm in Monterey, I go and have Gelato at Pino's- even if I have to wait in line. Some of the best!
Pros: great location, great ambiance, dog friendly
Cons: can be very busy

We got a good deal on a room here through Priceline and it was a pretty nice hotel. It was set back from the busier parts of Monterey and it was really pretty, but still close enough to get to everything easily. The rooms were decent and actually pretty nice, but I don't think I would have liked it as much if I had paid full price because they were a little outdated and worn. Overall though, it was a pretty nice hotel. One warning though - you can really feel the building sway when it is windy. When we first got there, I thought we were having an earthquake because it was moving so much - it was a little frightening.

Great location! We go here EVERY year when we visit Monterey for the Historics and other race weekends at Laguna Seca. They have a great deal fixed price menu - 3 courses for $23 I think - until 7pm. We've been coming here for 3 years now - probably around 6 different occassions. Food is always good; good quality and its always hot (I hate being served cold food). But the service is the worse I have ever seen! Last time we were there; we asked a passing waitress if we could order a drink (we'd been there 20 minutes already) and she told us our server would be with us - eventually! She then sat down at a table near us with patrons and carried on a conversation! Clearly she was far too good to be working there (yeah right). If it weren't for the quality of the food and the location we'd give it a wide berth....
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Terrible service

The Persian Grill is the only Persian restaurant in Monterey County but that doesn't stop it from working as if it had tons of competition. The food is excellently prepared with spices expertly used. Don't let the sometimes difficult to pronounce Persian names ward you off - the staff is helpful and the menu itself explains how best to combine foods and garnishes or sauces. The khoresht (stews) are wonderful for chilly Monterey evenings, and the mint tea is a perfect accompaniment.
Pros: Fast seating and service
Cons: None

My co-workers and I went to lunch at Schooners on a gorgeous November afternoon. We had reservations and were promptly seated on the outdoor deck. The table was ready with bread and butter and filled water glasses. The waiters were efficient and professional. Most important, the food was great - fresh and delicious. Prices were reasonably considering you are sitting on the ocean in a gorgeous Monterey hotel. I can't wait for another sunny day so I can head back to Schooners!
Pros: View, Delicious Food, Reasonble Prices

AK's scrams, omlets, and Eggs Benedict are yummy...cooked like you want'em and plenty of them. The cafe is a cafe, what can you say about that? But it has a great view of El Estero Lake and Park...watching the Canada Geese, Mallard, and Coots is a hoot. Service is always good, but not excellent. The prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.
Pros: Brunch food, Lake view, Service
Cons: Interior

Went here expecting something fabulous and was very disappointed. It is as if they took some prime real estate and decided that the food doesnt matter. Our chef at the hibachi table was unfriendly and unresponsive when spoken to. The food was... not terrible but also not good. Bland, bland, bland. It was something that anyone with even a little experience in the kitchen could whip up at home for 1/4 the price. Save your money and eat elsewhere!
Pros: The view
Cons: the food, the service, the value, etc.
