Reviews
"It really is a culinary experience unlike any other. Great atmosphere, great customer service and amazing food. I had the 6 course meals. I was very pleased with everything. I will definitely return!"
"To be clear, we LOVED this experience and definitely recommend. My reason for 4/5 is we were never shown a menu, and, at our table for 10, the descriptions of what was coming out to us on the plating was sometimes not easy to hear or very thorough. Also, all of the wine pairing was fun and the sommelier was amazing. She even was very helpful when we didn’t understand what was on our plates food wise. Having said that, I wish that they had used local wines. They were very proud of the fact that their food was all locally sourced, but unfortunately, every wine pairing was European. Just would’ve been a neater experience for our… (Probably most expensive ever)… Very expensive meal if the food and wine had been locally sourced. Lastly, our table for 10 had tastings from one bottle of wine or less each time so at $95 per person to add the wine pairing, this seemed exorbitant knowing the retail value on most of the wines. However, at the end of the day the food was excellent, the view is spectacular, and everybody we encountered was very friendly."
"Exquisite fine dining perched over Monterey Bay. Michelin quality tasting menu with expertly paired wines. Attentive service left nothing to be desired. Thank you Coastal Kitchen for a lovely date night. We can't wait to return."
"Been meaning to leave a review for a while - it was honestly the best meal of our lives! Unforgettable. Bill was $630 but honestly worth every penny. There were so many delicious courses, the flavors were all so divine, and the wine pairings were great too. Service was super friendly. And the dessert was the best thing I’ve ever eaten, honest to god. Pastry chef gets an 11/10 from me. They were also great about accommodating me since I don’t eat some seafood and meat (but do eat fish), they had some delicious substitutions. Plus the view was unreal. Can’t wait to dine here again in the future!"
"My husband and I went for an early Valentine's day dinner and it was a wonderful culinary experience. We did not do the wine pairing, but enjoyed a nice glass of wine with the whole meal. Each course was so delicately prepared, so many different flavors with each course. My favorite course was the ribeye. My husband's meat came out pretty rare for his liking, so they quickly made it to his specification. Each dish was so artistic on the plate and the everything went together so well. The dessert was also incredible, so light and airy, but beautiful and sweet! This was definitely a treat dinner and we thoroughly enjoy our evening. We only wish we could have enjoyed the view more before it got dark! Such an elegant atmosphere."
