A Taste of Monterey - Wine Market & Bistro

"Enjoyed a nice afternoon @ "A Taste of Monterey"! Whether you come for the food & wine, or just wonderful wines...make it a definite visit. I'm sure they can be busy (so check on a reservation), but we were lucky enough to walk right in. Attached is a view from our seats."

"Loved my afternoon visit. Had exquisite California wines and some delicious bisque. I spent time gazing at the peaceful Monterey Bay with sailboats and otters and sea birds. The atmosphere here is quiet, refined, and friendly. I chatted with some regulars here and longtime residents of the area. I had a lovely early evening."

"Came in for wine tasting for the wife. I'm not a wine drinker. Beautiful views and good snacks. We ordered the five piece charcuterie board with chef selected accompaniments. Everything was very yummy. We also ordered the Monterey Crab Dip. It's less of a dip and more of a spread to go with the sourdough bread that comes with it. Also yummy. My wife got the Rose All Day wine flight, which she really enjoyed. Awesome place. Good views. Tasty food. Would recommend and would come back. Thank you everyone!!"

"This restaurant has a beautiful view, they have huge window glasses where you can see the ocean right there. The food here is just about average. ordered two pizzas and a five item cheeseboard, and smoke salmon. The service here…. Our server is actually pretty nice. Come here around 4 PM and since we have a group of six we are not able to sit on the table right next to the window. So after the drinks came, we went to take pictures on the table right next to the window. The waitress came and put a “reserved” thing on the table, but she didn’t really say anything about us take a picture there. And then two minutes later she came back with a grumpy face and asked to leave the table. It is totally OK for her to ask us to leave but I would really appreciate if she said that in a professional way. And I think the manager can totally do a much better job on training their associates on how to communicate with their customers better."
