Lallapalooza

Fun atmosphere. We were there on a slow night so it was more quiet. However, I imagine on a Friday or Saturday night the place can be hopping and loud. They have wonderful booths though that are somewhat insular so I'm sure even then you could probably have a good conversation. As for the food it was just generally good. They they did a good job with the burger I had - Sans bun. Since my dining partner had the same thing I can't speak to any of their other food. But based on the care they took to make my order right I'd say their conscientiousness is and indicator that the rest of the menu was... generally "good food" ????. It seems in downtown Monterey that it's all generally average goid food... Just depends on your price range and who's got available tables. The bad ones don't stay in business long.

Food was fine for the price, but service could have been a little better.

Great atmosphere, great food, especially the little bites to share. Great service.
