Best food on the Monterey Peninsula
Special attention to fresh ingredients

What an Amazing Experience! Oysters and the Mille Feuille were delicious and so was the rest of my meal! I also do really recommend the Steak. It melts in your mouth.
The staff were very nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant has a friendly environment and an amazing Chef!

The food is sublime and unexpected. Yes they are trying hard but the results pay off. They are still new so I’m sure the menu will see adjustment but everything we had was exceptional. Has an unusual French win list that might require some translation to us jaded California wine drinkers.

Had the whole roasted chicken. Fantastic sauce on it. Could have benefited from a starch to go with it. She had the Vol Au Vent which she thoroughly enjoyed. Finished off with the Baba Au Rum which we both loved.

Highly recommended.

One of the best restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula! Klaus and his team brought an unforgettable experience and unreal food to the table. The big six top table seated next to a big open window was quite the experience. A lot of natural light and a nice beautiful open restaurant. It was so cool that they invited us into the kitchen to see their process. We got to see our whole chicken cooking in the corner nestled in some bricks by the fire. The chicken was one of the best chickens I’ve ever had and the whole family thought so too.! We will definitely be making this one of our regular spots. The onion rings are unbelievable and I don’t even like onion rings! My father’s biggest complaint about the restaurant was that there was not a spoon at the table to get all of the sauce off of the plate!

There was not much for my daughter to eat that she was attracted to on the menu, so Klaus offered to make her an amazing pasta that was off of the menu AND…..the Parmesan cheese was unreal! But my daughter sure came around and ended up eating a little bit of everything.

Highly recommend this place! It sounds like they will be rotating the menu every week or so. So, when somebody reads this….some of the things I might have had will not be on the menu. I think the creativity that this group of people have will continue to surprise everybody on the peninsula. Can’t wait to keep trying more.

We’re in love with this place. You walk in and forget where you’re at. Every dinner is a mini vacation, and the food transport me to dinners I’ve had in far away places ❤️ Menu changes often but the new stuff never disappoints!!
