Carusos Corner Restraunt
May 21, 2008 by Carly from Pacific Grove
Overall Rating: 7
Food:[9] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Pasta and Eggplant are excellent. Lasagna, Ravioli and Pizza looked awesome.
• Salad bar is less than desirable. I see no value at all in serving Iceberg ever!

“Was shocked to see earlier review. So there was a roach. What dining establishment doesn't have them? I get you don't want to see them on the table, but they are lurking somewhere, everywhere. I am a local, and am probably one of the most particular people I know about the places I visit or choose to refer. Having said that, after living on the Peninsula all of my life I recently made my first trip to Caruso's after another local (Italian) told me about it. Awesome pasta and beautiful servings for the $. Agreed the salad bar is less than what one would expect with Salinas right down the road. The place was packed with locals the night I went on a weekend.”

Britannia Arms

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Fantastic food and service
• Nothing negative to say.

“Little British Pub, nothing fancy. We had the Cornish pasties and one of the banger plates, and the food was great! Very reasonable in price also. The Cornish pasties was so good. We highly recommend visiting here, but maybe with no kids. They allow kids, but I wouldn't recommend it. Sports bar type restaurant with good food and great service.”

Santa Lucia And Market & Grill

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Large portions of authentic German food.
• A bit crowded.

“I love German food. I asked the hotel concierge where to go for good authentic German food in Monterey and there were two choices. The Stammtisch, in Seaside and the Santa Lucia Market. We tried the Stammtisch on Friday night and it was merely OK. On Saturday night we went to the Santa Lucia Market and had a terrific meal. The waitress was a fun person and she quickly brought our authentic German draft beer while we mad up our minds about what to have for dinner. My wife has Sauerbraten and I had a Jaeger Schnitzel. Both were prepared to perfection. We didn't really have room for desert, but we shared a slice of Black Forrest Cake. I will return and I will recommend this restaurant to my friends.”

Cibo Ristorante Italiano
Mar 7, 2008 by Lisa from TX
Overall Rating: 5
Food:[5] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Ambiance, atmosphere.
• Food, drinks overpriced, bartenders rude!

“Food is overpriced and of all the areas to eat at in the Monterey area this one is sure not getting my money on food again! Cibo's is a great place to hang out in the evenings and for locals to have drinks. Sometimes the waiters have a tendency to be very rude and been many a times where the service was not worth staying. The music is always great to listen to in the evenings.”

Sapporo Restaurant

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Food, food preparation.
• Service is poor at times waiters not attentive.

“Of all the places I've been to in Monterey I consider this to be the place to take most of family and friends because of the food show and price. I think cost wise it is comparable to most places in the Monterey area just a little more bang for your buck really. The service isn't always the greatest cause there is always so many people there, but the food is always pretty good. I always enjoy going to Sapporo's especially when someone new comes to town that hasn't been there. The view can be very nice as well depending on your seating.”
