• Food was cheaply prepared and lacking in any Greek seasoning or spices. I can make better Greek food at home.

“Food was awful. The prices are too high for such poor quality food preparation. If you are looking for a romantic atmosphere this is not the place. Through-out the meal there where two loudly misbehaving children.”

• Very positive place with good energy.
• No dislikes.

“A pleasant experience, from the initial greeting, to the wonderful service. I would consider it more of an adult facility. Their drinks were definitely value for the money as well.”

• Their happy hour is an awesome!
• Certain nights are jam packed, so the wait times are longer.

“Every time I visit Monterey I try to have a bite at Montrio. The place has fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere. Voted Esquire's restaurant of the year for 1995 and #1 by locals many years running this place doesn't disappoint with their menu. They offer haute cuisine presented in an historic firehouse setting and nothing about this place disappoints. Fantastic food in a trendy yet cozy atmosphere. It is varied and often with a little twist on the dish. Click their menu page and see for yourself. Presentation is also done well no matter what you order. They have some cool selections of background music too. From select old school hits to some more modern popular songs. The most unique thing about Montrio is that is was built inside an old firehouse with glass doors on the front where the horse drawn carriages used to exit. They put in some unique cloud like noise dampening structure on the ceiling that adds something quirky to the atmosphere. The center divider between the bar & the dining area is a wine rack wall. Just great decor and great food! Also, Montrio is affordable considering what they serve. I have been to much pricier places in the area with an ocean view and the meal quality is no where what I get at Montrio. If you like wine, their list is quite extensive. They even have a dinner and a movie package for $19.95 pp. Happy hour starts at 4:30 and they offer a selection of small bites for $3 and $4 drinks.”

“Don't know what the reviewer from Texas was talking about. My wife said best Italian dinner she had ever had, live music set the mood right and the wines were also tasty. Not over expensive for monetary my mixed grill had lamb chop great rib eye and favorable Italian sausage, dance till after one o'clock great birthday weekend.”
