    night view of the bay

    this is the best new neighborhood in california. cant wait to get the big resort, its already like one now so lucky to be here

    Ahi salad
    Ramy H.

    We've had the pleasure of dining at the Bayonet Grill a handful of times and, each time, the service has been top notch. Staff are welcoming and friendly and they check back JUST often enough to ensure you have everything you need, without being overbearing. The food itself is what you'd expect from a golf course. Burgers and sandwiches galore, plus some healthier salad options. The food has always been good, exceeding expectations of a golf course grill. Does the food compare to the fine establishments in downtown Monterey or Carmel by the sea? No, of course not. But for seaside, this is a gem. Portions are generous and prices are fair. The view from the grill is worth a visit alone. I'm reluctant not to gate-keep this little fact because you usually are going to need to "pay for the view" at other food spots when they have the same vantage points. On a summer day, you can sit out on the patio, order a beer, and take it all in. My only critique is that the furniture is a bit dated and worn out, including the menus and the folios that they're displayed in. If a little more was invested in giving the place a light facelift, it would really shine!

    BEWARE. If you type in "Bayonet Grill Sunday Buffet" you will see a screen recommending you sign up quickly because table's are filling up. IN REALITY, Per the Manager, " STOPPED SERVING THE SUNDAY BUFFET AT THE END OF SUMMER!" My wife and I had a reservation for 9/14/25. When I went to school, summer ended with the autumnal equinox, 9/21 or 9/22. When did it change?

    Made a reservation for Mother's Day's Sunday Buffet. Beautiful restaurant overlooking the golf course and view of Monterey Bay. We choose indoor seating (luckily we were seated at the corner window table) as you never know whether the Marine layer will be in. We arrived at 10AM, weather was sunny with a slight breeze, but when we left the marine layer was moving in with more wind. The outdoor seating is nice, better view, but wind and marine layer after 11 today would not have been comfortable. The hostesses were welcome and presented glasses of champagne to my wife and daughter. The servers are very attentive and will answer any questions you may have. Water never goes empty and used plates are removed. The buffet food included ciabatta roll and butter; Caesar salad, garden salad with two types of dressing; Dungeness crab claws, clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp (all cold) with on the side special tarter or cocktail sauce; smoked chilled salmon (with all the sides); Scrambled eggs, home style potatoes with grilled onions, red and green bell peppers; eggs Benedict, French toast, pancakes, sausage patties, bacon, Yukon gold mashed potatoes with truffle oil; grilled Atlantic salmon; prime rib; desert table with fruit(strawberries, melons) croissant, pastries, muffins, slices of various cakes plus a great tasting coffee both regular and decaf. For children they had chicken nuggets and fries as well. More choices of food than you could ever try or eat. My favorite was the cold shrimp with their special tartar sauce. The salmon with cream cheese on toasted sliced bagels was tasty as well. The prime rib was cooked to almost medium, I prefer mine a more on the rare side, but the Au jus (on the side) was a great addition to the prime rib. The eggs Benedict was good, but the poached egg on some were over cooked. Other favorites included the garden salad and the Caesar salad. The choices of food is overwhelming, so choose small tastings and go back for your favorites. We enjoyed our Mother's Day feast. The buffet is set up in a separate room where larger parties can also be accommodated. This restaurant also serves dinner Tuesday thru Thursday, so we will be back to give their non buffet food a try.

    Umbrellas on the patio

    This has been one of our reliable go-to spots during the last two years. They abbreviated the menu during the pandemic, but always had good carry out food. We brought my Mom by the other day and really enjoyed the selections from the new menu, even though we miss some of the oldies, and we luxuriated in the panoramic view of Monterey bay. We sat near an open door, and I really want to dine on the open air patio next time we come. There are umbrellas for each table to keep off the sun, and the walls are topped with glass to keep out the wind. I really liked my Cobb Salad, and kept the dressing on the side for dipping. My Mom and husband both got burgers with onion rings. Each of them could only eat half their burger. We chatted while admiring this lovely view. We did notice that there is a Liquor License notice on the window, and that the Bayonet Grill is up for sale. With million dollar villas being built all around the golf course, the future grill may be much different!

    Smokin Willie with Fries

    Burgers (and much more) with a view! We stopped in on a recommendation from a friend for lunch. Definitely a casual spot for a solid meal on a golf course. They have a large patio which would be enjoyable in nicer weather (not so much on a cool foggy day). There is plenty of seating indoors though. The view of the bay can be seen from inside as well. We showed up about 1:00 on a Sunday afternoon. We were told to choose any table we liked so we went with a small two top by the window. Jules took great care of us. He stopped over right away to drop off menus and take our drink order. The menu has plenty of variety with breakfast options as well as salads, sandwiches, burgers and appetizers. The burgers are advertised as USDA prime beef and there are a number of variations (bleu cheese, teriyaki, chili, etc). All of the menu items have cute kitschy names. I decided on the Smoking Willie while my husband had the Party Melt. These burgers are thick and substantial. The bun was able to hold up to the toppings which on my Smokin Willie included smoked cheddar, thick bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and chipotle aioli. Let's face it - who wants a soggy bun that falls apart as soon as you pick the burger up. My husband's Party Melt was served on marble rye and topped with Swiss cheese and grilled onions. Both sandwiches were delicious and prepared to order. The accompanying fries were perfection - crispy outside, fluffy inside and not the least bit greasy. They have a full bar and probably the best Bloody Mary in town (they use a homemade mix that has a nice spice from horseradish) as well as a few beer and wine options. It's nothing fancy. Honestly the dining room could probably benefit from a bit of a redo, but considering this was once a part of Fort Order, I totally get the look. The food is solid and delicious and that's what matters. If you are looking for a casual delicious lunch with a view, this is your place!

Not only that, they are good humans. We started with small plates. The beef tartare of knights valley wagyu was served on a bone with marrow, with shaved horseradish and cured yolk egg that was so airy and felt like a special light cheese but with above flavors. might have been our favorite. the generous portion and BBQd bread was so perfect the milk bread - you know this is a must when you see them being served. I recommend eating them with the olive oil, but at least saving a few of them to dip in later courses (if you get the Delmonico steak or pork chop). little gem salad - they treated us this one, and it was one of our favorites. bacon, cherry tomato, buttermilk and parmesan don't do it justice for how fresh every component was. it reset the palate but also stood on its own beet salad - beautifully prepared and presented, the smoked beets were a nice connection to the rest of the smoked items on the menu but veg baked oysters - 2 kasha's, guanciale, creamed leaks; no need to say anything else other than adding a caviar supplement for any of the seafood. the mussels also looked divine and generous we, just didn't have enough people power to eat all the menu on our first try --- now the mains the Royale with Cheese - you know a Pulp Fiction reference is going to be awesome. this burger was so cheese, so delicious, and I literally 4 days later can still imagine how good this was. cooked perfectly, with the right ratios of meat and cheese. the frites were also perfectly cooked. Delmonico - 30 oz of knights valley wagyu, jus, little gems on a 45 minute fire; worth everything that it is. cooked perfect, with so much flavor. it's a lot of food, but we took it home with us and made minis teak sandwiches with some of the milk bread. chocolate mousse----one of the best I've ever had with a delicious whip cream the drinks were also amazing: smoky Paloma, magarita, but the top shelf clarified margarita was worth revisiting at least a few times. Lastly, the crew is just awesome. their vibe from chefs to waitstaff. we brought our 2 month old baby for our 4 year wedding anniversary. we will come back without baby, but they treated us like humans instead of us feeling embarrassed when baby needed to take a break. one of the best dinners I've had, and I've had a few.

The closer you are to ground zero-Fisherman's Wharf in SF or Pikes Market, Seattle-the harder it is to remain profitable. Geographically, the density of Taco Bells and tee shirt shops increases. So, kudos to Montrio for trying to run an up-scale business as close as they are to the Wharf. Unfortunately, they fall well short of the mark. We arrive early and the place was nearly empty. To start with, we ordered the Porcini Pomme Frites ($14) as an appetizer. The fries came out limp and starchy-raw in the center. I sent them back. The replacement or refry of the original batch came back a little past GBD. They pushed the limit on the far side of doneness. And they tasted exactly and precisely like In-And-Out's awful fires. The match was amazing. For reasons known only to the Snyder family, and in spite of endless terrible reviews from food critics, I-A-O refuses to double-cook their fries. So they come out tasteless with an off-putting consistency. Not qualities anyone should try and emulate, IMHO. Now, ostrich and octopus, for example, are famously difficult to cook correctly. But fries are the polar opposite easy to do well. To screw them up twice in a slow kitchen at a $14 price point is inexcusable. I knew we were in for a rocky ride. I ordered the scallops. Yes, you guessed correctly, the kitchen screwed them up big time too. They had a light seer and were stone-cold raw in the center. The creamed corn side was excellent BTW, but not forty nine dollars good. Why didn't I send them back? Well, first, I knew they couldn't cook fries or scallops. Why would their second effort on the second course hold out any promise. Secondly, I refuse to be that guy who sends every course back, even when it should be. At a certain point my philosophy is shut up, learn your lesson, and share an honest review so that other might avoid the sad experience. My wife had the short ribs and enjoyed them. I thought they were dry, which is hard to achieve with fatty short ribs. Her mashed potatoes were okay, though under-seasoned. But if she was happy, so was I.

Our server was very nice and attentive, but there was some unevenness in the courses due to a disconnect between what he described and what the kitchen actually delivered. For example, I mentioned that my partner has an aversion to cilantro, and in one course the kitchen actually replaced it entirely with chives, which was amazing. However, when our server came by, he mentioned they had put the cilantro on the side. In another dish, a full cilantro stalk came right on top of the plate. Not a huge deal since we could just pick it off, but it was a sign of inconsistency in service. We also ordered the cod dish, and when we mentioned we were avoiding undercooked proteins, our server said he would make sure it was cooked through, which confused me a bit since I believe cod is always fully cooked through. On to the food itself, we started with the plum lacquered duck kefta, which came out on two cinnamon sticks used as the skewers. These were absolutely fantastic, with the yogurt sauce acting as the perfect foil for the expertly seasoned duck and the cinnamon stick adding a subtle spice. The Moss Landing black cod was likewise delicious, with the cod cooked to a buttery and flaky texture, and it was paired with a sumptuous vanilla bean butter sauce over a bed of pepper and green bean panzanella that was out of this world. My only complaint was that for the steep price, the portion was quite small. The curried lamb shoulder was exceptional as well. It arrived with a striking presentation, encased in a three-quarter dome puff pastry shell filled with shredded lamb shoulder meat. It came with a side of some kind of fruit compote or chutney, though we were not given a detailed description of most dishes. This portion felt appropriate for the price and was the favorite of the night. We mentioned we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and while we were not expecting anything over the top, we were a bit disappointed when we saw them bring out a dessert with a candle for what I assume was a birthday celebration at another table. For a restaurant of this caliber and at this price point, I have always experienced at least some sort of gesture, even if just a small card or message at the table. Overall, we had a pleasant evening, but it is not somewhere we would return to based on the uneven service and the mismatch between price and portions.
