I really love the whole concept and atmosphere of this cafe, it feels cozy and full of charm. The staff was really friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Service like this always makes a place memorable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and fresh. Everything tasted homemade and high quality. And the coffee was excellent too! If you're visiting Pacific Grove or Monterey Peninsula and looking for a cozy breakfast spot with great food, amazing coffee, and wonderful service, I highly recommend Red House Cafe. Definitely a place I would happily come back to again and again.

When we walked in, we were asked to join the waitlist. we waited MAYBE 5 minutes if that and seated at a booth. Our server was attentive, and brought us our drinks shortly after we ordered them. something I liked was how efficient the service was despite how busy they were that morning. I ordered the spam an eggs, potato cakes, and sourdough toast and jelly with a cup of hot tea. everything was amazing! I totally recommend this place if you're visiting the Monterey area or even if you're a local!

The food here is a fusion between Filipino type ingredients and American breakfast. Those familiar enough with Filipino food has to know that it is going to be oily, salty, sweet, heavy, and rich in flavor. That's exactly what we got. The longanisa must be a favorite at the restaurant but it wasn't my favorite. It's a little too lean to be an authentic longanisa. I needed the fatty sweetness of it. Lol. None the less we enjoy this place.

You can tell the chef is pushing to become the best. Nothing was over complicated, just clean flavors done at a very high level. It's rare to leave a restaurant feeling genuinely impressed by the cooking itself, but that was the case here. Major credit to the chef, the ambition and attention to detail are obvious. We are excited to dine at Foray again!

Every dish felt personal. We chose to dabble in the 3 course menu in hopes to maximize our experience and it delivered! Chef Michael is truly a visionary and brought us an experience we will not forget. The tide tumbled oysters with pomegranate granita is the best I've ever had. The texture and flavor were pinnacle to anything else I've had thus far. My other half does not even like oysters and was proud to be able to enjoy them, and that was just the beginning... please do yourself a favor and indulge here. You will love everything that comes to your table AND pairings are expertly done. Each pairing that we had elevated every dish to an extraordinary level. Between chef Michael's cuisine, and pairings from Jose Gutierrez you will leave completely satiated and happy.

The entire menu is gluten-free which was a treat for my wife. She got the fish and chips and found it to be quite good. The last time she had gluten-free fish and chips was in New Zealand over 8 years ago. So this was a good find. I got their version of cioppino which was good because they used fresh ingredients. All their fish were locally caught and purchased by local distributors. That was nice since you get to try something unique to the area. The staff were also very polite and well knowledge of the ingredients used.

It's $27 and doesn't even come with fries. No onions or tomatoes come with it either and you have to assemble the burger yourself. It comes on a flat oily looking French roll. I would really expect more. Fries are $15 which off the bat is outrageous. Iced tea is $7.50 for a simple glass. These prices are ridiculous and the food does not justify any of this. It's just so boring. They throw random raw ingredients like raw beets, plain lettuce and other items into the dish that serve no purpose other than just a side piece to whatever the main course on your plate is. The waitress was disrespectful and stuck up and never came back to check up on our food or offer anything. Waste of time, waste of money, I'm very disappointed and unimpressed. I expected more. $250 down the drain.

The…read morecheese bread with corn sounds a little strange, but somehow it totally works -- unique and delicious. The bacon cheeseburger was really good, the Caesar salad was a solid classic, and the fried chicken dinner was hearty and satisfying with two large pieces of chicken plus sides. The banana cream pie has a spin on it. I love the brûléed bananas. What stood out the most, though, was the service. My family is in the restaurant business, so I tend to have pretty high standards when it comes to hospitality and customer service. Our server, Razi, was truly excellent. He had the perfect balance of friendly and professional, made great recommendations, checked in often, and made sure we had everything we needed. At one point, I was feeling a little lightheaded, and he immediately brought me a cold towel and made sure my water glass stayed full so I could stay hydrated. That level of attentiveness really stood out to me. He was fast, efficient, customer-focused, and brought such positive energy to the restaurant. So many restaurants struggle these days with finding employees who seem trained, experienced, and genuinely engaged -- Razi was the complete opposite. He was outstanding. I even made a point to share positive feedback with the owner before leaving because great employees deserve recognition. I honestly could see Razi managing this restaurant -- or another one -- someday. As a fun side note, we also learned he's a singer/rapper, which somehow perfectly matched his great personality and energy. Really memorable experience overall.

I went with a group for a business dinner and made a reservation about a week prior. Our server was very knowledgeable and nice and incredibly attentive. We ordered a couple of bottles of wine and she repeatedly came and refilled our glasses. We ordered the calamari, beet salad and crab and avocado salad to share for starters. All were delicious and I really enjoyed the calamari. For entrees 3 of the group ordered the daily fish special and highly enjoyed it. I opted for the scallops and they were very delicious! The desserts were the star of the show and we tried one of each on the menu! The bread pudding was my favorite while all others were amazing as well! I highly recommend this place!

However, they do not have a large selection of local wines so that was disappointing. I was hoping there would be a page featuring "local wines". Glad we brought a wine from Odonata with us. We enjoyed all the food offerings! The biscuit is truly fantastic. I know it's just a biscuit but I really loved the buttery crust and the super soft insides that melted in your mouth. The trout appetizer was tasty... The cracker it was served on was super hard and a bit hard to chew. So... I skipped that and didn't feel I was missing anything. The crab salad was filled with chunks of crab! It was lightly dressed to let the crab shine. Our mains were quite tasty and perfectly prepared. Take note, the clam linguine is generously powered by garlic. The clams are fat and juicy.

Our server was attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Decor is nice and you can tell it's one of the more fine dining places in the area. We started with crab cakes, move on to the pork chop and short ribs. Both were made to perfection. Dessert was a toss up but glad we had the cake. For all you pop rock lovers out there, the addition of this candy to dessert was unexpected but surprisingly good. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.
