We drove 2 to 3 hours to meet up with my son's godmother and her husband visiting from Hawaii, and Aileen made the trip completely worth it. Hands down, Aileen is the friendliest and most attentive server I've ever had. She gave us a wonderful experience that we still talk about to this day. Thank you, Aileen!

Definitely not worth the money Extremely disappointing. This…read moreis supposed to be happy hour, yet the prices are ridiculously high for what you get. My drink came in an extremely small glass, while the price was anything but small. For these prices, you would think they could at least offer a few nuts, crackers, or something simple with your drink -- but absolutely nothing. To make matters worse, it was freezing inside because the doors were wide open. It completely ruined the atmosphere. There is nothing relaxing or enjoyable about sitting inside a restaurant feeling cold while paying premium prices for tiny drinks. Tiny portions, huge prices, no extras, and an uncomfortable atmosphere. I honestly cannot understand what makes this a "happy hour." There are far better places on the Monterey Peninsula to spend your money. I would not recommend it and I will not be coming back.

Best sandwich shop in Monterey hands down. The owner has always been very helpful and kind.Been…read morecoming here for the past three years and have never had a bad sandwich or experience with them and I go in pretty consistently. The brucetta chicken and Philly cheesesteak are my favorites I consistently crave them. The vibe in the restaurant is amazing too lots of locally made goodie's for sale and some old school videos game consoles. Cutest family owned sandwich shop ever hands down.

Warmly greeted by father and son duo. What a cool and pleasant surprise. Not sure the kids age but…read moregood for him for helping out at the store. He worked with professionalism and proper service. I can always respect a good father and this was evident here. We ordered a selection of sandwiches. Loved mine. It was the cape cod turkey. Cranberry mayo was different but totally worked. Loved the sprouts that filled the sandwich. In the store is not only some fun arcade machines, but a lot of local artwork and merchandise. All very cool stuff. Loved local supporting local! Come check this place out.

Marie with Isola Bella is amazing in every way possible!…read more She has delivered cakes for special occasions for several of my guests and each one has raved about her amazing beautiful, baked from scratch cakes!!! I just got another effusive thank you note from one of my guests saying how amazing the cake was, and how it was the highlight of their birthday celebration! What's even more remarkable along with her incredible skill as a baker, is that she delivers her outstanding creations to the home or location of the celebration! I'm so grateful to have her as a resource and that she brings such joy to so many people who come to visit for special celebrations! I've never joined in because I have a gluten issue, but I just found out that she even makes gluten-free cakes! Can't wait for my next occasion to try that out!

I called with a very short advance notice and she accommodated this request. Most of the other…read morebakeries I called required a weeks notice.

I had a wonderful first experience at Cafe Mia recently!…read more My husband and I were visiting Monterey/Marina for the weekend and wanted to grab some coffee and breakfast. We stumbled upon Cafe Mia and were so happy we did! We sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the sun and music while we waited for our drinks and food. The iced chai latte was DELISH. The quiche and apple fritter were pretty good as well. We didn't choose any of the healthy options but there are some! We briefly talked to the owner (I believe) and he was extremely kind and helpful. We will definitely go back if in the area again.

We have been following Chef Stephen and Annie Lo for over 20 years! From Prunedale at Jim's…read moreRestaurant to now Marina at Annie's House! Their food never disappoints and they are always adding new items to enjoy! A great choice between Chinese and American! They have a big "To Go" following but if you have the chance to stay and dine in, you will be pleasantly surprised Annie will make you feel like family from the first visit and Stephen will make your order any way you like it! He has been a Chef over 45 years and worked in restaurants in San Francisco before opening his first restaurant over 25 years ago in Prunedale! Bring your family and friends and enjoy their wide and varied menu! His steaks are incredible, as well as his salads and pastas. He is now well known in Marina for his Chinese food and the place is hopping in the evening with orders to go! Special orders do not upset them and Steve is very versed in healthy eating and he will suggest alternatives if you're trying to eat a little healthier! He has helped people with clean eating with their food to go! They can also cater your next party or gathering. Just give them some good notice! One of our favorite places to go in Marina

This has been my go to for a while in the Marina area. I hadn't been back for several years, and…read morethey moved within the same shopping complex. Apparently they had just re opened that day. The service was outstanding, and they accommodated us moving tables due to temperature changes and our children making a lot of noise. (We requested the moves and they accommodated us each time). The food was fire, I had the burger medium, it was cooked perfectly to order and had fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion). They were all fresh off the vine and ripe and the garlic fries were served hot with just the right amount of spice. 10/10 for ambience, service, and cuisine. Well Done. Gabe Frutos and Family

This place has old fashioned pub down, and it is super kid friendly despite not having a kid's menu. If you're looking for stuffy and uptight, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for small town friendly vibes definitely come here. The tuna melt is amazing, fries are super thick, and burger is huge (but a little heavy on bread). They recently changed ownership but kept on staff. The new owners are fantastic and they support local schools which is a huge plus for me. We've been here a few times now and plan to keep coming back! You can even get on the mug wait list.
