I got the Pork Belly Fried Rice and it was amazing. The pork belly was tender and came with a sour vinegar sauce that paired perfectly with it. Ask for extra sauce. My wife got the Lemon Curd Pancakes and we shared Marciana's Breakfast Fried Rice. Both were excellent. The lumpia was a little greasy, but still tasty. My daughter got the pancakes and immediately gave them a thumbs up. By the end of breakfast, both my wife and daughter were giving me kudos for picking the spot. Doesn't happen often, so I'll take the win. Great food, great service, and the perfect way to end our trip before the drive home. We'll definitely be back.

Staff was super friendly and kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. I got butter fried rice with pork belly, which was really good!! I just wish the pork belly was less salty but other than that, I was content with my order. My partner loved his omelet order as well. The egg was buttery and fluffy. Parking was easy too, either inside the plaza or street parking.

Came closer to closing time so it wasn't busy and there was easy parking. Keep in mind this place is in the hotel on the 4th floor. The service here is great and we got seated quickly.

I suppose this is a convenient option if you're staying at the property but I wouldn't go out of my way to specifically dine here.

The reservation…read moreprocess requires booking online with a $25 per person hold, which is refunded the day after you complete your reservation. Our server was amazing--very attentive and friendly, especially considering there were only two servers working that night. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, with about 10-12 tables filled (roughly half the restaurant). There were also four people working in the open chef's kitchen area. When we asked which one was the head chef, we were told he had taken the day off since it wasn't very busy. We ordered the milk bread, beet salad, wagyu, chicken, and swordfish. The milk bread was slightly burnt on the bottom, but the inside was soft and pleasant. The beet salad, however, was incredible--beautifully presented and every bite was delicious. It was definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For the entrées, the swordfish was the clear winner, followed by the chicken. The wagyu, unfortunately, was disappointing. We asked and were recommended medium rare, but it arrived closer to medium well. It ended up being chewy and tough, which was surprising given the quality you would expect. To their credit, they did offer us a complimentary tiramisu. It was a very generous portion and the friend who was able to eat it said it was quite good, though only one person in our group could enjoy it due to dietary restrictions. Overall, the ambience was nice and the service was wonderful, but for a Michelin-rated restaurant I would expect more consistency--even on a night when the head chef isn't present. I'm not sure if I would return, but I did truly appreciate the great service and welcoming atmosphere.

There's ample parking in the plaza, so it should not be a concern. We went on a weekday morning, so it wasn't crowded but the looking at how at the familiarity between the staff and some of the customers, it seemed like a local favorite. The staff was very sweet, and place seemed very chirpy, the place reminded of a good old diner. All the staff was very sweet. We got the Quintals omelette, and it was my first time trying refried beans in an omelette and it was definitely something we'd try again. We also got French toast with fresh fruits and it was delicious too.

Because we got there closer to lunch, I opted for a double burger over the breakfast options. I asked for medium rare, but they definitely overcooked the temperature of the meat. The burger was good enough, but didn't blow me away. Nothing groundbreaking, just a burger at a small local joint. The garlic fries were just alright. The potato salad was just ok, tasted more like a mass produced one rather than homemade, if I had to guess. The breakfast stuff was alright, based on reactions.

NICK WAS NICE. Date…read morenight in Monterey. Heard they had great steak. 12oz New York steak was good. Double up on the truffle butter and use it on the side of potatoes. I was dipping everything in truffle butter. The fried artichoke hearts were great. It tastes like a mom and pop burgers fried zucchini's. That's not a bad thing if it's enjoyable. If you order the angus steak and the New York steak, they come with the best of both worlds for side dishes. I split the mashed potatoes from the angus steak and some broccolini from the New York steak. And it was a decent balance of protein, veggies and butter haha. Nick was a funny guy. He was friendly and there Every time we needed him. Didn't realize I had made reservations 45 minutes before closing time. We may have been the last couple in the restaurant but he didn't make us feel rushed.
