    Plenty of seating. The server es were super kind and helpful, we were never without anything. The suggestion for the chorizo Benedict was amazing! So delicious and flavorful. The pumpkin pancakes were also very tasty. This is a hidden gem!

    Great experience! Service was attentive and quick. The food was delicious and filling. I had the mocha to drink and the mexican eggs benedict. The jalapenos added a nice fresh flavor to the chorizo and overall dish. I definitely enjoyed everything I ordered. I would definitely come back and would recommend to others.

    Came here for brunch in the early afternoon on a Tuesday, party of 2. My order: sunrise breakfast with the waffle, 2 eggs poached, and sausage links for $18. Pros: - very fast service! food came out so quickly like in 5 minutes - Really delicious food, the waffle was great - Very clean and simple decor inside - Lots of seating, but best for parties of 4 or less - poached eggs were excellently done. - Everyone was kind and professional Cons: - None. simple, straightforward brunch. Nothing fancy, you get what you pay for!

    My kids loved this place and that's makes us very happy.

    Our kids love this place and that makes us very happy! The eggs, bacon, chilaquiles, and hot coco were our favs. Definitely stay closer to here next visit.

    We were on our way to a different breakfast place when we spotted Sunrise Cafe & wanted to try it instead. We were met with friendly faces & received excellent service. Our waiter, Giovanni, was attentive, friendly & very professional. The owner came by & told us she's been here for 3 years. I loved the interior of the cafe. It has cute French paintings throughout & it's nice & bright in here. There's some windows looking out to Lighthouse Avenue & our server put us in the best spot. Now the food! My avocado toast was the BEST AVOCADO TOAST I've ever had!!! I chose to add tomato to it & mixed with the oils, seasoning & the amazingly fluffy bread creates a decadent flavor. I truly had to savor it because I know I could eat it all way too fast. My husband loved their steak & he said the sourdough toast was the best he's had. It's fluffy & full of flavor. Our baby enjoyed her waffles & sausage. They truly give a ton of food for the price on a kids menu!! Honestly, I'm so thankful we decided to come here instead of the other place. This friendly & quiet atmosphere was everything we wanted to experience on our vacation, as well as the food. We look forward to coming here in the future as we visit Monterey often.

    Very tasty and friendly. It is a small place, but we were able to get a table on a Friday morning. I listened to other reviewers and tried the avocado toast with buffalo mozzarella and I also got a side of bacon for the table. My husband got the Spanish omelette with toast and crispy hashbrowns. Both of our food was delicious and came out fast. The servers were on top of water and if we needed anything. Would definitely eat there again.

    Came to Sunrise Cafe on a Sunday at 9:20am. It was about a third filled at the time and so I got seated right away. By 9:45am, the seating inside was full. There was 4+ tables outside. My husband and I got seated at a 2 seater table by the big window in the front of the restaurant, which I thought was the best seat in the house. The inside of the restaurant is clean, cozy, and decorated with light wood tables and chairs with green vinyl seats. There was soft instrumental music playing in the background too. I ordered the chicken fried steak, my husband's favorite breakfast dish, from the Specialty menu at $23.99 and two coffees at $3.99 each. My husband and I split the order. The chicken fried steak was a good size steak and was breaded with a crispy panko crust, which I haven't had cooked that way before. The gravy was tasty and not too salty like some can be. The dish came with homefries made of freshly pan fried red potatoe chunks, two eggs, and sourdough toast. Service was good and we enjoyed our meal there, and I will recommended it to our friends.

    Solid meal at Sunrise. Cute little cafe with good service. I got the florentine Benedict. Star of the show was definitely the hollandaise sauce.

    Food was just ok. Service was ok. The restaurant seemed clean but the bathroom needed attending to. It was cold inside. It was Christmas time and they didn't have much of any decorations. Street parking only. I don't think I will be back.

    It was fine. I maybe ordered not their best thing but to be fair it was on their "special menu". I ordered the fried steak with over medium eggs and hash browns. It was pretty greasy, chewy edges either fat or skin, and the eggs were over easy. I may be nitpicking but i wouldn't have minded if it was like $15 but it was $24. I also got a latte but with this place i think you are better off with plain coffee. and then i got a side of sausage links for my dog. All in all the bill came out to $40 w/o tip. So, not my favorite spot, i'd maybe give it another chance with a different order. The positive is that the servers are all very nice and friendly. I did sit outside and it is a busy street just fyi so me going alone was fine but if going with a group id go inside so you can hear each other

    i wanted french toast & so badly wanted banana nut pancakes & they made it happened for me  the service was great!

    Quick two night stay from Friday-Sunday. Didn't really use any amenities so can't comment on that…read more The hotel is great if you're driving to nearby Carmel or Big Sur. Check-in was easy and prompt. It was quite busy for a Friday check-in but there were 5-6 workers checking people in so it went pretty fast. They were providing water bottles to those who were waiting, and also let people know that there were s'more kits to use at the outside fireplace facing the golf course. You may have to drive to where your room is as there are various buildings in the hotel, so perhaps wait to get your luggage out of your car until after check-in. There looked to be quite a few kids at the property as well as they had some ping pong tables and life size chess available near the main building. The room itself was really spacious and clean. Nothing was really wrong in the room. Perhaps the AC wasn't the best (maybe we were using it wrong), but there is a fan right above the bed which was VERY cool/strong once turned on. WiFi was a bit spotty throughout the stay. TV in the room had Google cast which was nice.

    Brother please. Why are there no doors on the showers!? Your shower water just splashes into the…read morerest of the restroom!? Why. Hotel otherwise was nice. Standard four star amenities. They have free smores, which is truly the only great thing. Don't stay here unless you golf.

    I finally was able to make a trip to Monterey/Pacific Grove, sadly it's been years. That being said…read morewe chose Rosine's because it was always a favorite of ours. Our order consisted of a steak salad/fries and a calamari steak sandwich. I can't comment on my daughter's food because she ate all of it with no complaints. Mine was ok, wasn't bad nor great but I was excited (I'm a fatty) about the slice of key lime pie I took home. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. No key lime "zing" to the filling and the whipped cream only had a small hint of sweetness. The sliced almonds were really unpleasant, they had the old rancid taste/smell. Overall I wasn't thrilled with the food nor the price. Service was below average, I say that because it was not busy at all yet we had to get the servers attention more than once, meaning she didn't check on us. On a positive note I was able to spend the day with my beautiful daughter.

    Been coming here since I was in the single digits & makes it nearly 4 decades I've been coming here…read morewith family, friends, or solo. If you're a desert person, you're in luck! Their homemade cakes are to die for with a gnarly range of choices. Enjoy! This day I was in the mood for comfort food, so I ordered Family Burger Medium with French Fries & No Cheese on the burger. But first I had to have their famous Minestrone Bowl, not cup, but the bowl. LOL! My cousin had a cup & said "That was the best minestrone soup I've ever had." I replied "They have perfected this recipe for decades upon decades. It's their famous soup." Thank you Jose R for your rad customer service & greatly appreciate you. The ambiance still remains fresh & clean, kind of reminds me of a restaurant that would be in Disneyland or Disney World.
