We had the most exquisite time at Monterey. Our server was Anna - she was so kind, patient, perfectly attentive, and knowledgeable about the dishes we asked about. We will definitely be back and without a doubt asking for her as our server. The food and atmosphere were also AMAZING to top it off!
What a beautiful place in Carmel! Monterey offers great food with many options available, including a nice sushi bar if you’re craving something different. The service is good and friendly, and the location right next to the Monon Trail is perfect. Be prepared to spend a little more—it's not a cheap place—but the quality easily makes the experience worth it.
The food at Monterey is great! They boast many options, highlighted by a nice sushi bar. The service is good and friendly, enhancing the experience in this beautiful Carmel spot. Situated literally next to the Monon Trail, it's a perfect destination. It's not inexpensive, but for the quality and atmosphere, it is absolutely worth the price.

Thank you Harper! We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience & we look forward to serving you again soon!
Monterey always lives up to expectations. This time, I tried the Macadamia Nut Chicken (pictured), and it was excellent. The pineapple papaya marmalade was a perfect complement to the dish. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, and the staff are always professional and attentive.

If you have a gluten allergy or celiac I do NOT recommend this restaurant. They did not take the necessary precautions or listen to me when I stated I needed all of my food to be gluten free multiple times throughout the order. They proceeded to bring me a salad that contained gluten and when I asked the food runner if this was gluten free he confidently stated yes when it was not. I took one bite of my salad the waiter rushed over and said it’s not gluten free I can just make another took my plate and rushed off. At that point it was too late and the damage was already done. I no longer felt safe to dine at the restaurant. My reactions to gluten are extremely severe and are not to be taken lightly, I was told that they could accommodate me and I notated and stated multiple times I needed everything to be gluten free even at the time of booking the reservation. The night had to be cut short, I was there with my family to celebrate my sister’s birthday and the night was completely ruined by everyone’s inability to communicate if they could not accommodate me or understand the severity of the situation. My family and I will never dine here again.

Selene - thank you for taking the time to reach out. We feel terrible about how your allergy was handled. There is no excuse for the confusion and misinformation about our menu. I'm not sure a typed apology does this situation justice. Would you mind giving me a call to further discuss your experience? My name is Sara and my direct line is 317-847-6495. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
