Copied from my review on other platform: Good service and foods. The cocktail were very tasty and refreshing. We ordered short rib and wagyu as entries. The American wagyu wasn’t as good as Japanese wagyu but still well prepared. It’s side potatoes was very crispy. For the slow braised short rib, it was very delicious with rich flavor. However it became a little salty when you almost finish it. So I’d recommend add some sides to balance its taste other than the provided mashed potatoes. We also ordered oyster and onion soup as appetizer. The soup was delicious and oyster was fresh.

Cioppino was really on point – we added pasta to the dish and loved it so much! The oyster starters were really fresh as well. Would be back to try their other dishes!

I really wish I was writing a better review, as the Montrio Bistro has been our go-to in Monterey for the past two years. Everything used to be exceptional, and we were always knocked off our socks.

I nice place to dine at if you are looking for a more elegant place to spend your night. (It’s not too fancy that you need to dress really formal though; you can still see groups of friends gathering here for a chill night)

We went for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we made our reservation we let them know it was a special occasion. The restaurant didn’t do anything special for us…..so, why do they ask if we are celebrating something?

Very nice overall. Really professional service all around. Great presentation. Salads were above average. The Salads were good but the Pasta and Halibut were excellent. Very nice cocktail and wine selection. Will frequent.

We loved the duck breast and farmers salad with its artistic layout. Absolutely delicious homemade crème brûlée. Possibly the best service in Northern California. What a treat!
