First time experiencing Max’s grill and the food was out of this world! Definitely going to be a repeat customer whenever we pass through Pacific Grove/Monterey. Absolutely amazing customer service, beautiful and cozy atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.
Max's Grill has fine dining food at the approachable price and atmosphere. I was first impressed by simple warm bread and butter. Then the appetizer of ravioli, creamy and flavorful. Then I got a special menu of the day. Pan fried Sand Daps. When I ordered, I expected it to be grilled and I was afraid that it will be greasy if it was fried. However, the fish was so smooth, moist, with a crust that is not greasy at all. The side of gratin is also smooth with the right level of creaminess. Well, what else can you ask for? I would love to try their dessert but we were already full. I saw many local seniors came to enjoy this place on Thursday nights so its place is definitely trustworthy. I would love to come back an try Cioppino and dessert as well.
Highly recommended!
Excellent service and friendly staffs.
We arrived before closing time and we were still accommodated. It was our first night in Monterey and we didn't know Restaurants close early.
The foods were fantastic! Dishes were perfectly prepared and delicious. The best Shrimp and Veggie Tempura I have tried!
Thanks to the staffs for making our first dinner in Monterey memorable!
Cannot overstate how good the lamb chops are. Taste is incredible, and presentation is picturesque.
Matt is an excellent server, very kind, very knowledgeable. The chef is fantastic!
Nous sommes rentrés dans ce petit restaurant par hasard, alors que nous cherchions un endroit où manger sur Monterey. L'intérieur nous a plu, très calme avec des tables dressées avec goût. Le service est bon et très à l'écoute. La cuisine était parfaitement convenable, avec des produits frais, malgré un coût un peu élevé (notamment par rapport aux quantités, surtout concernant les raviolis).
Yoko is so sweet. Outstanding menu and wine. The best service and the food is outstanding! They are also kind enough to provide gluten free options. Great food and service🍷😊
Traditional French technique makes Max's a delight. We had buttery soup, rich crab cake, and phenomenal short ribs. There could be some who would be disappointed at a lack of modernization in the dishes, but traditions exist for good reason.
The food was AMAZING! We had calamari steak (which I didn't know was a thing) with capers and potatoes, butternut squash ravioli, and tuna rolls, and my gosh if it wasn't all perfect! The kids tried and liked everything, too!!!
Wasn't sure what to expect, so I'm trying to give as detailed of a review as possible so that hopefully whoever sees it has a good idea of what they're paying for.
The rooms were smaller than expected. But if you're intending to be out the whole day
Great little B&B that is centrally located in Pacific Grove. Walking distance to cannery row, the aquarium and the monarch butterfly sanctuary.
The rooms were clean and everything worked well (for such an old house). We had no problems. There is a ni
A wonderful place to sit and reflect. The crashing waves are always intriguing. There is a path between several benches in the area. A great place to enjoy while on a coastal walk or bike ride.
Staff was friendly. Room had plenty of space and was remarkably quiet. Enjoyed the gas fireplace. Best part was walking to the beach. Pacific Growth is a cute town and close to everything you would want to see or do in the area. We would stay again.
Very nice place in the middle of the city. Lots of trees and fresh air. A lot of little trails to follow. I didnât have my dog when I visited but lots of other had theirs with them and it seemed like an area that is good for a dog to run around in.
This is some of the better pizza I've had. (We got the My Sausage Garden gourmet.) The crust is nice and crispy on the bottom, so it holds up against the toppings. The toppings tasted fresh, the sauce was rich but not overpowering. Really, really goo
As usual, my wife and I turned up at the busiest period with no booking. The place was packed to the gills. Asked for a table and told it would be a 20minute wait. Browsed the menu while seated at the bench and watched the locals enjoying themsel
Came here for dinner after spending the day in Monterey. This was such a pleasant surprise! All the dishes were very well done!
The grilled octopus was sooo soft that we've never had octopus prepared this way and yet you'd still get the grilled/smok
Beautiful B&B in a perfect location! My husband and I spent two nights in the Marie room which has a gorgeous ocean view. It was so peaceful lying in bed in the morning watching dolphins and sea lions swimming in the waves and the seabirds flying thr
Cozy, lovely place. I enjoyed my stay there a lot. Well curated design/materials in the rooms and public area, I liked the attention to detail. Furniture and rooms are in very good condition, beds are comfortable. The building is quite old and you he
