the C restaurant + bar, Monterey CA

Good food with high quality ingredients but small portions. When we sat down, we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. Forgot that tap is probably an option so we had the opportunity to accidentally enjoy a single bottle of $14 still water.

The wait staff were very efficient and our food arrived quickly. Clam chowder is pretty good taste and portion wise but the wedge salad is very small and we did not think worth the price.

David talked about mixology with us. We learned about so many great cocktails! Had fun playing mixology class!

All around 5 stars. The staff here is absolutely amazing. Our family has been going here for 12 years and enjoyed the best service by Salvador. We highly recommend asking for his section.

Beyond the service, the food is top notch. They have some of the best oysters you can eat in Monterey. The entrées are done to perfection with each bite better than the one before. Salvador recommended the Honey Toast dessert which was so mind blowing.

Expect to pay about 50-100 per person but have one of the best dining experiences in Monterey.

If Salvador isn't there ask for Devin and tell them we sent you). Also, the management staff, Amanda, is top of her class in guest services and can handle any situation.

Very good seafood in a beautiful interior, with great views across the bay. Our waiter, Socrates, provided excellent service throughout the evening.a highlight of our visit to Monterey.

Wonderful meal. Service was fantastic. Prawn cocktail was a bit on the smaller size but the presentation and flavor was fabulous. Filet was perfect (med-rare) and the off menu special was Sea Bass which was cooked and flavored to perfection. It got a bit busy towards the end our meal but I'm seriously nit picking here. Can't wait to go back.

We went for my birthday. The view was gorgeous, food was amazing and the cocktails were perfect. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive

Everything about the C restaurant was amazing for both breakfast & Dinner. Whenever we are in Monterey we love staying at the Intercontinental. The ease, the excellence in service, and the abundance of amazing dishes make the C a A+. If you want to escape the craziness of the aquarium for lunch the C is the place to be.
The cost is nearly the same but you can easily be seated. Where as lunch at the aquarium you are circling like buzzards to nab a table.

The staff make this place a top tier experience. My partner and I actively come back to Monterey to visit this restaurant and hotel. Jerry made it special for us and we will absolutely be back due to the service as well as the quality of the food

Had breakfast at the restaurant. Live music and great view of Monterey Bay. Wait staff was attentive and food was good. Originally I was a little hesitant about the place being too foo-foo, glad to see my fears were not justified. I ordered Ham and Eggs, what I got was what I was expecting.a hearty breakfast.
(I was worried about getting dollops of egg foam, resting on a slice of potato and surrounded by ham puree.)

Later that evening I was desperate for a cup of regular coffee. Not expresso or latte, just a regular cup of hot black coffee. The bar was able to come to my rescue with a cup of coffee I could take back upstairs. Really appreciated not having to run out to get a coffee.
