Del Monte Cafe Monterey Reviews
This restaurant is a hidden bed in seaside, California ! My family and I were visiting, and found this place recommended by other google reviewers. The place is small and cozy, with good vibes overall. The servers are very kind and accommodate everything you need. Food comes quickly, and tastes good for decent prices. The pancakes were very fluffy and delicate, and they had good coffee as well. Overall I recommend this place, it’s a very family oriented breakfast joint.
Came in for dinner. Service was great, food was amazing and prices were very reasonable. I had a pastrami melt and Hubby had the New York steak special. Will definitely eat here again soon!
Not many people, but the food was amazing, the staff was very nice, and I love the decor and overall atmosphere of the place. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for amazing food and friendly staff.
The food was delicious and tasty. It was hot and ready. Great customer service and very attentive, everything about the new place is great and I have good vides from it . I had the bacon avocado burger with fries and for drinks I had morosas it was very delicious!!
The food was pretty good and eventhough the place was quite small we got seated quite fast with the party of 7, we left with happy full tummies. We also tried one of their "house sauces" and had to purchase a bottle or for before we left for Sacramento: )
Hidden gem in the middle of dealerships. Great breakfast this morning. We enjoyed Avocado Turkey Benedict, Turkey Avocado omelette and pancakes.
It’s very clean and the service is great, very nice and helpful, the only downside is the meat was very tough, but overall great
Very clean and wonderful cafe. Played Del Monte Golf course and ate outside in the beautiful surroundings prior to my round I got their Smash burger and waffle fries, ate all of it.
Nice dinner. Clean, plenty of room, and relaxed atmosphere. Good coffee and food at a reasonable price. Was a great way to start off the day.

I had a late breakfast here the other day, and it was exactly what I had in mind. The food was absolutely delicious! They ensured that I had everything I needed, and my coffee mug was always full. I’m not a picky person when it comes to interior or exterior design, or even the type of music is playing. I only care about the food and service, and they did great 5/5!
The food was good, it's not a super fancy place, but clean, and the service is outstanding. I came from Santa Rosa for Friday of car week and ate here for breakfast. Was so good I went back for dinner before heading home. Highly recommend.
The food here was very good! My buddy and I were on a trip and it was so good that we ate here two days in a row. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions were big but not too much. The atmosphere is casual but very nice and clean. The staff were friendly albeit a bit forgetful. Our waiter forgot to bring us an extra plate both days… also, the price is a little expensive, but for Northern California it wasn’t egregious. I’d certainly recommend this restaurant and would be excited to come back again.
Had breakfast two days. Excellent diner-style food. Attentive service from young staff

Nothing wrong with the food. Nice service. Well decorated restaurant. Wish more of the plants were real, but it looks good nonetheless.

This is my first time here and I have to say that this was an excellent experience. Great service, friendly crew, and the food was fantastic. If you’re in the area and can’t make up your mind on what to eat this place has what will hit the spot. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

First time visiting this restaurant. Decent food with decent pricing the ultimate breakfast was just your average breakfast cooked well and tasteful. Ambiance and environment is beautiful and would definitely like to give it another shot to give a full review on a food.
So this restaurant is nestled in a Travelodge Inn, it’s hard to see off of the street, even with gps. Coming into the restaurant, it has a cavernous feeling, with a huge waiting area. Coming in during lunch, I was seated right away. They have the usual diner fare. It did have a very local/family-friendly atmosphere. They do have high-chairs for the kiddos and the unisex bathrooms weren’t the cleanest. As for the food, I had the American platter. It was delicious. The country potatoes were seasoned well, and they had that crispy on the outside- soft on the inside thing going on! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the meat was juicy. It felt like the cooks put a lot of effort in the meals they prepare. It does feel a little pricey for what I got though I’d definitely go back. Price: $25 (includes 20% tip)
Back again to try out the new location, everything is about the same as before, a bit more festive looking with the flowers 💐 and distinctive lights. Added a few pics. Nice place for lunch, excellent and quick service, selection was abundant, ok prices, smaller tables yet multiple seating areas, parking was ok.
Good food fast service and friendly staff. You also have the option to be seated outside so you don’t have to leave your pooches in your car.

I had the Avacado and Mushroom scramble with hashbrowns and sourdough toast... I think the chef forgot to put salt.... The other dish is Huevos Rancheros with a side of Italian sausage... The eggs were cooked perfectly, i was told! Service was swift and our food came quickly! We sat outside in their patio area that has 7 tables two of which seat 4

My husband and I had a day off together this week and decided to try this place. The place is big with lots of room. As you walk in the place had an odd smell to it. Food was decent not the best. My husband had the breakfast special and said his French toast was undercooked. I had the omelette and it was okay. Our waiter was nice.

Ordered a turkey avo melt, came without tomato although listed on menu. Asked for it and was given it asap. For the price, sandwich was lacking with one slice of folded deli meat on each half. Was expecting some substance. Flavor was decent. Head down to Ferdi's and get a stacked sandwich for 1/3rd the price.

Very clean restaurant. Respectful staff. But, the food was sadly just not good for the price ($20+ per person). I really wanted to love it. I had a burger, maybe it's just that item that needs improvement. I'm sure the breakfast is good. It also took 45 minutes to get our food for a party of 4. Quite a long wait for a simple dish. Otherwise, the atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful and very comfortable.
Took forever to be served. Once they finally took our drink order it took almost 20 minutes to get one of the drinks. The other drink never came. Ordered our food and that came out quick. But ALL the young men working there walked around slowly, like they didn't know what to do. We asked again for my mimosa and said it was coming, by the time the food came I said never mind. Ordered a coffee and asked for creamer, took forever to get the creamer... they tried to refill my coffee before I even got the creamer... the food wasn't so bad. Service sucked! Unless they get their cramp together I will not return. Would not recommend now. And it wasn't even busy. I'll return in a couple of months and update you.
