Salmon special
Alex L.

Went to Carmel this weekend with my wife and daughter, found this nice little restaurant and decided to try it. The outside looks amazing, really homey, the service was great. Everyone was smiling and service was quick and the food came out in a reasonable time. I had the Alfredo, my daughter the salmon special and the wifey spinach artichoke racioli. Food was good, had good taste and passed the salt test, meaning I didn't have to add any :) Definitely recomend if you visit Carmel, good experience.

Side of eggs and side ham
Val M.

We had dinner here the night before, starting with the garlic bread as an appetizer which didn't disappoint. I ordered the French dip, and my husband had the sausage sandwich. The French dip was one of the best I've had, especially because of the au jus--you could taste the authenticity. The same goes for the sausage sandwich. You can just tell many of the dishes are made in-house. Family photos are throughout the restaurant, and it's clear this is a family-owned business. The same people in the photos are the ones behind the counter, working hard and serving the holiday crowd with kindness. The food felt so homestyle and delicious that we came back for breakfast the next morning. We'll definitely be returning the next time we're back in PG.

Cobb Salad
Terry C.

Aliotti's Victorian Corner restaurant has been a staple in the Pacific Grove community for over 40 years. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday in a well-maintained, beautiful Victorian building. The interior is warm and welcoming with plenty of seating for individual diners or groups. There is also a nice patio out in front of the building to enjoy a coffee or meal where one's fur babies are welcome. They have three large, diverse, multiple menus which offer diners to choose from many of Aliotti's specialties and classic selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For lunch, we enjoyed their Dutch Treat sandwich and a Cobb Salad. The Dutch Treat consists of ham & Swiss cheese on a warm French roll. The sandwich was large with a substantial amount of ham. It was served with a fresh green salad and perfectly cooked French fries which were crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside. Everything was delicious. Their Cobb Salad was plentiful with avocado, bacon chunks, hard-boiled eggs, turkey, tomatoes topped with blue cheese sprinkles over a bed of lettuce. I opted for ranch dressing on the side. One could taste how fresh all the ingredients were. Presentation perfect. The staff was extremely warm & friendly and attentive yet not imposing.

Chicken fried steak with eggs

Breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend this place, the food was so fresh and delicious. The sever was really nice greeted us once we came in. Very small town breakfast place, it was nice and quiet since it was early in the morning.

Crab bene spinach omelette; no garnish or love
Todd P.

Super friendly staff and great location. ... back in the day the food and ambiance had a locals only vibe and family owned. Sadly, the food is not bad but not much better than and ihop etc. Crab Benedict and spinach delight omelet did the job but not well enough to return.

What to do with that extra hour when we "fall back", especially when it is a beautiful warm November day? Go out to brunch down at Pacific Grove and enjoy it at a leisurely pace when there are more locals than tourists. The weather was beautiful to enjoy a flavorful corn beef hash with poached eggs and Eggs Florentine Benedict outside under the Victorian facade of the house. The food and service were excellent and so enjoyable, returned just a few months later for the crab cake benedict from their special's menu and a meatball sandwich from their lunch menu under beautiful blue skies once again. Only note is I didn't see a price for the crab cake benedict so was surprised that it was over $30 when the receipt came. But I would definitely return, just maybe not for the crab cake benedicts unless I want a splurge. This spot is definitely worthy of my 1400 review and to take my childhood friend from back East for her favorite meal, brunch, the third time dining indoors. They must be doing something right if I am here 3 times in less than 6 months.

Eggs Benedict with fruit substituted for potatoes.
Anne H.

Visited yesterday and they were absolutely lovely about accommodating our two dogs (one service dog, one not). Ate out on the patio and it was just beautiful! I ordered the eggs beneficial but substituted fresh fruit for the potatoes and look at this fruit presentation! I mean...a work of art, and all of the fruit was perfectly fresh and sweet. My family ordered the same dish with potatoes, and the French Dip sandwich which was seasoned well and not just boiled meat on a bun, a risk you sometimes take with French Dip. Service was impeccable. You can see the care they take in everything. We will be back.

Small stack Victorian French toast
Hannah D.

Food - spectacular. Service - amazing. Orange sauce - delicious. The inside and outside are beautiful and cozy! Honestly you should stop reading this review and just go here!! :) also they offer a 3.5% discount if you use cash to pay. We will def be coming back for many years to come!

Bacon eggs hash browns and sourdough toast
Jennifer D.

In my humble opinion, this is the best breakfast place in Pacific Grove! The spinach quiche is my favorite item along with the hashbrowns. The staff is so nice and helpful and you feel like you're part of the family. There is always a table or two of locals, and you can tell this is a ritual with them from the familiarity and joking with the staff. Don't miss this gem! And did you know that there is also a vacation suite above the restaurant that you can rent? Three bedroom and full kitchen! Lots of street parking, Pro tip: order the sourdough toast and bring a sweater as sometimes it can be cold when the door opens in winter, if you're seated nearby.

Great food with large portions
Mark B.

This is a small family run and owned restaurant. The staff is friendly, service is excellent and they are dog friendly! The food is amazing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owners Mary and Dom are the BEST!!

Eggs Benedict
Joyce P.

Went here for Sunday breakfast. There is a lot of staff and they need it because it gets busy. I had a yummy blood orange mimosa and THE BEST homemade ham quiche I've ever had. I think it was 2 inches thick and so light and fluffy. Sorry about the photo (half-eaten) I just dove in as soon as it was in front of me and forgot the photo.

Sherry W.

We went on a Friday for lunch. We had good service. I ordered the soup and sandwich. I opted for the tuna salad sandwich without bread and the cup of split pea soup. Both were tasty, but a very small Portion for the price! With tip and tax it was over $23 and I was still hungry. My friend had a Reuben sandwich that was tasty and served with a side salad and fries. Her Reuben with a glass of wine cost $47! Easy free street parking is available.

Our meal- Three Cheese Ravioli, Cheese Bread with a House Salad.  Delicious!
Chet D.

After a long day exploring 17 Mile Drive and Highway one along Big Sur we wanted a good meal. We drove into quaint downtown Pacific Grove and past the Victorian Corner Restaurant. It looked inviting, so we checked out the menu - with a good variety of choices at reasonable prices - and decided to go in. We were seated promptly and reviewed the specials, the beverage menu, and the dinner menu. I chose a local red blend wine while my wife had a Paso Robles Chardonnay. The server came back after a few minutes, and we placed our order. I ordered the three cheese ravioli with the homemade marinara sauce. We shared an order of the daily special toasted cheese bread and my wife ordered the house salad. I can say the ravioli was delicious. Likely the best I've ever had. Apparently their homemade raviolis with a blend of three cheeses. The texture was just right and often times I find marinara sauce can either be underwhelming or overpowering. It was perfectly balanced. What's the topping of fresh Parmesan and shredded basil. My wife enjoyed her salad with mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and croutons and on the side, blue cheese dressing. Last but not least the cheese bread had four slices thinly sliced sourdough with a perfect blend of butter and melted cheese. Truly delicious! We enjoyed the meal so much we asked to review the breakfast menu with the likelihood that we'll be back in the morning!

As a British ex-pat living in America, I'm hyper critical of British pubs. There's nothing that…read moregrinds my gears more than a "British" pub serving fries with their "fish n chips." I'm from Reno and we don't have any good British pubs so when going out of town I always look to see if there's a good looking one where we will be going. I saw this place on Yelp and the first thing I noticed was how legit the fish and chips looked. Once I saw that you can get sides of mushy peas or curry sauce, I knew we had to check it out (this is how you would order fish n chips in the UK!) Stopped by on a Friday evening, it was definitely busy but we got lucky and got seated right away. The live band outside was a nice touch. Now I will say, the menu here is fairly small, with only a few British items. But the items they do have are very authentic and I was primarily going for the fish n chips anyway. Great big pieces of cod, batter was beautifully fluffy. The chips are perfectly thick cut. My only very very minor complaint is that I do wish the curry sauce was a little thicker and less spicy, more like a traditional chip shop curry sauce but that's just my preference. I still love that it's even offered! My husband had the BBC (bangers, beans and chips) and he loved it. I tried a bit of his banger and it was really good. Nice thick pork sausage. They had a good looking beer selection, I will have to try some on a future visit when I'm not pregnant! I was really really pleased with my meal here. Please add some bangers and mash though!

My daughter had the marinara pasta with Parmesan and she loved it, finished every bite. It's a good portion too, and it was only $9! In fact, she liked it so much we had to come back our second night so she could have it again. To me, the highlight was the warm bread. It's served with softened butter, and coming in from the chilly outdoors to it was heavenly. I also had their Beach House salad--the candied pecans and the tangy sweet vinaigrette were very good. The second night I tried their Filet Mignon Beef Stroganoff, and it was way too rich for me. I barely ate many and it unsettled my stomach. Should have just stuck with the salad again! Service inconsistent. First night our server was an older woman with a ponytail, didn't see her name. She was super unfriendly. Felt like we were inconveniencing her every time I asked her something. Second night our server was a Latino man, and he was fantastic. So friendly and helpful.

Looking forward to coming back and enjoying their food again next time!

Montrio is a restaurant struggling with the same dilemma everyone wanting to open a fine-dining…read morespot in a touristy area does. The closer you are to ground zero-Fisherman's Wharf in SF or Pikes Market, Seattle-the harder it is to remain profitable. Geographically, the density of Taco Bells and tee shirt shops increases. So, kudos to Montrio for trying to run an up-scale business as close as they are to the Wharf. Unfortunately, they fall well short of the mark. We arrive early and the place was nearly empty. To start with, we ordered the Porcini Pomme Frites ($14) as an appetizer. The fries came out limp and starchy-raw in the center. I sent them back. The replacement or refry of the original batch came back a little past GBD. They pushed the limit on the far side of doneness. And they tasted exactly and precisely like In-And-Out's awful fires. The match was amazing. For reasons known only to the Snyder family, and in spite of endless terrible reviews from food critics, I-A-O refuses to double-cook their fries. So they come out tasteless with an off-putting consistency. Not qualities anyone should try and emulate, IMHO. Now, ostrich and octopus, for example, are famously difficult to cook correctly. But fries are the polar opposite easy to do well. To screw them up twice in a slow kitchen at a $14 price point is inexcusable. I knew we were in for a rocky ride. I ordered the scallops. Yes, you guessed correctly, the kitchen screwed them up big time too. They had a light seer and were stone-cold raw in the center. The creamed corn side was excellent BTW, but not forty nine dollars good. Why didn't I send them back? Well, first, I knew they couldn't cook fries or scallops. Why would their second effort on the second course hold out any promise. Secondly, I refuse to be that guy who sends every course back, even when it should be. At a certain point my philosophy is shut up, learn your lesson, and share an honest review so that other might avoid the sad experience. My wife had the short ribs and enjoyed them. I thought they were dry, which is hard to achieve with fatty short ribs. Her mashed potatoes were okay, though under-seasoned. But if she was happy, so was I.
