We're visiting from Southern California and we were looking for a good breakfast and coffee spot,…read moreand this place was definitely it! We had the bacon egg and cheese croissant which was amazing! We also got two cold brews one with pistachio cold foam and one with Irish cream, both delicious! The owner was also super sweet , 10/10 will definitely come back when we're in the area.

I had a wonderful first experience at Cafe Mia recently!…read more My husband and I were visiting Monterey/Marina for the weekend and wanted to grab some coffee and breakfast. We stumbled upon Cafe Mia and were so happy we did! We sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the sun and music while we waited for our drinks and food. The iced chai latte was DELISH. The quiche and apple fritter were pretty good as well. We didn't choose any of the healthy options but there are some! We briefly talked to the owner (I believe) and he was extremely kind and helpful. We will definitely go back if in the area again.

I was a little surprised because the meat was all chopped up, like hash-style, but it was oh-so-delicious! The portion was GENEROUS, and my pregnant belly was satisfied. If you want to try different things on the menu, most things come a la carte, which is nice. My husband got the banana crepe platter, which I liked because it wasn't overly sweet, as well as the biscuit & gravy. And my toddler loved his pancake breakfast. We also had to get the spam musubi lumpia (the special for the day) because how could you not? It was just as amazing as it sounds. Family friendly spot with a good amount of seating and parking. Service was great. We never ran out of water or coffee. Surprisingly, it was pretty empty the morning after 4th of July.

Waitress continued to check on us through out the meal. The kids pancake was as thick as other restaurants short stack. Bacon was cooked crispy (good in our opinion). My fried rice and linguica was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly. Wish the linguica was a bit warmer but it was still good. I chose a biscuit and I'm so glad I did, it was huge, tasted fresh and the butter it comes with??? WOW!!!! It was sooo good. My husband's plate of fried rice with ham, bacon and another meat was massive!!!! He wasn't even hungry until dinner. Will we return? Absolutely!!!

This has been my go to for a while in the Marina area. I hadn't been back for several years, and…read morethey moved within the same shopping complex. Apparently they had just re opened that day. The service was outstanding, and they accommodated us moving tables due to temperature changes and our children making a lot of noise. (We requested the moves and they accommodated us each time). The food was fire, I had the burger medium, it was cooked perfectly to order and had fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion). They were all fresh off the vine and ripe and the garlic fries were served hot with just the right amount of spice. 10/10 for ambience, service, and cuisine. Well Done. Gabe Frutos and Family

Donuts aren't very good and way to light on frosted donuts…read more Bagels pass,but I usually just do butter and cheese on a plain or super seat, but I did do a garlic butter toasted with butter and peanut butter, smooth peanut butter, and it was really good.

Not sure what else to say besides delicious!…read more Neat atmosphere, big open bar with plenty of seating and they have their open fire grill on one side. Service was really good, he was well on top of everything! The food. Got some happy hour wings....as soon as the leg came out and tried them, ordered another for the table. They were so good with a lot of flavor and the sauce that comes with it was also delicious, only wish they put a little side of that with the plate. The burger was fantastic, every bite was packed with flavor meat was juicy, cheese was melty, sauce was perfect. Such a good place to try and highly recommend.

We didn't have a reservation on a Friday night, but were seated immediately without issues. The starter bread and butter were very delicious. I ordered fish and chips, everything was crispy and seasoned well. The portion was also huge. There was a live saxophone player, which created a nice and joyful atmosphere. I would definitely dine here again if I am in the area!

We received a recommendation for Las Cazuelas by the hotel staff for good Mexican food. It was only…read moreabout 5 minutes from our hotel. Decent parking and bustling with locals and tourists. The food was delicious!!! We had the carne asada nachos (huge portion) and grilled chicken quesadilla. They also have a complimentary chips and salsa bar. The avocado salsa was my favorite. I also would like to mention the restaurant was comfortable, casual, clean with ample seating. Prices are reasonable for the area. The staff were friendly and engaging. And the wait for our food was not long. We definitely plan a return visit when we are back in the area.

The brucetta chicken and Philly cheesesteak are my favorites I consistently crave them.

He worked with professionalism and proper service. I can always respect a good father and this was evident here. We ordered a selection of sandwiches. Loved mine. It was the cape cod turkey.

Don't come here if you don't have time to wait. They do tell you there is a wait before they take your order. He told us 45 minutes. It was 60. But we knew that from reading reviews. We planned to walk across the street to Grocery Outlet while we waited anyways. Next time maybe we will call to order. Noticed a lot of people did that. And they had catering orders that could be making wait times longer. It's a tiny place not really for eating there. 2 small tables with 2 chairs each. No restroom.

The family ordered 2 mix plates with 3 items (chicken katsu, chicken wings, roast pork-which is…read moreonly available on Mondays, and the second one with Kalua pork, roast pork, and chicken wings), a bento box with teriyaki beef and Kalua pork, a mini loco moco, kalbi fries, and a spam musubi. I tried most of the food and I had some mixed feelings: the katsu could not stand alone and needed the sauce, the Mac salad was lacking in flavor--maybe a tad too much on the sweet side. The loco moco was also a bit bland for me. The roasted pork was tender and tasty. My daughter liked the spicy kalbi fries-and my son loved the beef. This is a place mainly for take out. Only 2 small tables inside with a couple of larger tables outdoors. Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. Food-4/5 Service-4/5 due to the long wait time from the time in between ordering and the time I actually got the food I would come back again if I was in the area.
