Chanelle S.

I came by looking for a good time out in my visit to this area and I had the most wonderful time. Our bartender , Jesse was absolutely fantastic. His drinks were amazing , his vibes and the way he welcomed each person , probably the sweetest vibe I've caught while I was out here. We were able to connect with other people at the bar and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is so cool as well! Will definetly be back for my next visit !

If you're out in Monterey and wanting to dance, this is literally the only place to go! Great music, interior is pretty, good drinks, meh service! The bouncer in the front is kind of on a power trip, we watched him kick some people out for being "too drunk" when that was really just not the case! Also, we had left a tab open and when we went to close out the bartenders had already did the tip for us, which was a little weird to not have the option to tip what you want to tip. But besides those little details, if you're trying to dance this is the place to go!

They took my card and added on a tip without my consent, nor informed  me about it. They tried to pass it on as their printer is not working

EDIT per Yelp Guidelines: $10 entrance fee and the bartenders here takes 20% after tax from everyone here who buys a drink every time you order. They took my card, ran it and added on a tip without my consent without informing me about it. They tried to wave it through saying their printer wasn't working so they couldn't provide a receipt. I had to ask for mine, because other people with me stated this practice was happening throughout the night, even with cash. I specifically told them I didn't consent to it and they said it was what they always do on the weekend, and they are entitled to it. Bartender blatantly lied to my face. As owner states that, " 'BIG sign on the bar '20% GRATUITY ADDED TO EVERY BILL AFTER 8PM,' " yet the bartenders are unable to point that out when asked, along with the bouncers, who were very transparent and aware of your rules, but they are unaware of the tip policy or any knowledge of any posted sign. It only took 3 visits, one credit card transaction, and other people were there to tell me that they were doing this.

Trent  is Ana amazing Bartender and always helps me find "my drink"...even tho idk what I want, lol. We all

See all

What a great spot for live music!…read more It's comfortable and spacious and has a lot of people-watching potential, which can be a downside because there are a lot of passersby, including screaming kids. But it's an intimate venue that also actually has a lot of space. High top tables near the bar, for a chic city feel and then a couple of sofas near the music. I always try to grab a seat by the stairs, and they staff accomodates me if I need them to help me snag it (because in a wheelchair I can't sit at the high tables and the sofa area is often full). That's great service for you. I came in late Dec. for a favorite local act (check out Mark Banks if you have the chance, soulful yet modern). The bartender told me they don't have coffee and that I'd have to go downstairs. I looked as disappointed as I could, and he offered to go down for me. I left him a big tip for doing that but when I returned a few weeks later for the NYE live music, I went downstairs to grab my own coffee this time. I asked them if I could take it upstairs to the music and they said they serve coffee up there now, they have an espresso machine. I wonder how that transpired. If it's from the employee suggesting improvements, that's amazing. I had a dessert the first time and a cheeseplate the second time. The cheeseplate is a great value. Good service, cozy atmosphere, live local talent = new fave spot. Btw, they have some of the same menu items as Schooners, like the Angry Prawns, etc. So non-drinkers have options here.

I don't know if people still say bomb.com but it's def warranted here…read more It would be a shame to order a burger when in Monterey so I made sure I ordered something from the ocean on the other side of the glass of the seat next to us. I got the Cioppino, wife got the Crab Pasta and the kids got Fish N Chips + Chicken Tenders. I was very surprised to see a generous amount of crab in my soup. At some places, you get a claw and check that box off but not here. In addition to the real crab, there was a few giant shrimp, mussels, clams, fish, and calamari. Man...everything was very fresh and delicious. I would even have to probably say the best I've ever had! The soup was seasoned to perfection and not too tart. My wife's crab pasta was also very good! I shared mine with her and we swapped for a bit just to sample other dishes here. The kids plates were also high quality as expected from this nice restaurant inside the Monterey Plaza Hotel. To make my bday weekend even better I was able to score a spot right in front of the hotel which isn't easy since it was a non-raining Saturday. This is definitely a "come back and eat" place the next time we're in Monterey.

I had a mediocre breakfast experience. Although the service…read morefrom our waitress was satisfactory, I was disappointed with the seating arrangements. I specifically requested a table outside with a waterfront view, but was informed that none were available. After offering to wait, I was told that the lunch service was about to commence, and I acquiesced. Shortly thereafter, the host presented me with an indoor table, claiming that I would still have a view of the ocean through the window. Unfortunately, the view was obstructed by other diners, and I could barely see the ocean. As tables became available, I requested to be seated at one of them, but was denied due to the "lunch service". It was perplexing to see other patrons being seated at those same tables. Given the subpar experience, I opted not to leave a gratuity and because they do not accept cash.

When we…read morechecked in Thursday evening, and were greeted us warmly and was incredibly helpful in recommending local restaurants and activities, which we truly appreciated. However, there was some miscommunication during check-in at both the hotel and the restaurant. We were told that our stay included complimentary breakfast. Although we had initially planned to explore local spots, we decided to take advantage of the breakfast at the hotel instead. On Friday, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, believing it was included, and then spent the day exploring beautiful Carmel and Monterey. On the day of checkout, we returned for breakfast and were surprised when our server, Rudy, informed us that our stay did not include complimentary breakfast. We explained that we had been told otherwise at check-in. Rudy was very kind and even went to the front desk on our behalf to clarify, as we were concerned about an unexpected $75 charge. Unfortunately, he confirmed that breakfast was not included, which left us confused. We decided to speak with the manager , Jessica to share our experience so she would be aware of the situation. She was incredibly understanding and, to our surprise, generously offered to take care of both Friday's breakfast and the breakfast that morning. This was completely unexpected and we just wanted to make sure we didn't get charged the $75 and we simply wanted to bring the issue to her attention to help prevent it from happening to others. We were truly impressed by her professionalism, kindness and understanding. Along with the excellent service from Rudy, this turned into an overall great experience at Sea Root. Thank you, we will be back soon!

Our waiter was very good in energy and attentive. We ordered the greek salad to start and tomato soup and shared main the shrimp linguine. I really liked how fresh the salad was and the soup was nice and warm and went well with the grilled cheese it came with. The shrimp linguinie was a pass for me, the noodles were too well done as in kind of point of sogginess. I like al dente. The flavor was okay not too overpowering, liked the tomatoes and shrimps. Got the spicy mango margarita and old fashioned. Overall had a pleasant evening and moved to the piano bar after. Would recommend to check out for at least one meal while staying at resort. We also had breakfast buffet in the morning and like another reviewer said the diy juice bar was to die for!! And of course the rest of the things like egg, sausage, oatmeal, etc r there. U can also order a poached or fried egg thru the waiter. Breakfast was $84+ with tip so a bit on the pricey side but good for the experience. Overall enjoyed our experience and stay.

It was beautiful inside and out, the service was exceptional, with all staff members being not just polite, but eager to help, especially since we had never been here before.

We are also not usually the type to use the hotel's extra amenities, but given the special occasion, my husband wanted to book a couples spa treatment for us. We called a few times to ask questions about the spa and other things, like Schooner's reservations and the cafe hours, and each time, whoever answered the phone was incredibly helpful. Speaking of the spa, the woman who guided us through that level of the hotel and showed us all the offerings, explained the process, and who was just so pleasant and sweet, was a Ms. Norma. She was a highlight because though every member of staff was phenomenal, something about her kind, smiling demeanor and dedication to the profession was just fantastic, and our experience with her, though brief, stuck with us. We had a clean, beautiful room with a balcony and a view. The location, in relation to everything we wanted to do, was perfect.
