Great Venue for a Conference! I recently attended a two-day…read moreconference at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa and had a highly positive experience. The property is well-suited for professional events, offering a seamless balance of work and relaxation. I didn't stay overnight, as the hotel was pretty booked up, but the venue itself was excellent for a daytime event. The amenities throughout the conference areas were decent and well-maintained. The catered food provided during the event was decent as well. I was particularly impressed by how clean the restrooms were kept despite the large crowd, and the parking on-site was easy and completely stress-free. The entire property offers nice views of the surrounding golf course which made for a great backdrop between sessions. One of the highlights was having lunch hosted outside in the beautiful courtyard. While the weather was very nice, it was definitely on the cooler side--which is typical and expected for Monterey! Overall, it is a fantastic venue for a corporate event, and the staff did a wonderful job keeping everything organized.

The room and resort were really nice. The bed is another story. It was probably the worst bed I…read moreever slept on. It was like laying on the ground. My joints and bones hurt so much. I'm not one who likes a super soft bed but some support would have been nice. Also the soap in the shower was out. Parking is $20 a day but the parking is terrible. Had to drive around a few times to find a spot. We had a room in building G with a balcony overlooking the golf course. It was nice most of the day. In the morning the mow and blow guys would be there, so not very peaceful. The restaurant and bar were good although not much of a selection. The pool and games area was nice for families.thete is a $35 resort fee as well. Probably won't return.

You can tell that workers are upbeat and attentive, having a great time while providing service so the atmosphere was wonderful! The food was also excellent, my wife and I opted to get the wharf wrap and the hubcap cake and split them between us. The wharf wrap was excellent, pico tasted great and the eggs and potatoes were cooked to perfection. But the hubcap cake was absolutely bomb. It's like having a short stack of pancakes, but everything gets the right amount of syrup. Absolutely loved it and would recommend to all

Parking: You can park on the pier or park down the street for an easy walk to the diner.

I am not sure they care how you want the meat cooked, but it was delicious. My daughter loved her blackened chicken with lovely fresh sliced avocado. My youngest ordered breakfast, just the way she wanted it - just two sausages and two eggs. The server did not make a big deal or make her order as-is off the kids menu. We were absolutely blown away by the coconut cake. It was light, airy, and so tasty. The chocolate cake was less special, but we were anxious to get the last piece. It was great, but there are a lot of good chocolate cakes out there. This is my new favorite restaurant in Monterey!

If you have never had a buckwheat crepe, give it a try here! Everything is made fresh, and prices are very reasonable - particularly compared to other restaurants here in Monterey. Very pleasant outdoor seating - on the pedestrian area next to the Portola Hotel.

Here's the thing about Filipino breakfasts. From the longanisa, to the fried and garlic rice, to…read morehow eggs complement everything--I don't think there's a meal I like more than their breakfasts. And of course they're the ones that made me love Tocino so much and pushed it to the one breakfast meat I'd choose above everything else. The Butter House put together an amazing Filipino morning spread. I thought my longanisa was amazingly and perfectly satisfying. I would have that for breakfast any day. I also thought the country potatoes kind of rocked, and I'm usually a hash browns guy. I think the only disappointment was the tiny portion of sourdough toast I got. Usually these kinds of meals get double the amount for the price . Our server was fantastic. He was on the ball and super friendly. He even sounded like he'd get you whatever you needed as quickly and with as much enthusiasm as possible. I think there was only one extended delay for a coffee refill where we were left waiting for more than a few minutes. Otherwise, it was a constant and regular schedule of check-ins. Lastly, the atmosphere of the spot was kind of cool and welcoming. This was a place I feel I could relax in if I was a regular. Especially at the time we arrived, super early in the morning, it still felt inviting, laid-back, and not loud with boisterous customers yet. Overall, this is a welcome spot for some of the better Filipino breakfast chow I've had recently. I'm definitely beelining it here next time I'm nearby.

The burger was also very average, and the caramelized onions were overcooked. For around $25, the burger was definitely not worth it. What made our experience even more disappointing was the service. Our server was a tall, middle-aged woman, and unfortunately, she was not friendly or welcoming toward us at all. We did arrive later in the evening, but we checked the restaurant's hours before coming and placed our order while they were still open. We understand that it may have been close to the end of the night, but we still expected basic friendly service. There wasn't even a smile, and her attitude made us feel unwelcome. Also, the fork that was given to us was visibly dirty, as you can see in the photo. This was unpleasant and definitely something that should have been checked before being given to a customer. Overall, between the average food, the high prices, the unfriendly service, and the dirty utensil, our experience was disappointing.
