Located inside the Hyatt Regency Monterey property! We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant during our stay. Traveling with our dog, pet friendly spaces are incredibly appreciated, and we were able to enjoy both meals outdoors on a fine June day! We had breakfast out in the big tables while our pup settled next to us - we had steak and eggs, chia fruit, a side of bacon and a side of boiled eggs (for the pup). For dinner, we dined by the fire pit and had the steak and bolognese pasta! So happy we got a great spot by the fire pit and we were able to roast marshmallows after. Both meals left us feeling fulfilled and happy. Service at the host table was wonderful - we're always grateful for outdoor options when traveling with our dog. read more

Love this place. We came here to celebrate our anniversary. This is located in the Hyatt main lobby. The restaurant is very inviting and has a fully stocked bar. Service was great. I loved how often our server came to check in on us. He made sure our drinks were topped off. The food was really good for the price. I was actually really amazed by the Brussels sprouts. It had thin slices of pear and it really balanced out the flavor. The rib-eye was also good. I like the little spice coming from the chimichurri sauce. read more

Had a wonderful dinner first night of our stay at Hyatt resort. We luckily snagged a reservation online before heading on our drive and thankfully my intuition was right as it was booked out, rooms and restart ant was only taking reservations. 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. read more

So there are a few things that were great at Sea Root: 1. Location. If you're staying at the Hyatt or golfing there, it is super convenient. The dining room is pleasant, with a good ambiance that is welcoming and intimate enough without being dark and moody. It works for a date, a solo diner, or a meal with the family. 2. Service. Our waiter was great. He asked insightful questions, gave us good options, and made sure that the pacing of the meal was on point and not rushed. But then, the problem; The food. At the price points we were looking at, it just... wasn't great? The shrimp linguine, for example (and I'd extend this to the scampi app). It was overly basic, too much butter and not much else. The flavor wasn't there. Hit it with some citrus or acidity, add a little red pepper, hell - throw a caper in! But no. It was... butter. Enough butter to limit your plans for later in the evening without tickling your tastebuds. Just disappointing. And this was the case for most dishes. "How is it?" "Uh... adequate? I guess?" That's not a great endorsement. The place has a lot of potential to be great, but the dishes aren't exciting, or even really well executed. Time to reevaluate the menu - or the chef. read more

Had breakfast here today and unfortunately the service was so slow. Food came out 20 minutes after ordering. When the order did come there were items that were missed. My wife asked for avocado in her omelette and there was none and a side of bacon my sister order we had to ask multiple times to receive. Food was good but service lackluster. read more

What started off as a bit of a doozy turned into a very unexpected and pleasant surprise. When we checked 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! read more

Ambiance and service were good. Minus the food I had. I was so excited to have the sea bass when I ordered it, I got something that tasted like over cooked tuna. Sensed and dry. Don't recommended sea bass. My husband ordered the Mary's chicken breast and it was dry and had no salt/flavor. The dish was not big but we didn't finish it. Server was kindly enough to get the sea bass meal removed. read more

We love staying at the Hyatt Regency in Monterrey and dining at their restaurant, Sea Root. The breakfast buffet is amazing, complete with a DIY juice bar of vegetables, fruits and roots. We came here for Thanksgiving long weekend and did the $90 dinner buffet option, which came with salads, sides, a premium charcuterie, carved ham, turkey, prime rib and the gravies. You can finish up with a dessert tower of macarons, cupcakes, tarts and pies. read more

Very good breakfast food. Very quick service. Plenty of seating options and fun atmosphere. Would recommend this place for a good brunch option even if you're not staying at the hotel. I think the buffet is a little over priced, but the menu options are correctly priced and taste very good. We stayed at the hotel for 10 days and got breakfast every morning, the head chef and the manager came out and talked to us every morning to make sure we were okay. They were accommodating to allergies, and overall was very good experience. read more

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency last weekend and had an easy breakfast at Sea Root before our big outing to the aquarium. It was a great casual hotel restaurant, with both buffet and a la carte options. Friendly service and solid food. Sea Root is spacious and open, kind of flowing out of the Hyatt Regency lobby. We walked in on Sunday morning and the place was busy with hotel guests, but not so busy we weren't seated right away. Our server was attentive and super nice to our unwieldy party, grandparents and parents and little ones, arriving and ordering at three different times. The place was very family-friendly, with free buffet access for children under five. They also provided kid's menus and crayons. I skipped the buffet, as I'm not really a breakfast person, but it looked like a decent spread. My kids did well with it, loading up on pancakes and pastries, milk and orange juice. I ordered a frittata from the a la carte menu, with sausage, jalapeño, mushroom, and cheddar. Savory and satisfying, especially with a sprinkle of the Pepper Plant hot sauce available at every table. It came with crispy fried potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and choice of toast. I got sourdough. We had a pleasant time at Sea Root and tried to go back that night, for a drink at the bar. We found the place slammed with attendees of some weird conference, almost all of them men in their 30s, but the bar was no longer serving alcohol after 10:00 on a Sunday. I don't know that I'd seek out Sea Root if I weren't staying at the Hyatt Regency, but it was a more than adequate hotel restaurant, convenient and welcoming with good breakfast food. Hit the buffet, get a frittata, fuel up and go about your day. read more

Surprisingly good food! I was here for work and the company booked rooms at the hyatt. Sea Root is the only real restaurant on the Hyatt Regancy property, so it was either eat here or drive offsite to find somthing to eat. I went in with low expectations, since hotel food is usually not very good. Sea Root is an exception. Good portion, fresh, good quality ingredients. I went with seasonal green salad with a steak as the protein. The steak was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and probably about 4 or 5 oz. The price was on the higher side... I think I paid about 50 bucks for the dinner salad. The restaurant has nice, modern decor and was busy due to the golf course. The service was still prompt and friendly. Overall, this place changed my mind about hotel restaurants. read more

Sea Root - Menu as of 10/23/24 - Mediterranean Near Me - Monterey, California

This is a review for the bar area at the Sea Root. The ambience is bright an airy. They opened the restaurant portion so it's all just one big room now. On sunny days, sit outside by the firepits and enjoy a cocktail while watching the golfers ... Expect a lot of people watching. It's a dog-friendly lounge and since it's a hotel, children are here and sometimes loud. We were here on a Saturday evening to catch the live music. (Our friend is the vocalist). They don't do table service. You order at the bar and they bring your food and drinks out to you. That can be either good or bad. However, keep in mind, they have a full-service restaurant with the same menu. Our overall impression is we would come back, especially since we like live music. My companion was my mom. I wanted to give her a fun activity for Easter weekend. We wanted something a little special. So my mom had the steak and I had the Sea Bass. We weren't disappointed. My Sea Bass was flaky and paired well with the tomato sauce. The accompanying polenta was a little too salty but complemented the tomato sauce. The asparagus was fork tender and the finishing touch was a char grilled yellow pepper. My mom enjoyed her steak with pesto sauce and cauliflower-potato mash. She appreciated the generous pour of her Red Blend wine. I'd return with my mom and it would make a good spot for a girls night out, especially if you can snag a spot by the outdoor firepits. It's good for crowds because since it's an orde-at-the-bar type of place, people can order as much or as little as they want. Drawbacks: They leave the door wide open to the patio which makes it drafty so we sat near the indoor fireplace but couldn't see the musicians. Also, it would be good to have a real bar menu with more bar-type of appetizers and casual, shareable bites. But those are minor drawbacks. We're big on people watching, firepits, live music and generously pored wine glasses and this covers all of the above. Pizza and charcuterie are available for a quick stop in. Sit at the circular bar overlooking the whole room and have a glass of wine and let the traffice die down. Don't be misled by my review. If you want table service, they have a full-service restaurant area. read more

Good drinks but that more the bar. Mixed bag for food in the restaurant. Nice ambiance and views to golf course. Service good overall with some exceptions. Starting with breakfast. The buffet when available was nice with a fresh fruit juice bar, pastries, fruit, hot food all for a reasonable price ($28). I've also been pleased with the avocado toast and steak eggs before. I'd definitely suggest it as a start of the day. However, our dinner selections were more limited. The fig toast that someone raved about was dry toast with prosciutto arugula and fig coulis-esque spread on the plate. Not much flavor for a seemingly well described plate. The guy beside us complained about his pasta dish and previous night meal, so we opted to figure some else out. Sorry but our waiter seemed new and didn't exude any confidence on how he handled their complaints. For drinks, I liked my Old Fashioned but my wife's Mule left much to be desired. I'd hope for a bit more consistency. YMMV. read more

Sea Root - FIG TOAST - Mediterranean Near Me - Monterey, California

We were staying at the Hyatt and came here for breakfast during our stay. It's a bright airy space. On a Sunday, it gets a little loud -- not overwhelming, just not a chill, resort vibe. They offered a Buffett (seems like a Sunday thing?) as well as a la carte. Buffett was $28 for adults and $12 for kids. Great offering of eggs, meats, fruits, smoked salmon. The server can bring you fried eggs when you ask for it. Overall, good breakfast and Buffett made it easy for everyone to get what they like! read more

As a Hyatt globalist, breakfast is included during our stays and we ate at this restaurant twice during our stay! We had steak and eggs and breakfast burrito which were delicious. They also have continental breakfast as an option if you wanted a buffet. Kids under 5 are also free. Great options like cereal, fruits, hot food - eggs, sausage, waffles, you can also make fresh juice! Super fun! great service too! read more

We stayed at this Hyatt when visiting Monterey . They serve using higher grade products in their ingredients for each dish. Everything not only looks fresh but also tasted fresh too. For breakfast buffet (4 stars) , we were impressed by the make it yourself juice bar. Q there are a variety of fruits and veggies to choose from ( self serve) that one throws into the juicer .grapes, berries, celery, melons, carrots, kale, etc..., its very nice! From the breakfast menu, I chose their steak and eggs (5 stars). You get to choose how you like your eggs done. I loved their poached eggs done medium as requested. My hubby had the Strawberry French toast (3 1/2 stars) with fresh fruits on top. Service: 3 1/2 stars Ambiance: 4 stars read more

Love the Sea Root. My wife and I visit Monterey each year for the CaliforniaRoots music festival. We are World of Hyatt members and we love to stay at the Hyatt of Monterey which is walking distance from the fairgrounds (festival) One big reason we choose this hotel is due to the Sea Root. They have great tasting breakfast, you can choose from buffet or off their menu. Both options are a great choice. Also a lot of the musical acts stay at this hotel or will come eat breakfast here so you may be dinning with the stars =) The service is phenomenal both during dinner and breakfast. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Both my wife and I cant wait to be back next year. read more

Service was bad but I left a tip anyway thinking maybe server was just having an off day. Paid for the bill and went on with my day. The next thing I know I check my bank account and the server left herself a 20% tip! I definitely did not leave a 20% tip I wanted to leave 0% tip!! They are literally stealing money and hoping you won't notice. When I called I spoke with Jason he said he was the manager and he was rude and acted like it wasn't a big deal, he would just "refund me the difference" that's not even the point anymore it's the fact that someone felt comfortable enough to do this and has probably done it to countless other people too so if you have been here in the past or plan on coming either bring cash or keep your receipt to double check. As you can see by the pictures I threw it out and had to go searching for it to confirm I wasn't losing my mind. read more

Excellent dining experience! This restaurant has an open dining set up, located off the lobby of the Hayatt Regency Hotel. With an open kitchen-you're able to see the chefs at work... Very bright, lots of windows with views of the golf course and patios.... Very friendly and attentive service too! Everything we ordered was fantastic! The house Cabernet, from a local vineyard was amazing; We tried the calamari appetizer, cooked perfectly & served with a couple different tasty dipping sauces-a Diablo marinara sauce and a lemony aioli. We also tried the fig toast appetizer, yummy and creative! A light sweet toast with prosciutto, feta cheese, arugula & fig... SO TASTY! Our entrees were also very good!! My husband ordered the NY Steak served with an incredible Chimichurri sauce, perfectly roasted asparagus & fingerling potatoes. While the steak was tasty and cooked medium as requested, the meat was not as tender as it should've been and a bit overpriced at $44. My roasted beet root risotto was so creative and flavorful. With the choice to add chicken, ahi tuna or shrimp, I chose the shrimp which was very good but seriously overpriced at an additional $12 for 3 shrimps that were pretty small. The location of this restaurant truly is Surprisingly beautiful, practically in the lobby of the hotel, the one area that seems to have been updated! Unlike the other buildings (room accommodations) very old buildings, outdated & smelly. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience and I definitely recommend trying this restaurant! read more

During the weekend, we dined at Sea Root restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. The restaurant's layout is aesthetically pleasing and conveniently located just a two-minute walk from our accommodation. We particularly enjoyed the salad, salmon, and chicken, all of which were prepared to a high standard. The service was impeccable, and the pricing was found to be very reasonable. For breakfast, there was an option between a buffet and ordering from the menu. We opted for avocado toast and oatmeal, both of which were satisfactory. read more

3.5 stars. Overall food quality is great, but flavor profile was a little lackluster or bland for some dishes. Also, the food is overpriced for what it is. I've definitely had similar or better food for less cost. We mostly only came here for dinner out of convenience since we were staying at the hotel. Sea Root is located inside the Hyatt Regency hotel and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. They're only open for breakfast and dinner. Dinner service starts at 5PM and on busier nights, I'd recommend making a reservation. Here's what we ordered: -Shrimp scampi: Large plump shrimp, but sauce was bland. -Spiced mussels: I was really glad our server talked us into ordering this, because this was my favorite item of the night. The mussels tasted fresh and the sauce it was cooked in was delightful. -Foccacia: Nice to use to dip in the sauce of our spiced mussels dish. The oil/vinegar it came with was really tasty, since the vinegar was thicker and sweeter. -Sea bass: Cooked well, but bland. I think it needed a bit more salt. The beurre blanc was bland as well. The carrot puree it came with was the best part of the dish. -Bread pudding: Very simple in taste. It sort of tasted like I was just eating bread instead of bread pudding though. I prefer my bread puddings to be more moist and saucy. The very sweet vanilla gelato it came with was what added sweetness to the whole dessert. I wouldn't really recommend going out of your way to eat here, since for the price, I don't think the food execution was impressive enough. Service was friendly though, and the restaurant really is nice to sit in. read more

After drinking my bright red, weak Tito's and cranberry, I received a bill for $26. I asked the bartender if he threw in any bull $emen or rattlesnake antidote to justify the price, and he told me it was $13 for the Tito's and $13 for the cranberry juice. Knowing this was more than the swankiest of Vegas lounges, more than the tallest bars of Dubai, more than the rippie-offiest of nice music venues, this is insulting. $13 for added cranberry juice? This better me some incredible cranberry juice. Like, something that prevents the next ten years of UTIs for this price. Sea root? Nah, see the exit route. Save that $26 per drink for the uber ride to the rooftop bars, waterfront bars, brewing companies, sports bars, and cocktail bars 4-9 minutes away by car. read more

My partner and I dined here for dinner during our stay to celebrate our anniversary. Despite noting this special occasion on our reservation note, neither the hostess nor server acknowledged anything. After being seated it took our server about 10-15 minutes to finally greet us and offer water. For a Hyatt property, I was already fairly disappointed at the level of lackluster service being provided. We got a bottle of Merlot to start and I was a little taken back by the server's presentation. After he'd pour the wine, he'd wipe off the lip of the bottle with his bare hands to prevent any dripping. The industry standard for this is to use a linen or cloth napkin, not your bare hand. Kind of gross in my opinion. For an appetizer we ordered the house made focaccia bread which was a bit dry and not as flavorful as we had hoped but still decent. For entrees we ordered the NY Strip Steak and the Chicken, both were nothing special. The steak especially was painfully under-seasoned. At the end of the meal, our server failed to provide any complimentary dessert or offering for our anniversary which usually is a common occurrence at resort restaurants, especially for resort guests. Overall, I was very underwhelmed by the service and food considering we spent nearly $500 to stay on property for the night, and an extra $200 for dinner. Not worth it by any means. read more

Ok for hotel food, this is pretty great! I actually enjoyed the food. They didn't have a lot of options that are garlic free, but out of the options I had, they were pretty good. I do recommend going if you arrive late in the hotel and don't want to go out to hunt for food. I was very amazed by the shrimp scampi. Otherwise, they are all pretty standard for a good tasting meal. Nothing tasted bad. read more

Ordered just the basic margherita pizza here and was pretty disappointed. If I am being honest, it tasted exactly like a lunchables pizza. Like the ones you would eat as a kid for lunch. Not sure if this is considered "Searoot" however, the food options outside the restaurant were very good. Got the chicken/steak tacos and they were delicious with very heavy portions. Would recommend you order food out there if you are hungry. read more

We are back for another Monterey trip and ate at Sea Root this morning for breakfast. Gerson was our waiter again and he was excellent once more. He said he remembered us, which was impressive, but also kept working with the same friendliness and peppiness that he did before. He was attentive and efficient and helped make the breakfast a success. I also ordered the Greek Flatbread and it was very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised, and I feel that knowing what to order has improved my food experience here. The buffet looked a bit better as well. They had pancakes today and they looked softer and more fresh than the waffles or French toast we saw in the buffet previously. We're going back tomorrow before we leave and look forward to their options then as well! read more

Had dinner and breakfast here. Dinner offered a good selection of items. The oysters appetizer was ok oysters were small and they served it on a bed of wood chips for some reason, Almost ate the wood chips too cuz it was stuck to the bottom and you usually eat holding the shell and slurping it into your mouth. They have focaccia bread not on the menu and definitely a must try. The bread was fluffy and delicious, came with a feta butter cream which was really yummy, coming from someone not a big feta fan. For breakfast they offer buffet with hot selections (bacon, sausages, potatoes, scrambled eggs, pancakes). They also have a cold bar selection with smoke salmon. I would like to mention the self serve fresh juice bar. You select own vegetables and fruits and make your own juices. I really liked that. $27 per person, 5 and under kids are free. read more

Ok, didn't want to leave the hotel and deal with finding parking late at night so we ate here. Expensive food, no flavor, ribeye steak was ordered med well and came med rare with no seasoning smothered in chimchurri and only tasted like chimchurri, chicken was flavorless dry and fries the same. Asparagus was flavorless potatoes were flavorless and undercooked. My husbands roasted chicken was undercooked dry and flavorless. Didn't even eat half of the dinner it was so bad and server and manager didn't seem to care or open conversation to check in why we weren't eating the food. We had to go back to our room and order the Habit Burger. Very disappointing and stressful after a long day with hungry kids. Additionally service was subpar, we stood at reception for over 8 minutes with staff walking right by us ignoring us not even saying a simple "be right with you" , even what appeared to be a manager in a suit!! read more

7/23/23 This was the restaurant inside our hotel. We only had breakfast/brunch here, so that's all the rating is based off of. Also, we found out too late that the breakfast is included in my gf's points package so we only got the "buffet" for our 3yr old, who was free per the waiter. For me and her we got: 1. SR's Breakfast Burrito $18 "scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, kidney beans, rice, jack cheese, served with fire roasted salsa, sour cream, guacamole & breakfast potatoes in a spinach tortilla": It was okay. TONS of eggs, not much else. Kinda dry inside. You MUST add the salsa/sauces otherwise it's too dry. Otherwise not much to say..... oh... right, yeah the potatoes were under cooked, a bit hard. 4/10 2. Greek Breakfast Flatbread $17 "cage-free scrambled eggs, kalamata olive, cherry tomato, red onion, spinach, basil oil, red pepper-feta butter": Let me translate this for you--scrambled eggs on crackers. That's just about it. No melty cheese. No whatever they say.... that you can taste aside from the abundant eggs on the crackers (flatbread??? who you kidding)... 1/10 3. Coffee $4 4. Buffet (free for 3yr old, I think $27 for adults?): Just your very very very standard buffet that most places give for free. Well, except the help-yourself juicer which I guess is kinda cool. They got some fruits and veggies for you to play with. 2/10 So, again, just had breakfast, but it was extremely overpriced and crappy. 1/5 #hotelbreakfast #breakfast #brunch #americanbreakfast #americanbrunch #monterey read more

Beautiful atmosphere and amazing views of the Del Monte Golf Course. The service is attentive and very friendly. The shrimp scampi is one of my favorite items, very rich but delicious. The Red Eye flatbread is another one of my favorites, giving off a little heat from the red peppers. If you're wanting a more casual experience you can sit near their giant fireplace in the lobby or order to go and sit by the fire pits outside. You'll be given amazing service at the bar from Briggs, Robert, Jen, Jerry and Jaime. read more

If you're expecting some sort of amazing restaurant, then you are going to the wrong place. I wouldn't have preferred to eat here, but it was definitely because of how convenient it is. For what it is, the place had good service and standard breakfast! I think if you are staying at the Hyatt with kids, this restaurant will be your best friend here at your stay. I had the Bagel and Lox, and I honestly find it hard to mess up something so simple. The quality of the salmon was good and the presentation of everything bumped up my experience here. My whole table agreed that the food here was pretty standard. No complaints on my end since it was as expected. read more

It is nicely remodeled and very bright with natural light - makes for a great place to have breakfast. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Only suggestion would be to season the food a little more with salt, or put salt and pepper on the tables. read more

It's a hotel restaurant, your food expectations should be very low You are merely there for the convenience and suffer the priceyness Had breakfast and dinner there Their breakfast buffet for $32 is average. They could definitely improve on the eggs and oatmeal (for that price, try serving steel cut oats instead). Steak and eggs was good Service was inconsistent across multiple visits. Sometimes you get a really attentive and get taken care of. Sometimes you kinda gotta nudge them for things and it's very obvious "who" is serving you that time The ingredient quality seems pretty solid so kudos there Dinner was good. Steak was sizable and flatbread/pizza was delicious If I don't plan to drive somewhere to eat, fortunately the food here is good My recommendation to the business, improve on your buffet food and choices read more

The food here isn't great. We arrived late for our hotel check-in and it was convenient for us to eat here. We ordered: Halibut - Lacked flavor, we had to asked for lemon and salt. $42 Flat Iron Steak - It was cooked medium per request but just like our halibut, hardly any flavor. It's a steak, sprinkle some salt&pepper, done. $42 Kid's Spaghetti - The flavor was actually decent unless our son was very hungry but the pasta was undercooked. We sent it back. Our server made excuses stating 'oh that's how it's supposed to be' lol. $7 -Chocolate mousse - Comparable to Bill Cosby's Jello pudding. The glazed nuts were stale. read more

A fairly new ( June 2021)and very nice addition that is an upgraded hotel restaurant experience. I wish I got the name of my waitress who gave me a lot of the specifics as to where produce and fish was sourced and gave excellent recommendations. As a solo diner, even with raging Omicron Covid , I felt comfortable. All staff were masked and gloves with plenty of distance between tables. Artichoke Soup is one of my very favorite things to eat. I was tempted to just order the soup to go, and call it dinner, but decided to stick to small plates menu and get the soup and mussels. I judge all artichoke soup by the Tap Room artichoke soup with it's velvety texture and finished with beautiful sherry. This version benefited from the beautiful grilled artichoke hearts nestled atop the rich bisque. In fact, given the thick texture, it was almost an artichoke stew, resplendent and perfectly seasoned, but some broth to thin it out would have improved it, in my opinion. My mussels were fantastic with gorgeous crunchy grilled bread to soak up broth, a briny broth featuring harissa and flavored with some excellent Marquez lamb sausage, which was strong and a bit gamey on it's own, but gave the tender mussels such a an unexpected depth of flavor. No thank you on the delicious and unusual sounding desserts, including A date, fig and walnut cobbler. This was indeed a decadent delicious dinner. In summary, I was impressed with the ambiance, fresh flavors and superior service. read more
