Service was quick and efficient, good selection of beer on tap. I ordered a personal size pizza that was pretty good. Plenty of meat and toppings, crust had a good flavor as well. Most of my table ordered burgers, and it seems like the common theme was that regardless of your preferred temperature, it was overcooked (cooked well done). Take it for what its worth, could've been the large crowd factor, but as I said, not my personal experience.

I'm very glad I did, because this turned out to be one of the best wine tasting experiences I've had in town. The service was fast, friendly, and informative, with staff who really knew their wines and took the time to walk me through their options. The atmosphere was super relaxed and welcoming, and the clientele felt like a good mix of locals and visitors, which made for great energy all around. The wine itself was very good and simply enjoyable across the board. Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or just looking to try something new, this is the kind of place that makes it easy to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended, and absolutely a spot I'll return to the next time I'm in Monterey.

The flights were great and the explanation as thy pour is great. The cheese plates are also great.read more

We attended the 20th Annual Winemaker's Celebration this year and it was a blast! This event is…read moreput on by Monterey County Vintners & Growers Association and 38 wineries were in attendance. This was a central cost Pinot drinkers dream. You have to go into this event with a plan or you will never be able to hit all the wineries. We focused our pours on primarily Pinot's and still didn't hit all the booths. The people watching at this place was FANTASTIC! That alone was worth the price of admission :-). The ticket includes food and wine. There is a silent auction and you can browse all kinds of lots to pass the time with the wine. Pros: - Lots of fabulous wine! - Yeah to Lugano for serving up a full sized Brat with all the trimmings - I LOVE that place! - The pours were good and if you wanted to revisit, you just had to ask - Price - It was only $35 if you bought tickets in advance and for those of you with NPS, they had an additional $5 off for a $30 ticket! This is all the wine and food, included. - Lots of potties but real sinks outside for washing your hands - Lot of cabbies outside, after the event - they gave out a great little book you could write tasting notes in - They gave you a little loaf of bread with your glass, when you walked in - good idea! Cons: - The lines, EVERYWHERE. You had to wait in long lines for food, longer lines for pours, and a huge line to get in the event. They didn't sign the registration tables very well, so they had to keep coming out to announce other entrances. My advice for next year is to have a separate will-call window. The reason I pay in advance is so I don't have to stand in that huge line with everyone else. Also, better signage for the multiple registration tables would also help. - The parking is a nightmare if you are driving there, so carpool or cab-it. - The space wasn't big enough for how many people showed up. It was so crowded that you were body to body for a great portion of the time. - It was too short. Another hour would have been great! - They ran out of food for some of the vendors about half way in - Some of the vendors were so slow serving the food (Flanagan's - I am talking to you, albeit, the bangers and mash were worth it) Despite the cons, I think many of these things are easily improved and you can work around them so you don't have to fuss with it. Next year, I may just go early and do some shopping before I hit the event. This way I can save some of the hassle. The cons are the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five stars. Also, this place is only "Local Wines," so you won't see any Napa or Sonoma here, like you do with the Monterey Wine Festival.

I came to this Fleet Feet looking for a pair of Mizunos. I had just run the Honolulu marathon and…read moreleft my shoes in Hawaii. I knew the exact pair I was looking for the staff gladly helped me. I was very impressed with the staff knowledge of their products without being pushy. I tried the pair that I wanted on, but they didn't have the color I wanted in my size. They gladly checked the Fleet Feet in Santa Cruz to see if they had the color and sure enough they did! I was able to pay for the shoes the same day and they said that in two days I should hear from them that they had the shoes at the Monterey store. Sure enough, on Saturday I got a call and the shoes had arrived. I was out of town, but the employee assured me they would be waiting for me when I arrived. I picked the shoes up tonight after calling to confirm their close time (Yelp says 6 pm, but I called and they actually close at 7 pm). Since I was able to make it after work (score!-I work in Salinas so the original posted 6 pm close time would have been cutting it too close) I got my shoes tonight and ran 3 miles in them. Needless to say, I am very happy with this stores selection, customer service, non-pushy attitude, attentiveness and flexible hours. I will definitely be back next time I need my running shoes. Thank you!

The space in the museum is quite deceiving--it looks small on the outside and technically isn't super big, but it's densely packed with fun things. There's a lot of pretend play (theater, hospital, ambulance, firetruck, garden/restaurant), some science-y/cause and effect stuff, gross motor stuff, pretty much something for every kid. It's also a smart idea for them to sell a ton of toys at the front, haha. The price is really good (only $10/person for the entire day) and well worth it. The staff are also very nice!
