Housed in an historic brick firehouse, Montrio turned the Monterey Peninsula dining scene on its head when it opened in 1995. But the restaurant needs an update of its dated decor (in particular, those puffy white fabric ceiling… Read Full Editorial

Fine Dining? by erneststranger via Citysearch on 9/24/2007
5pm and the place was empty; we informed the hostess we needed to be out by 6pm. She sat us at a nice table which rocked like a horse and, after trying to shim it , we moved to the next table over. The buss person immediately showed up and…
Great for everyone! by chefcho008 via Citysearch on 2/26/2006
My husband and I love this place. It's hard to get sick of this food (we're regulars). The restaurant constantly has a "buzz" to it, the food is consistently great, and the service is fast, knowledgeable and friendly. Whenever I have…

Why dine elsewhere? by warrenthek via Citysearch on 12/12/2002
My favorite in Monterey. Great food, service almost at the level of San Francisco (where they really know how to train waitstaff), unique ambience. Established over 5 years ago, and getting better each month.
High Powered Dining!!! by TheDiner via Citysearch on 6/2/2002
One of the high powered restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula. One of the jewels of Tony Tollner's "Downtown Dining". Originally Tony partnered with nationally renown chef Brian Witmer in this effort. But since Brian's departure a couple…
