Monterey Coastal Cuisine

We came here for my husbands birthday and it did not disappoint! The service was incredible, the plating was beautiful, and every tasted superb. We enjoyed clam chowder, seafood risotto, and the Carolina sushi roll, along with an Apple-Rol spritz (aperol with apple cider). Another reviewer shared that this is one of only a couple of restaurants that has its seafood flown in specifically to Indy as opposed to Chicago, and it certainly tasted fresh and high quality. The chowder was a great portion with plenty of clam and the same could be said for the risotto. The sushi was a good portion and great flavor. The vibe of the restaurant is certainly upscale but not in a way that makes you feel out of place. We felt comfortable in jeans and the servers do a great job of making you feel welcome and at home. Parking for the restaurant is easily accessible from the Sophia garage, although you may luck into closer street parking.

We had dinner here as a family around Christmas time. It was a great set up to go here and then pop over to the Christkindl Market afterward for dessert.I got the miso butter seabass- it was very good, but not Great. I also shared the Lone Cypress roll with my wife, which was very good!I had a glass of sake that was OK. I'm not knowledgeable about sake enough to know what to order so sometimes it's hit or miss. This one missed.Service was great and ambiance was lively.Ultimately, Monterey is a solid spot, but not worth the price point in my opinion.

I few months ago I posted a "meh" review for Monterey Coastal. The GM reached out to me and inquired about my experience. I have to say WOW. I was so very appreciative and impressed that she took the time to talk to me, listen to me, and even let me know about some things I did not know (e.g., they have a sommelier I can talk to about wine!). So, we decided to go back and give it another try and we had a fabulous experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious--I wanted to try dessert but we were too full, lol. All in all, it was a much better experience. Enough that we will 100% be back!Restaurant owners should take note: you just don't see this level of service very much anymore, and to me it made a difference. It was the GM's personal attention that made me want to go back. And I'm glad we did! :-)

Met some girlfriends here for dinner and it was so cute! Loved the espresso martinis and the coconut shrimp. Our waitress was super friendly and quick! You can dress either casual or dress up if you wish, super cute restaurant

Amazing dinner and cocktails! We went with another couple from out of town. I had the chef's "Take A Chance" sushi roll, my wife had the halibut fish tacos and our friends had fish & chips and katsu chicken sandwich. Everyone loved their choices and would definitely reorder again! Also the wedge salad's homemade blue cheese dressing and the whipped goat cheese beet salad was a great starter (not to mention the Lychee martini and amazing wine list!). We'll be back!

The food and service at Monterrey are impeccable. We came for the first time and were blown away. It's a very busy spot so reservations are a must.The salmon was excellent. The sushi was amazing. My daughter loved her tenders served in a bento box.Excellent all around

Once in a while I will find a restaurant that can prepare a steak perfectly and this is that place. The food is not rushed so do not expect to sit down and recieve your meal in 20 minutes unless you want poorly prepped food. The meat is slow cooked to a tenderness that is unbelievable and every bite makes your mouth water craving the next piece. The Asparagus and mashed potatoes fit perfectly with the steak. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service was perfect and I was never left without a beverage refill. I highly recommend this restaurant and it needs a 10 out of 10.

Shoutout to our waiter Taylor! He was so amazing. Friendly funny and informative. He was also super patient. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect for my friend's 30th birthday. Everybody was greeting us and checking in on our party it was such a good experience. The food was good. I do think it was slightly overpriced but the quality and taste was up there with the cost. I was disappointed that's the ramen noodles were served cold but they had a great flavor. The dessert portions were HUGE. I will be back.

The waitress said that they are one of the only restaurants in Indianapolis to have their seafood flown directly to Indy on dry ice. (Most of the restaurants go through Chicago apparently?!) So you are getting some of the freshest seafood around. We tried both the sea bass dishes. There was one with a honey miso glaze and the other with butter. The honey miso was the taste winner, totally decadent with the crab meat risotto. The glaze was sweet from the honey and a little savory with the miso. The pea puree was great, and the green beans were crispy and yummy as well.The carrot cake was gigantic and def enough to share. The place was a bit dark, and loud. I saw a lot of ppl on dates, bday celebrations and business dinners. Cozy booths for couples and bigger tables for groups. They also have a big room in the front with a door and tv.

Our servers name is Twyla she's very knowledgeable, friendly and overall great server. The ambience is very nice and subtle, romantic, great music and not real noisy and over crowded. Food choices great you can't go wrong here. seafood choices, beef, choices, pork choices, and vegan choices. If that's what you want.I suggest you check it out.
