Monterey is an elevated steakhouse experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center and the historic St Patrick's Cathedral.

Our first time dining at Monterey. We shared a Caesar salad and had two of the best steaks in my life! We shared a soufflé for dessert to end this wonderful meal.

The food was alright and the waiters were nice but one of the hostess seemed stuck up. Didn’t seem welcoming to us and when we asked to change our tables, she just came back moved our menus and left as if she had a problem with us being there.

Our service and food was excellent. The noise of the piped in music was very loud though. Constant Michael Jackson playing. Our steak was superb However, I wish the server had told us the special side dish that night was $60. A bit much for potatoes even if they were sprinkled with caviar.

Service was mediocre. Had to return my steak because it was cooked in the wrong temperature. Music playlist had no theme and the speaker was directly above our table. Overall it was not a pleasant experience for the amount we paid. Also, the managers were not doing anything and completely ignored the guests.
