| - I've been to Monterey Bay once for a business lunch and once for dinner with a large group. Both times were very good--food was good, service excellent, and obviously the views are spectacular. I read the comments about the outdated decor and agree, but I don't find that a major detraction, and really, it's all about the views, anyway.
The crowd on the Friday night I went for dinner included a lot of very well-dressed older men and very pretty younger women, people obviously on their first dates, to couple who looked like they had been married for 60 years. It was pretty good people watching.
I wavered on 3 or 4 stars only because right now I don't go out of my way to visit there--which is what I typically have to do at minimum to give something 4 stars. As I was sitting here writing, though, it occurred to me that I SHOULD be going there more often with out-of-town guests--it is probably the best thing I've seen up on Mt. Washington, though I haven't been to Isabella's yet (and know it always gets pretty good reviews, too). And that is a great way to enjoy one of the most livable cities in the world!
