After reading the Yelp reviews on Monterey Pub I was excited to try an Irish pub with great food. Based on the other reviews of Monterey I thought I would have the rare experience of an Irish pub with great food(yes I am engaging in ethic food profiling but it ok-- I am part Irish). Unfortunately, I experienced an Irish pub with the mediocre fare. To be fair the food isn't bad, but it is typical pub/bar quality food. Not bad if you are going out for drinks at a good pub and are looking for decent food to round out the experience. If you are looking for top notch food (which some reviewers seem to imply) you will be disappointed. However, it is a great little pub in a terrific old style neighborhood and definitely worth the visit so long as you are realistic about your food expectations. Lastly, the beer and drink offerings were diverse and the staff seemed attentive and friendly.
