I used to live on the N Side and the Monterey Pub was my favorite dining spot/watering hole. I spent so much time there I got to know everyone.
I go back whenever I'm in the neighborhood. This place gets crowded, but I love it anyway. There are cozy booths in the front and a dining room in the back. I hope they never change the decor, its so homey and warm.
the food is good, however I hear they got a new chef and the last time I dined there the food was okay, but not as good as it used to be. I had baked fish and it tasted like it had been microwaved from frozen.
Regardless, I will still be back and I highly recommend this neighborhood gem.
