I knew the moment that we walked in that I was not going to like the place. There was no maitre 'd and the decor looked similar to the Holiday Inn lounge with the cheezy circular fabric chairs and shabby geometric carpet throughout. We had spent the past 5 days eating our way through San Francisco and Monterey. This was... more

I've had the pleasure of eating at Fresh Cream for a long time... at it's original location... no view... great food... and today where you get both... I've taken family, friends and my kids (they have advanced palettes :-) many times, and never a bad meal or experience. The wine list is very good, the service is measured and my... more

Not just food, it's an experience! Warm fire, knowledgeble staff, impressive wine selection and five star food. more

After calling the restaurant they mentioned that you have to park in the garage (parking is NOT reimbursed and we were... more

We had made a reservation and were given our choice of a window table or a nice quiet table in near the entrance. We chose the window and were seated promptly.

The sauces over power the flavour in each dished I tried. Our server was cold and robotic. The Amuse Bouche at the start was neither... more

Our entrees (rack of lamb and dover sole) were excellent. My appetizer (lobster bisque) was off-tasting and not very good. We both ordered souffle's for dessert and they were a disaster.. My wife's flopped prior to reaching the table (they took it off the bil). Mine was primarily egg whites. Check out the souffle's at the 4 Seasons in NYC... more

The preparation of the food was superb and the view of the Monterey Harbor was tranquil. The service was rushed, to say the least. For a top rated restaurant charging over $40 for an entree, we expected a lot more. If you ever eat here, just make sure that you do NOT order more than 2 courses. We were seated... more
