“Short review:Nice staff, they have VERVE coffee! Chicken & waffles are fire.Longer review:I had one of the best breakfasts ever years ago in Monterey. It was a place that served verve coffee & had these bomb chicken & waffles with country gravy. I always wanted to go back to that place but found out they closed. However I did some digging & found out that that former owner owned THIS restaurant & they also serve Verve coffee (which is the best coffee) & made the same chicken & waffles. We decided to go here & it did not disappoint, it was once again one of the best breakfasts I have ever had.I’m not sure how it makes sense to put together fried chicken, sweet syrup, slightly spicy country gravy & a waffle to make a perfect breakfast but it just works & is I believe a marvellous example of God’s good common Grace.There are many things that will keep me coming back to Monterey, & this place is definitely one of them.Their crab Benedict was also pretty good, & its right next to a gold course & you have a view of the ocean.“

“I walked in the last day of my work trip and wish it was the first.Was greeted immediately after walking in asking if I'd been taken care of yet, then given a table right away.Amy gave me a menu and took my drink order while I figured out what I wanted to eat.Lee approached me next asking if I'd been helped and offered suggestions for food and answered all my questions.I had my drink before I knew what I wanted to eat!Amazing cohesiveness here, I wish I'd found this spot on the first day of my trip.I'll definitely come back to the area and when I do, Monarch is #1 on my list!Parking: Parked in the middle of the street on a busy Friday night.“

“Yes yes yes this place is the spot! Owned by the same family forever, I love that it's literally a local sandwich shop. Usually I get their turkey sandwich but I switched it up and got a meatball sub...let me tell you..SO good! Their macaroni salad is a must buy when you go in. I love the fact they sell Icecream and cookies too! My daughter loves their cinnamon buns.“

“Here to say Ivan from the grill came to the rescue! We are long time locals and enjoy the grill on those Long Beach days, however, today was different. We had been enjoying the beach for just a bit when my daughter face planted into the stairs. We packed it up and before we could get up the stairs, Ivan came down with a bag of ice and a lollipop for her! Grateful for his quick, unprompted response and thankful to have people like that running our local beachside grill! Nothing tops those fries with a soft serve either ‍ -Lindsey C.“

“Our waiter was Rachael and she was outstanding. There was 8 of us and 4 of us were turning 70 so we were pretty rambunctious we'll say. Racheal was so much fun and patient. I shared the lamb chops and the bararta salad with my partner and they were great. The lamb was cooked perfectly. We will for sure come back next time we are down!!! Thank you Beach House & staff..“
