Peter B’s - Monterey (CA)

4 /5 gduartejc: The food quality has improved since the remodel and menu revamp. The shrimp ceviche and crispy cheese curds were delicious, especially accompanied by a craft beer. The pepperoni pizza was average and a little too pricey in my opinion. The family missed the old look since it had more character compared to the new sterile look. The popcorn machine will be missed since it’s the first thing my little ones noticed was absent. Overall, better quality food, good service, but poorly executed decor.

5 /5 Juan Temores: My wife and I finally got to come back after not being here for a few years! Needless to say the place looks great! Angel was our bartender and he was awesome. The deals on their food and drinks continue to stay one step ahead off others in the area. We will always come back to Peter Bs whenever were in town! Until next time Peter Bs!

4 /5 Yerie Han: Love their food and the service was outstanding. So I went back there last Friday after the reopening, their amber ale was chill and amazing. Then, I went back again on Monday and their beer was less chilled... that is why I take one star off for the review. Their nachos was great and totally loved their shrimp ceviche. Well, I am coming back this Friday and we will see the temp for my beer.

2 /5 Sarah Cordial: Located just outside of the Portola Hotel and Spa, and offered both indoor and outdoor dining. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and live music. Our waitress was incredibly nice, but maybe a little too comfortable. She was at our table for longer conversations than we had energy for and if we hadn’t been traveling all day, we might have felt differently about it. She even stayed to watch us try a dish then lingered for more conversation. She later placed a hand on my daughter’s back, which we recognize is a way of communication for some people, but it made my daughter uncomfortable. The restaurant had an extensive list of beers so I ordered a flight of catrina, no maiden, sakura and spice lab 4. Of the 4, I liked Sakura the most and spice lab the least. We ordered their Kobe sliders, clam chowder, California club and shrimp ceviche. The Kobe sliders weren’t spectacular, but they tasted good. Juicy and seasoned. The clam chowder looked and tasted like prepackaged soup. I guess I expected better given the area we were in. The California club was the winning dish. The bread was lightly toasted, but still soft and ingredients tasted fresh. The shrimp ceviche was”wow” and not in a good way. Overall, the dish needed seasoning and heat. The sliced radish tasted as though it was pickled in dish water. One bite and whole dish was ruined. We paid $115.87 with tip which was incredibly reasonable, but don’t think we would make a return visit.

5 /5 Scott Seeley: Not so hidden, but tucked away sports bar, brew pub and family eatery. I guess its part of the Portola Hotel. From the lobby, out the large doors to the north then left right away. Cant miss it if youve gotten this far. Newly remodeled, so less charm, but makes up for it with shiny cleanliness and sparkle which is getting harder to find. Walls of TVs and there was live music when we were there. The space probably wasnt designed for live music, but I know its a draw for others. Front, wait and bar staff were friendly and did an excellent job serving our table. Attentive without hovering. Basic sports bar menu done with a few extras and done better than most similar eateries. We were all satisfied with burgers, sandwiches, pizza and a couple salads which we shared. The crispy n fried items werent too heavy and the food itself was quality cuts and selections. Were not drinkers but the others in the restaurant seemed pleased. Im sure the other reviews will chime in. Well be back. If youre in the area for a few days Id put it on your list when everyone in your group wants something different from each other.
