It was so good the first time, we had to go back for seconds! Thanks to Sally and Katie for the incredible service. The food was over the top. We can’t wait to go back. The the Chili Puff was so delicious that I just had to purchase Rosine’s Cookbook. The Benedicts were topped with the best hollandise sauce I’ve ever had. Hint: another reason to buy her cookbook! I can see why this restaurant is on the DO NOT MISS list of places to try in Monterey.

Rosine’s. Wow. Another treasure along Alvarado Street.
Six of us gathered there to celebrate a work milestone — the kind of dinner where you want energy, warmth, and food that feels a little celebratory. One member of our group gave us a brief history lesson beforehand, noting that Rosine’s has been a mainstay of Alvarado Street for years. After one evening there, I understand exactly why.
This is a busy place. Reservations are strongly recommended. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance: slightly lively but not chaotic. It wasn’t overly loud, yet you could feel the hum of a well-loved restaurant doing steady business. Quaint, friendly — the kind of eatery most people hope to find while strolling downtown Monterey.
My only quasi-complaint? We were seated in a higher-traffic area, which slightly detracted from the overall experience. Not a deal-breaker, just a small note. They offer both indoor and some outdoor seating.
Starters
We began with two orders of Crispy Calamari Strips and Chips (fries). If you’re expecting tentacles, this isn’t that style — these are strips. The dish came paired with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and ketchup. Both platters were completely devoured.
We also ordered Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, and Chips, which was excellent. The tortilla chips were unique — almost a cross between flour and corn tortilla chips. Hard to describe, but memorable. Everyone shared a bottle of wine or ordered individual drinks, and the table felt properly celebratory.
Entrees
The six entrees included:
Three orders of Surf and Turf
Chicken Parmesan
Stuffed Salmon
Guacamole Bacon Burger
The Surf and Turf featured a 10 oz New York steak, three grilled prawns, baked potato (substitutable for mashed or fries at no extra charge), and fresh vegetables. I ordered mine medium with mashed potatoes. Every steak at our table was cooked perfectly to preference — no small feat. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were excellent.
I added a $2 Caesar salad. Flavor-wise, it was very good, though the greens were slightly mushy, which muted the experience a bit. A small note in an otherwise strong showing.
Everyone at the table genuinely enjoyed their meals.
The Coup de Grâce: Dessert
Then came dessert.
After spotting the size of neighboring slices, we wisely decided to order just one serving for the six of us: Cookies and Cream cake made with Oreo cookies.
When I say “slice,” I mean slab. It was massive. Truly one of those “you have to see it to believe it” desserts — and just $10. Even with six people sharing, we didn’t finish it. But it was absolutely delicious.
Rosine’s is well worth visiting. Make reservations, expect a nice atmosphere, and come hungry — especially if dessert is in your future. Service was very good and appropriately attentive without being intrusive.
A true Alvarado Street classic.

Four of us stopped in at Rosine’s for dinner before a concert at the Golden State Theater across the street. We had a 6:30 PM reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival, despite the restaurant being very busy. Our server greeted us promptly and took our order without delay.
We ordered the Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo with Prawns, Crispy Hot Chicken Sandwich, and the California Club. The food arrived quickly and everything was delicious. I had the Crispy Hot Chicken, which came with hot oil and hone; excellent flavor and perfectly prepared.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. We all enjoyed our meals and still had plenty of time to walk over to our concert. A great experience overall.

This is a Monterey County legend! Known for their spectacular desserts, especially their cakes! Everything we’ve ever had for breakfast or lunch has been delicious. Service is good and the coziness and decor (especially at Christmas) is inviting. We look forward to visiting again on our next trip home. Highly recommend! Don’t miss out on dining here at least once if you are visiting Monterey.

This might become one of our go-to places. The great thing about Rosine’s is that they have great food, nice staff, fairly affordable prices compared to other restaurants, & most of all, you feel comfortable being here with young kids. In fact, most of the families eating there had young kids & it didn’t seem to bother anyone.
I did try their minestrone which was amazing, olive garden doesn’t even compare. I also had their calamari steak, which I never had before, & enjoyed it.
We also took a brownie & cookie home. The brownie was good, maybe too rich though. Cookie was great.
Overall the food was really good & the staff very nice. I look forward to coming here again with my family.

We got the dulce de leche latte and a butter cookie latte both hot but you can get them cold. The ministrone soup was mentioned on Diners n Drives for good reason. Its the best I ever had with big chunks of chuck roast beef. We also had the brunch burger and it was good the bacon jam and fried egg set it off. Also got the turkey avocado Benedict and it was so yummy. The hollandaise sauce was very creamy. Will definitely be coming back now that we are locals!

Fantastic place with large menu and excellent selections. Ham steak was huge and pancakes light and fluffy. Also have a huge amount of homemade desserts with friendly staff

Decided to stop in for an early dinner with my wife and had a great dining experience. I reserved a table for dinner through the OpenTable app. After spending the afternoon visiting Carmel by the Sea, we got hungry a bit earlier than expected so I revised my reservation to an earlier time.
Upon arrival to Rosine’s we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. After being seated, we were welcomed by Sarah, our charming and informative server. She took our drink order and gave us time to peruse the menu. My wife decided on a cup of the minestrone soup and lasagna, and I chose a cup of the clam chowder and calamari steak sandwich. My wife is somewhat of a minestrone soup afficionado and she thoroughly enjoyed her soup saying how tasty, flavorful, and chunky it was, claiming it was the best she’s ever had. My clam chowder was equally enjoyable, thick and tasty and full of clams, potatoes, and vegetables.
My wife’s lasagna was artfully presented, surrounded by slices of garlic bread. It was delicious and had the right balance of noodles, cheese, and sauce. My calamari steak sandwich was also delicious, evenly breaded and included a buttery toasted bun, fries, and ketchup and tartar sauce on the side. The portions of our entrees were very generous such that neither of us could finish and had to take the rest to go.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Rosine’s. Sarah was very attentive to our needs, answered all of our questions, and promptly refilled our drinks, all while being gracious and welcoming. We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in town.

We absolutely love the food everytime we come here. My favorite is the loaded potato appetizer. I have been here more than 3 times and have never been disappointed, this is our go to spot for lunch whenever we visit Monterey or Big Sur. Most recently we tried their cream cheese chocolate cake for my brother’s birthday and it was amazing. The waiters were so sweet and came together to sing a birthday song and it made my brother’s day.

The mashed potatoes were BOXED!!! It was not freshly made. I ordered steak and shrimp and it was bleh. Not much flavor. Then to be served with boxed mashed potatoes?!?! Boo. Luckily i ordered potato wedges so at least that was a real potato. The rumchata hot chocolate was THE BEST THING on the table.
There were GNATS all over the place!! Once they started landing on my food, i was done.
The staff were super nice. That’s what gave my review two stars. We tipped her really well just because our waitress was nice and sweet.
I was so disappointed in this place. They need a deep clean and a chef that cooks
