Excellent food, generous portions, and beautiful views. We had a fantastic meal at Lalla Grill in Monterey.
We ordered the blackened mahi-mahi, clam chowder, fish and chips, fish tacos, crab cakes, and ahi poke. Everything was extremely fresh and very well prepared. The flavors were on point, and the portion sizes were surprisingly large—definitely great value for the quality of food.
The staff was kind, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. The ambience is warm and relaxed, and the ocean views really elevate the experience, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or dinner.
Overall, a wonderful dining experience with consistently good food, generous portions, and a great setting. We’d absolutely come back.

Lalla Grill in Monterey was an experience! Every seat in the restaurant has a stunning view of the bay. As the sun sets and the lights dim, the whole place just turns into a vibe. The atmosphere and ambiance are on point.
Cocktails were solid, the Cadillac margarita hit just right. Do not skip the seafood nachos appetizer. Shrimp , lobster , squid , house-made tortilla chips… straight fuego .
For the main course, I had the 8oz filet mignon cooked medium-rare, and it came out perfect. My wife had the New York steak with bacon-wrapped prawns, absolute treat. Everything we ordered delivered.
Highly recommend! Don’t skip out if you’re in Monterey.

Honestly, we’ve been here so many times and this was the first where the food and experience wasnt great and left us super confused as we’ve been to all Lala’s and know the consistency which is what brings us back.
It was a super nice evening so we sat outdoors plus I had my little pups with us. Waitress was nice her name I believe was Genevieve If im not mistaken. Super friendly at first. We ordered drinks and appetizers. The appetizers took so long I was a bit surprised at the wait times. My friend ordered drip coffee, Waitress assumed iced which we never said. Waters came out then finally my espresso martini. According to the description there was supposed to be sugar on the rim. But this is just the beginning of how things showed up inconsistently. We ordered the calamari appetizers because of those delicious chili flakes. Perfectly breaded previously. I mentioned this to the waitress and she explained that alot of people have mentioned thats too spicy so they changed the ingredients to include the chilies lightly into the batter. I thought, why in their right mind would they do that when thats a popular item for the Lalas restaurants. But understood that things do change. Not Impressed it was so bland.
Someone came out and said you guys need anything else, left me confused maybe they thou6gh we were finishing up but in reality we had just barely finished our appetizers. Hadn’t even put in our dinner order
Waitress comes back to get our order and I had asked id they could make it without the calamari and if they have to then no tentacles. My friend asked for the same but she didnt mind it either way. So Waitress looked fraseled and said let me check with the kitchen first.
She returns only to tell us the because ita busy and your locals the kitchen cant accommodate today but other wise if it wasnt busy they could have sorry. At this point regardless of asking if we would like to look at an alternative options, the orders were already placed.
When she came back I asked her if that was the case she said yes.. then said wellllllll this would be the only chance to change it. So, of course it looked like we’ve now Inconvenienced her so I said you know, its fine thanks anyway.
Another lasy comes out and asks if we need anything else which confused us again.. truly it seemed as though she also thought we were finished. I told her ma’am were actually still waiting for our dinner. I did ask her to out in another order of the espresso MartinI because honestly I was not sure how long we would wait.
Food comes out, looks delicious. Tasted it but it was too lemony. Like my friend said it tasted like old coconut milk. Risotto was super watery. Not only they removed all calamari from both risotto which we did not ask for, but the taste was off.
She came back to check and my friend expressed she was so unhappy. The Waitress said ok let me call a manager. Over 30 minutes passes and she shows up with our bill, drops it at the table and leaves. So we continued to wait.
Another staff member came out and we asked him to call the manager because clearly there was some confusion. Our Waitress didnt even take anything of the bill or offer q complimentary dessert for the inconvenience.
Long story short she made us feel that because we were locals we were less prioritized. The manager came out, apologized, recognized us because we do come often. Confirmed that the recipe for the calamari has not changed and that the local comment is not acceptable and that they will have a talk with the waitress.
He handled it well, removed the foods we were no happy with and kindly handled our concerns as something to really look at regardless of if your a local or not. Service should not depend on such thing. It will be difficult for us to return or recommend this specific Lala as we’ve never experienced such poor service.
Maybe one day we may return but for now, the del monte shopping center one has been consistent since day one.
Lastly, we got sick.
Thanks to the manager for his understanding. Unfortunately I did not write his name down.

13 of us enjoyed lunch! We were seated with a good water view. I love a good crab Louie and subbed in the raspberry vinaigrette. Very tasty all around! I was offered fresh cracked pepper yay!! The picked crab pieces were quite small but flavorful. My son ordered lobster/shrimp enchiladas with a verde sauce and there was nothing left! My daughter ordered crab cakes. She reported that the CC were delicious but the sauce that the CC rested on was off (and a large quantity). Other members of our party ordered burgers and flatbreads. Everyone enjoyed their meals!!

Crab Louie was disappointing. I ordered no egg and it came with no asparagus and very little butter lettuce and the crab was tasteless. Visually unappealing, looked like someone plopped some kind of flaked crab on lettuce with gross avocado slices. Doesn’t come with any bread or crackers. The toddler’s hamburger at the table next to me looked delicious. The view of the bay was so much better than the salad.

We come here for lunch mostly. This feels like a fancy cafe or diner. Large seating area with booths and tables accompanied by a nice heated patio. Dog friendly. Lots of choices on the menu. Not too expensive. They make excellent burgers and chicken breast plates. The nachos are huge, we shared this one. Lots of parking in the Del Monte Center. I recommend to all.

My girlfriend and I chose Lalla Grill for lunch because it was conveniently located under our hotel. It wasn’t too crowded, had a diverse menu, and we got a great window seat. The food and service were excellent! We both thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend it.

Efrain F. was a fantastic server. He was happy to help, and had a positive contagious vibe. The hostess at this day, with short curly hair on 12/22/25 was so sweet as well. Just such a fun environment. The pasta al Limone w/ prawns was perfect .

First, they brought a dirty tea cup with traces of someone’s red lipstick. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take a photo at first because I was so shocked. Then they brought a salad. In the photo, you can see lumps of soil on the leaves. The portions were very small and very expensive. Shrimps were dry and tasteless. I don’t think anyone would be happy to eat from dirty dishes or to eat poorly cooked food with pieces of fresh soil. I paid $120 for myself and my wife. I strongly recommend not coming to this restaurant, unless you are okay with this. Read all negative reviews at first.
Update. It is already the second day since we visited this restaurant, and my wife still doesn’t feel well after that nice dinner from dirty dishes.

The waitress was not nice, he was like busy and not willing to give suggestions, the beverages were very late
And the tip was forced to pay, on my behalf I was not expecting to give any , but the food was ok.
It is expensive though
