Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Pacific Grove

The food was excellent and the service was good. The biggest downside was the noise level. We specifically asked for a room in the back and were accommodated. The host then also seated a family with a baby next to us. Having an infant out at night past 7pm was not smart by that family but why seat them next to us. The main dining room is extremely loud making it a shouting match between tables. Very bad acoustically designed restaurant!

Best waitress in the world! Delicious cocktails and we ate our way through the appetizer menu. Everything was very tasty and flavorful. It was a wonderful evening, but you need to be aware of the noise level.

Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.

Appetizers were good. Tea was ok. Meals were good, flavorful, presentation was good. Waiter should should explain a little more about the specials if someone says it's their first time there and it's their bday.
