    Food was delicious. Rock Cod outstanding. Entres arrived too fast as we were barely done with salads. Did feel slightly rushed through the meal even though they were not crowded at all.

    Even though I have watched the duck confit increase in price from $22 to $35 today over the last decade or so, it is still worth it. As is the banana ice cream maple bourbon bread pudding desert.

    Started a little 3 day getaway with the family and the Mrs gave me 3 choices to pick for dinner. Knowing full well why Nura was on the list. We love us some sushi. Nura's ambiance was peaceful and cute. The staff was outstanding. Not once did my water run dry. Not once did I have to wait till they decided to come back by. They were very good at reading the customers. The sushi rolls were on point with taste and presentation. Definitely some of the best sushi we've ever had and we've had a lot over the last almost 20 years together. Here are some pictures of what we had. Highly recommend Nura if you happen to be in the area! Thank you to all the staff for making our first nights dinner top notch. You've set the bar high for all other restaurants in the Monterey area for us.
