Our Story

Blending classic culinary techniques with the bold, adventurous flavors of the California Coast, we’ve created an entirely new approach to casual fine dining. Our menu honors the heritage of coastal cuisine served alongside new, seasonal and locally influenced flavors.

Born from a passion for fresh seafood and the relaxed elegance of the Pacific Coast, Monterey Coastal Cuisine brings elevated dining to Carmel, Indiana. Every dish reflects coastal heritage, seasonal ingredients, and warm hospitality.

Our chefs craft each plate with care, blending coastal traditions with local inspiration. From sustainably sourced seafood to grilled steaks and signature cocktails, the menu celebrates flavor, freshness, and creativity.

More than a place to dine, Monterey is a destination for connection. Whether it’s a business lunch, a night out, or a special celebration, our inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and chef-driven cuisine come together to create memorable moments, one plate at a time.
