"My husband I visited from Vancouver, WA. We reserved at 5:30 on Thursday night. When we arrived, cousin Paula greeted us at the door. She has a bubble personality, great hostess! Last time we were in Monterey, 5 years ago we had dinner with My niece, her husband her daughters. We had a great meal. Returning to Jan.2018 the service was excellent with great staff. The food is made daily in the house. The desserts are made daily. La Mia Cucina opens at 5:00 on Wednesday Sunday, but it is quickly filled. Enjoy the Fresh Food with Chef Michael every day."
