Monk McQueen's


Food: * * * * 1/2

Service: * * * *


Don't be misled by the tourist mags touting this place a little too eagerly; this really is a good restaurant for seafood. Parking was non-existent (wear shoes you can walk a few blocks in) save for paid lots a few blocks out of the cul-de-sac. Prices were standard for west-coast contemporary fare, and food was delicious, especially the deep-fried oysters served in mini tortilla shells. The view was breath-taking, so ask for a window seat if possible; we didn't do the patio but it would be uber-romantic to do so if weather permitted. Busy place on weekends and probably some evenings during the week, too; make reso's and be prepared to wait a little for your food. Good for romantic dates and small groups doing a dinner party out.
