Been there done that...The whole experience was ok, not great. If Value = enjoyment/final bill, then it was a bit expensive for my liking, but maybe its because we are eating fish in Pittsburgh. For instance, I would rather go to Tessaro's and cut some steak next time. Monterey Bay is in the Jonanet Plaza in Monreoville, Tessaro's is in the Historical Bloomfield section of town. When = Friday How long to be seated (without resev) = 15 Minutes ... ok How was the bar = ok How was service = ok What did you have = (1) blackened snapper and (2) Salmon with basil Champagne How was the food = (1) blacken method was not real LA style not IHMO, didn't taste really seared to me. But the fish was fresh. (2) Sauce was interesting but had too much of a burnt taste to it. Sides tasted like SYSCO's sides. Coffee and desert was pretty good.
