Meh! Mediocre food and service. I won't be going back. Greek salad did not have traditional Greek salad ingredients, especially the dressing which was not Greek.
Everyone was very nice and helpful
Excellent service, excellent food, and comfortable seating. A great place to dine!
The fish sandwich was tasteless; the roll had no flavor and there was barely any tartar sauce on it. I asked for more tartar sauce and some lemon. Nobody came to my table to ask how the food was, so I had to wait a while before I got a waitress's attention. Very disappointing.

We had to wait nearly 15 minutes before someone acknowledged us, and took our order, and the restaurant had very few people in it, but 6 waitstaff milling around behind the bar, just talking, and ignoring us. I Almost walked out, but then FINALLY the waiter came over.
Excellent & friendly service. Wide variety of menu selections and the food was delicious at a fair price. The restaurant was busy but the noise level was low, a huge plus.

The clam chowder is creamy and one of the best we've ever had. The paella was so plentiful we split it. Smiles all around!

We love going to International Cuisine. The atmosphere is great, food is good and so is the service. The people who run it are super friendly and are always striving hard to make your dining experience a good one. Spot On!!!
Wonderful bread, served warm. Eclectic ambiance. Good service. I would like an expanded menu. Not sure if it rotates or not.
The fish and chips were excellent. Thank you for using a whole fish. The chicken shawarma was dry, so dry. It made the dish unpleasant, despite the great salad and varied food groups.
Very nice dining room in beautiful Pacific Grove. The Gyros sandwich is the best in the west. Great service.

The staff, food and drinks are consistently very good. We travel to Pacific Grove twice a year and we make sure that we dine here during our stay.
Love the varied selections and the preparation for each. The clam chowder was just about the best in the area. Gyros are wonderful. Great job in the kitchen!
Consistently great service, delicious food w something to satisfy everyone in our groupyy
Great food at very reasonable prices, with fantastic service!
We had the chicken Caesar salad, lemon caper Tilapia, and linguini and meatballs. Each entree was delicious and the portions large. We were very satisfied with the service and food and will definitely return again.
everyone was very nice and respectful. Great service!!!
Our server, Justice, made all the difference for our second in two weeks visit. Not only was her service EXCELLENT , she made perfect suggestions for menu choices. The food was delish! This made this visit so much better than our previous experience which was average at best.
Great variety with large portions. The four of us had a wonderful dinner there. ..Bob
This establishment has always been on our must go list every time we are in Pacific Grove. We always order the fantastic clam chowder. This time it should have been listed as creamy potato soup. I found 5 pieces of clams in the entire bowl I ordered. Our water classes we never refilled.
Enjoyed our eating experience here and even the waiter was kind enough to honor our certificate when I couldn’t get the coupon to load on my phone.
Very friendly service
Excellent Wait staff. Tasty salad. Attentive to our drink needs.
Beautiful!
The food, ambiance, prices and service were all excellent. One of the better meals we had on our vacation.
everything on the menu is 50% higher in price than the online menu linked to restaurant.com
We were told to seat ourselves. Once seated, we were neglected and had to wait to get menus, while others arriving after us were waited on right away. Waitress passed by numerous times without noticing empty water glasses. Had to stop her each time we needed refills. On positive side, the clam chouder and garlic bread is hard to beat.
Clam chowder terrific.
Service was not very good.
Food was good but prices were too high for the place
We always have a great time at the restaurant with the flavorful food and the friendly service.
Friendly staff, tasty food
The servers are elegant and professional they make you feel welcome
Attentive, professional service. Large menu variety.
Great customer service (normally). Friendly staff and excellent food.
Thee lamb and beef meet was tasty and tender. The salad was good I like it much. had saffron rice.
First hostess was blah & seemed to not want to be there. Everyoneveryon else was very nice.
Great clam choweder and pleasant service.
Good atmosphere and menu options. Terrible chicken swarma.
Hawaiian pizza was great! Cheeseburger was huge!
Although service was good, it was not at the level we previously received and have come to expect at International Cuisine.
Excellent food and generous servings. We had hamburgers and salad and thought the service was a tad slow, but worth the wait.
The restaurant is clean and the service friendly. My falafel was very tasty. My son ordered a hamburger that appeared a little well done to me, but he enjoyed it very much. The server did not ask him how he wanted it cooked, but my son did not mind well done. I requested the French fries to be well done and they were nicely browned. E restaurant was very busy and that is a good sign. One more server would have been nice as my server had a lot of tables to tend to. She was very pleasant. I really appreciated when the manager or perhaps owner walked around asking the customers how the food was.
Like always top notch service
great service
Food and service was excellent ,will come back next time we are in town. Clam chowder is excellent
awesome as usual
Seafood pasta was very good, but leftovers gave me the runs so think it was not fresh.
Customer service was top notch and the food was excellent. I really appreciated the manager offering me a sample of the New England Clam Chowder.
Food was excellent, service superb, friendly and knowledgeable.
Great authentic dishes. Very attentive service. We'll be back!
Excellent service
Using the coupon went very easy, the food was good. My grandson and I stopped in to split something and try it out with my coupon. We split a cup of clam chowder. Very delish! We also split the monterey jack burger, ample sized and very good. Service was very good. Would recommend.
We always order the clam chowder with a side of garlic cheese bread. Delicious!
Fresh salad ingredients. Nice décor and excellent service.
As always, the food was delicious and the service was great.
Food, Service, and atmosphere all made for a comfortable afternoon of dining. The menu was extensive and worthy of a return visit to try some other taste treats.
Love their Turkish coffee and cuisine.
Salmon salad was excellent. Loved the dolma!
Have been there many times before, however this time, although the food was still tasty, we noticed that the prices have gone up and the amt provided have been reduced. Also, we ordered the beef stroganoff and we thought we would get the beef over noodles, instead it was served with mashed potatoes. Kind of disappointed in that.
Sushi was great! Service was also outstanding.
As always, service and food were excellent.
we both ordered from the "specials" menu Both entrees were delicious.
some times are better than others,prices have been raised, portions smaller.
The beek stroganoff was outstanding! Service was good.
We waited over 10 minutes before we were offered menus. Waiter never checked on us once we were served.
This place is convenient to my home and we have always had consistently good food here. The service has always been very good even at times when they are busy.
food and service are great
beautiful and delicious food. The owners and staff are eager to please. I have never had a bad meal.
The wait staff was super polite and friendly. Very good service. Also the food was great, my tilapia was fresh and tender. Vegetables were perfect with a little aoli sauce for flavor.
Very cold. Restaurant is open to an unheated mall.
Great waitress
I ordered the filet mignon and the piece of meat I received was not as good as the 2 prior times I ate here. The meat was tough and chewy and was in multiple piece when it arrived. The side of the day: greenbeans with mushrooms had no mushrooms and they were hard. It seemed like everything was frozen and just removed from the freezer and brought to our table.
From the time we entered the restaurant, we had to flag down a server to take our order. Then, we ordered a dinner salad and a bowl of clam chowder. The chowder was delicious.Then, after we ordered our pizza, it seemed to take forever. We asked about our pizza and then the server went and got it. It was delicious but just warm, not hot.It seemed like something was going on in terms of number of servers because the host and one of the waiters looked totally stressed out.Finally, when we were more than ready to leave, my husband had to ask for our check. Finally, we got the check and left.
The menu was extensive and the food was very good.
The order was prepared to our specifications .
Beautiful décor, fine food, but pricey.
Loved the view even in the rain. Our server, Guy, made the evening really fun. We all had the specials and they were terrific. Found a new rain wine to shop for.
Loved the view even in the rain. Our server, Guy, made the evening really enjoyable. We each had one of the dinner specials and they were terrific. We were celebrating an anniversary and they gave us a dessert. Found a new red wine to shop for.
Garlic toast was served well before our clam chowder. It would have been nice if both were served at the same time.
Being a local I always like to frequent local restaurants, I've known this restaurant and owner many yrs, LOVE the food and changes made, I also work at an inn and refer guests, HOWEVER, we went in looking at prices on their internet site and it showed them to be $2-$3 cheaper, living on a budget need to know that and guests disappointed to go and see that. We had to split/share our meal, but they still treated us with great service and smiles! Please update the online prices. Was also surprised to not see a LUNCH menu but an all day menu with high dinner prices...we are locals, any local day prices??? But withuot the $10 off coupon could not have afforded it...so I bought several of them! Loved it and will go again!
Wait staff was excellent as was the food!
Food was excellent but the service was poor. Food service was slow. Later arriving patrons were receiving their food before us. Waitress never checked on us. Discussed service with manager but received a less than sincere apology.
The food was hot and delicious, eye appealing and quite tasty. It was as I expected.
Overall, a good experience. Our orders came out about 5 minutes apart. Awkward because one of us was very hungry & had to wait for the other's food. There was a mix up on our food receipt(and added entree), but it was handled quickly and we were given an accurate bill. Food was delicious!
food was wondeful. full of flavor. best shrimp pizza.good size portion nott huge but not small. filling.
Good food and good service - nice clean bright restaurant.
Wine menu was from only Salmon Creek. Not worth the $25, nor did our server refill out glasses:(
Excellent food and very good service
We really like this restaurant and we have been going there for over five years. We have never had a bad meal and the total experience has always been very pleasant.
Excellent in every except the wait staff were so busy that our beverages didn't get refilled. Everyone was very nice and the food was delicious.
fried calamari appetizer was ok. tilapia dish and vegetarian greek plate really good
The owner is always very warm and welcoming to his patrons.
Wonderful waitness and friendly staff!
We did not see the server again after the meal was placed on the table, It was not a busy time, nor was the restaurant full, until the bill was presented. I would have liked a refill on my beverage - or to be asked how my meal was going.
Great selection...Greek and Italian. Gyro sandwiches are excellent. Located right below our timeshare. Perfect spot to relax after a long day out and about ;>
AA+++ one of the best places to sit down an enjoy a good meal. We live in Missouri an visit Monterey area 2 times a year. Fine food an entertainment. Thank you Monterey
The dishes I ordered didn't taste very good.
Had a wonderful meal there. Loved the music playing in background, great service. Will definitely be back again.
always a nice experience at this restaurant
This is one of my all time favorite restuarants - I highly recommend it
Quility, comfort and ecomical.
EXCELLENT FOOD!
Varied menu choices, with Greek being very authentic and well prepared. Glad we tried this restaurant and we will be back!
They have the BEST Clam Chowder in Monterey.
The fish n chips were among the best we've had! You could tast the freshness of the fish and they were served hot! The way they are supposed to hit the table!!!
