Set high on a hilltop with breathtaking panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, The View, at Chaminade offers a unique dining experience. Indoor and outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the naturally beautiful scenery which compliments the contemporary California Cuisine. Whether it’s sustainable seafood or locally grown produce, The View emphasizes natural ingredients while providing four-diamond service. A 4% surcharge will be added to all guest checks to help cover increases in labor costs and to support a higher minimum wage.

***Please note that our kitchen closes from 1:30pm-2:00pm to prepare for dinner service. Our bar and restaurant remain open during that time, offering a fine selection of local wines, craft beers, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic refreshments to enjoy.

Will never go back on a holiday (xmas dinner). We were put in a side room, very very loud, and felt like we were at a convention. No view like in main restaurants Apps took over an hour to get. Dinner much later, no one to even give us water. They seemed overbooked and understaffed. Very disappointed.

Really great service and attentive staff. At least five different people waited on us and manager checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. Most dog friendly place I’ve experienced, with even a separate dog menu. My Frenchie loved it and got a ton of attention and care from staff.

The buffet experience was great! Each station offered something unique, with everything from sizzling hot entrees, a pasta and omelet station, to beautifully presented seafood appetizers, salads and desserts that were appealing and delicious. The ham, prime rib, turkey and salmon in particular were tasty, moist and tender. The quality and taste of the food exceeded expectations. Staff was attentive and friendly, though it took a little while to be greeted by our server. I left feeling satisfied and look forward to future buffets!

We got our Christmas buffet at the Chaminade this year. We have never done this before as we are foodies and love to make our own feast but this was such a nice way to just relax and celebrate the day. The food was great and the ambience is always beautiful.

We went for Christmas Eve dinner and we were put in a large sterile banquet room with very bright lights. Our server was kind, friendly and prompt and that was the only positive. The short-ribs were extremely fatty and tough. Calamari was soggy as were the truffle fries. The only good meal was the salmon.

I had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve dinner hoping to have a special night in the dining room. When we arrived, we were seated in one of the nearby conference rooms, zero ambience. It felt like a work retreat. I asked to be seated outside on the patio, which turned out OK with space heaters. I would recommend that the restaurant either not offer reservations beyond their capacity in the main dining room or at least alert those making reservations that they will be shunted into a generic dining room with florescent lighting.
