Excellent service our waiter was amazing! great atmosphere and the food was excellent! ?

Incredible cab ride. Great food and the best property!

Great experience!!! The ambiance, food and service was fantastic!

We came here Fathers Day with our two children also celebrating my 40th birthday. It was a wonderful experience, our first time here, recommended by friends since we moved to Monterey. The garden path walking down is exquisite. Fountains all within the restaurant. The terrace and outdoor courtyard scenery are both delightful. The dinner and dessert were lovely. William was our server and he was wonderful. It was a beautiful experience and we look forward to coming back here with friends to share this gem.

I've dined at this restaurant many times over the last 25 years and rarely had any issue. My last visit was so bad that I told the waiter "if this was my first experience, I'd never come back". The food was barely warm, the dessert lacking flavor, and the bread would have make great hockey pucks. Proceed with caution.

I was here to celebrate my daughter's graduation. This is such a beautiful restaurant if you love nature. The place is surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of trees. The restaurant is located at the bottom of the cliff there's a trolley that goes up and down and I want to say most patrons took the trolley instead of walking. If you decide to walk there are multiple flights of stairs. The staff was great too. Everyone we talked to was super nice and I have to say they excelled at what they did. The food was delicious. It looks like a popular place and reservations are a must since this place looks like it's a hot spot. I'm not a local but when I visit the area again I will definitely dine in this restaurant.

Wow! I love this restaurant.Came here for lunch and was totally amazed! The ambience is truly unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area, and the romantic theme was definitely captured throughout.While that was great, the food was also excellent. Had the Caesar salad, Blackened Shrimp Mac and Cheese, and the steak sandwich. Each dish was better than the lastCannot wait to come here for dinner!!!

Beautiful, gorgeous location. Poor, over priced, poor quality food. Artichoke appetizer was sent back- horrible. Pork chop dried out. Staff was excellent and attentive.

The restaurant offers a unique dining experience for kids and adults. The restaurant is built on the side over many decades and has created a fun and whimsical labyrinth that is fun to explore. The restaurant over looks the peaceful Soquel Creek. The restaurant can be accessed by the unique hillside funicular cable car or down the stairs/pathway through the gardens. The service and food were both top quality and the prices aren't overly expensive for what you get.

cozy, charming with a very attentive staff. food is great - zero complaints at all! while the food is great, i dont think it's unique to shadowbrook. the real gem here is the ambiance and environment. from the quick furnicular ride to the warm wooden interiors and a gorgeous outdoor seating. will come back.
