Tusca - Monterey

Have been there in the past and it was good. This time everything was terrible. Will never go back.

Buffet was inexpensive, but many frozen store lasagnas are better. A la carte menu items were good but over priced.

I had made a reservation for 6:30pm and arrived at 6:15pm, only to be informed that they would not seat us until 6:30. Despite the restaurant not being very busy and having several open tables, we were not allowed to be seated early. Instead, we had to wait in the hotel lobby. The menu had changed since our last visit, with several of our favorite items no longer available and everything now being a la carte. The dish I ordered was delicious, but I may wait a while before returning while the hotel goes through their upgrades. I was somewhat disappointed as they shouldn't have changed what was working well to begin with.

Food was decent for the price, but nothing spectacular.

I would definitely recommend Tusca for their Thanksgiving buffet, but their new limited menu didn’t live up to it.
