Savor Monterey’s Seasonal Specials
At Estéban Restaurant, our seasonal specials spotlight the freshest local ingredients and creative cooking techniques. Collaborating with nearby farms, artisans, and vendors, we craft menus that celebrate California’s finest seafood, meats, and produce. These specials include festive events and dishes that evolve with the seasons, bringing unique culinary experiences to downtown Monterey.
Local Favorite, Cat Broz
Monterey-based guitarist Catherine "Cat" Broz is a versatile musician known for her dynamic live performances across the Central Coast. Blending traditional Spanish and classical guitar with contemporary pop, jazz, and rock, her eclectic repertoire creates a vibrant and relaxing atmosphere for local venues and community events. Cat will be performing at the Estéban patio on Thursday, July 30th, August 20th & 27th. Dinner reservations are required to enjoy the show.
Sunday’s Best Shucking Social
Every Sunday, enjoy $1 West Coast Oysters! Our skilled team shucks fresh oysters at the bar—try them with lemon or Chef Steven’s spiced house-made hot sauce. Arrive early; oysters are first come, first served.
Celebrate Monday Nights With A West Coast Shellfish Boil
From New England to the American South, and finally the West Coast, a shellfish boil is one of America's great communal dining traditions. Every Monday night, served tableside in paella pans, the West Coast Boil includes peel-and-eat prawns, clams, mussels, corn cob pieces, Spanish chorizo sausage, fingerling potatoes, and Chef Steven's secret Cajun spice, all for $30 per pan. This lively, hands-on feast celebrates California's seafood and Spain's culinary traditions.
