After visiting Alta next door and seeing the bright blue door, I stopped by Cella a month later to try out their menu. This restaurant definitely offers a high end dining experience. Everything I ate was delicious but the service is what really stood out. Yes, the menu is pricey, but you could easily grab one or two drinks and an appetizer and be satisfied. I’m happy to have some leftovers and I would definitely return.

The mixologist Josh is amazing. He is fast and keeps a bar neat and clean with no bar back support on a busy Saturday night! And his uniquely crafted cocktails are delicious and very different and surprising, but yet always a perfect balance for the palette.

Overall great experience! Best meal I’ve had in Monterey in a very long time. Thoughtful menu, unique cocktails, and great service. Although a bit pricey- portions were on the larger side.

Every single dish was perfection! Octopus, soup, steak, salad! I don’t know how they did it! The service was perfect too, really attentive. Definitely 10/10

Great new addition to our favorite local restaurants! Food was delicious and service even better. From the wonderful hostess to our server. Restaurant feels casual and a relaxed atmosphere to stay as long as you’d like don’t pass up on dessert!

We had the occasion to make a quick reservation and meet with some good friends at Cella. Neither of us had been there, but we had hear of this place being connected to the famous Alta Bakery. Cella’s enternece is off the street but a bit conspicuous, so when you see the turquoise color door you have arrived. The food was excellent and the wine selection was impressive. The menu is a bit limited, but as long as you are not picky you will find something. Rachel was our waitress and she was wonderful. She really made us comfortable and had great suggestions.

DELICIOUS. We had a lovely date night here tonight, fantastic friendly and attentive service staff, well made drinks, well composed dishes and the salmon was cooked perfectly- crispy skin and moist meat. I was really excited for this spot to open as I love Alta and everything it offers so happy to add this to our date night rotation! Highly recommend you come check it out.

We found this place as walk ups and were seated and eating the best pork chop meal I have had in years. The service was welcoming, efficient and the restaurant had a terrific ambiance. It was only as we had finished our mains and ordered dessert and coffee that we realised we had rocked up as they were coming to an end of service.
