It's a good place to start.,

This review is from: Monterey Bay: Ultimate Guide: The Ultimate Guide From Santa Cruz to San Simeon (Paperback)
Having been to the Monterey area before, I was looking for information about where to stay/dine with our small kids. That guide does not seem to exist. Several restaurants this author mentioned were excellent, but one was a real dog. (Hint: Monterey is not the spot for pizza.) Our saving grace was when we found a copy of a local rag that listed Readers' Choices. Travel books should rely on these for restaurant reviews and also spend more time exploring accomodations.
