Got to town for the first night of our four day mini vaca in Monterey and found the China Garden just down the street from our hotel. The place is pretty big with plenty of nice sized booths and tables, and set up nicely with a variety or Asian decor. The hostess/waitress was friendly and attentive and sat us quickly, gave us menus and asked for our drink order. The menu was pretty diverse with plenty to chose from, so if you like Chinese food at all you should be able to find something you'll like. Everything from the appetizer to the fortune cookie at the end was pretty good and we enjoyed our visit to China Garden

Really good place to see sea lions pretty up close. We learned that at this time of the year (July) all the sea lions are males and that the females are all down south with their pups. Good place to experience sea lions in their natural habitat.
