    "The abundance of fresh foods available on the Monterey Peninsula makes it possible to develop menus that are simple, elegant, and exciting," said Waller. "We've added more fresh seafood selections and more grilled entrees, lightening the menu and enhancing the flavors. After implementing the new menu, I applied the same concept to our banquet menus and now we have satisfied restaurant diners as well as banquet patrons."
