Some Monterey restaurant questions

We are in a bit of a rut, just looking for some spots we have never tried or haven’t been to in a few years. For one we have not tried: Melville Tavern. Our go to in that category is Alvarado Street, but would like to get some opinions on the Melville food. For one that fell off our radar: Esteban. Not sure why we stopped going but it’s been quite a while. For context, we really like Stokes Adobe, Cella and Montrio. Mezzaluna (yes I know that’s in PG). And we’d love a recommendation for good Chinese food, we have tried to like Tommy’s Wok but just can’t. Monterey and Carmel only please.
