  4. Congrats, Bay View Deli & BBQ: Best Place to Discover #Borscht in #Monterey County! [Note: Beginning Feb 1, 2015, Bay View will have a new location and new name: Lighthouse Smokehouse, 794 Lighthouse Ave, Monterey.] http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/2013/mar/14/best-place-discover-borscht-2013/ … http://hht.herokuapp.com/home/detail/178 

    Borscht by Valentina at Bayview Deli

    Valentina’s borscht would lift your spirits by its colors alone, even were it not for the yummy taste and the good cheer with which she serves it. And as you can see, on a sunny day, their bayfront deck offers both sun and shade. Rainy day? Great, we need the rain!  Sit in Valentina’s large, homey dining room and watch the weather.
