“Super intimate sushi bar overlooking the ocean. Wild Coast Sushi at Treebones is one of our absolute favorite places! They have two omakase seatings a night for around 8 people at a time. Focus is on local fish, and it's super fresh and delicious.During our stay at Treebones last year we had a Friday reservation and ended up loving it so much that we scooped up a rare last minute opening for Saturday as well!“

“Stopped here for breakfast while driving down Highway 1. What a treat. We stopped on a weekday at the end of September and the views were stunning. The food was delicious, but the view alone made this a great stop. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the breeze.“

“Amazing dining experience from beginning to end. Jessica was our wonderful server, and she made sure we got special treatment for our anniversary with complimentary champagne and exceptional service! We had the tuna melt and shrimp tacos for a light lunch before heading back to the Japanese bathhouse, and both were perfection! Thank you to the entire staff for a perfect lunch date! We'll definitely be back!“

“After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.“

“What an amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious - every single bite was perfect. Our server was funny, and smart and made great recommendations. The space was warm and welcoming. I couldn't believe what a gem it is, hidden away in Carmel Valley Village.“

“First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.“

“You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.

Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.

A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.

But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.

We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.

The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!“
