Mission Bistro

It was easy to book a reservation The beet salad was good but the beets were a little overcooked and the roots needed to be cut off. The spare ribs were fall of the bone good and it was a large portion The mussels were good, big, plump in a nice sauce Ceasar salad good Black cod with noodles were good but the arugula was a little tough Overall a good meal Would I go back Maybe but there are so many other places to try

The hotel where we were staying recommended Mission Bistro for quality seafood and they were mostly accurate. However, the service was sub-par. We ordered a half bottle of Cupcake Chardonnay, which was a "relative" bargain at $55 but it never arrived until after our starters were served. Serious Faux Pas. Then we discovered that the bottle was bad (dry cork) so we settled for a half bottle of a more mundane California Chardonnay at $48. Most likely it was an old bottle that was not stored horizontally to keep the cork moist. For starters, my partner and I shared the beet salad and the crab cakes. The salad was great but the crab cakes were a bit dry and perhaps overcooked. We both ordered the Black Cod and it was delicious! Probably the best Black Cod I have ever eaten. Very buttery and tender. We finished by splitting the Affogato dessert, which we both enjoyed. Overall, it was a good dining experience but management needs to address the service issue and the way it stores its wines.

Mission Bistro was very good. We sat outside on a nice day. The service was great. I had the wagyu burger special which included a glass wine. Good value. Very big burger. I had ordered medium it came medium rare. I couldn't finish it! I would go back again and try something different next time,

We ordered oyster, black cod and shakshuka. All of the ingredients are not fresh, the bread was rubbery. Server is nice.

Top marks to all of the staff members - consistently friendly and professional. Cosy atmosphere and wonderful dishes (we enjoyed heirloom tomato tartine, swordfish, wagyu pappardelle, and tiramisu affogato dessert).

Mission Bistro in Carmel is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding, the wine selection is top-notch, and the ambience is warm and inviting. The owners make you feel right at home, adding a personal touch that makes the experience unforgettable.

Outstanding melon salad special. And beef cheek papparelle was excellent. Served cheerful and attentive.

Very nice and cosy place, with so pleasent stuff. The food was to die for. The best brussels sprout I've ever had. Strongly recommend this place.

The vibe is immaculate the wine is delightful and the food is delicious. I came in on a Saturday around 1pm with a group of friends on vacation it was not busy. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had and I paired it with Heinz Eiffel Riesling sweet 2023 wine which has been my favorite wine.

Ah-Mazing! We've experienced this venue a year ago! The owners, the music/vibe is incredible! The food choices, food design and overall experience was outstanding! Dessert is also very nice! We'll definitely come again!

The oysters and seafood were absolutely outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything was delicious and the whole experience felt special. I will definitely come back here the next time I’m in Carmel!

Black cod was light and flaky. Soba noodles a bit soggy. Broccoli was great. Teriyaki sauce a bit sweet. Pork tomahawk was great with delicious glaze. Also had roasted Brussel sprouts very delicious with potatoes. Heirloom leaf salad was great! For dessert we had tiramisu which was a nice finisher. Enjoy!

It was very hot inside and the air conditioner wasn't working. Service was super slow. The food was ok. Too expensive for the quality of the food and poor service. We were charged $40 just was bread...

Mission Bistro offers incredibly delicious, healthy, and fresh food. We had our little dog with us which was a piece of mind.
