New American Restaurants in Carmel By The Sea, CA

“Just a fabulous experience! The service levels were over the top. Never wanted for anything. Ate at the restaurant and had an 8-course tasting menu! To die for!“

“I'm writing this review only to highlight the outstanding service we received from Camillo. He was the only server we saw on the floor, attentively taking care of every table—all while maintaining a genuine smile. His dedication and positive attitude truly made our night.“

“Loved absolutely everything about this spot!! Not only is the food amazing, the drinks are delicious and the patio is perfect. They are also the most dog friendly spot I have ever experienced. Water bowls and a dog menu are provided for your meal if you bring your dog(s) with you. I had to take advantage and I’m pretty sure the dogs would give it 5+ stars as well. Heidi took care of us, but the whole staff came by and said hello and made myself and the dogs feel so welcome.
100⭐️’s if I could.
Thank you for being so welcoming!

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a breath of fresh air in the Carmel culinary community. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. The space is refreshingly chic and relaxing. The tables are spaced apart to allow for conversation and there's no rush to finish your meal. You are encouraged to linger and enjoy the best meal in Carmel!“

“Jeffrey’s has the best food 🥘 and it’s very reasonably priced.“

“Great piano bar! Awesome lemon drops😃“

“Happy hour rolled into dinner and both were delicious !“

“For hotel breakfast places, this is one of the best I've been too. Preparation is like a standalone restaurant than hotel dining. Portions are med/large, and coffee is dark brewed. View of the small pond adds to the dining experience. Highly recommend eating here, prices are fairly reasonable.“

“Never fails to give great food and service.“

“This is a Real Gem a few tables, clean, nicely decorated, the food is always fresh and sources from great places, seasonal, from appetizer to main course Amir and his team are very attentive, friendly and patient. Nice wine list, the home baked bread is so tempting you can't stop eating. The meat and seafood is so fresh and cooked to perfection. A locals secret place always a pleasure to return“

“Gorgeous!! I came to the ranch for a conference, and will definitely be coming back again. Could not ask for more lovely scenery, more activities (hiking! golf! archery!), or more considerate staff.“

“Really fun spot and super friendly staff.“

“We had to flag a server over for help b/c they forgot to bring over the mayonnaise. They forgot to bring to us. Their dessert was out of ice cream, they didn't come notify us that they were out of ice cream but instead just gave fresh whipped cream.“

“Great restaurant a few streets away from the centre of Carmel. We stopped for brunch before continuing along the PCH. The food was delicious. We had a fried chicken burger and the huevos rancheros.

They even give you a slice of crispy bacon with your Bloody Mary! I didn't know this was an option but I fully support it.“

“Great service and food!! Fast service and cozy atmosphere“

“From farm to fresh right on the plate; try the walnut apple salad and add chicken if you like. The atmosphere by the fire warms one inside and out.“

“Highly recommend, great vibes, Carmel modern style, extremely clean, great small plates to eat and relax. Fire pits outside to make it cozy, relaxing yet romantic. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They can cater to whatever music you’re into. Fabulous and extensive wine selection. Great for any day and any time. Romantic date night setting or business casual meetings. Perfect little hidden gem.
