“An unexpected amazing dinner and experience! We had the Caesar salad and beet salads and ribeye and filet for dinner. Robust portions cooked perfectly and the side twice baked potatoes were decadent but so tasty!! Service is exceptional. We will be back!“
“Mid valley has a market on Sundays and it is wonderful. Everyone so friendly and they have the big Sur food truck. Tacos were good but not the hype. Of course you have the grocery store and Jeffery'srestaurant, gas station hardware store and more. Nice oasis“
“A warm and welcoming restaurant a short walk from the main drag in Carmel. The menu changes each time we visit and tends to be more innovative with seasonal fish, cross cultural influences and less used cuts and types of meat. It’s a contrast from other local restaurants as while other restaurants work to emulate various European cuisines this restaurant is just itself. The exposed brick and cozy interior create an intimate experience and compliments the meal. Personally we make a point of coming to this restaurant every time we are in Carmel because during a holiday weekend in the pandemic they sat us and stayed late when no one else in town would serve us. Will be back.“
Italian • $$$
“What a fantastic restaurant! The food was outstanding very authentic Italian. I saw dishes on the menu I have not seen since my last trip to Italy. The waitstaff was excellent really knew the food, how it was prepared, the best wine to drink to complement each course. The restaurant is quaint but not easy to find. It is behind (not beside) the Cottage of Sweets on Ocean. Wander back behind the Sweet Shop and head down the alley and it leads you to the restaurant in a very charming courtyard. I am a resident of Carmel and never knew it existed, so happy I found this restaurant!!“
“What this hole-in-the wall kind-of place lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in its food. I’m surprised at some of the very negative reviews. I had brisket, tri tips, mac n cheese and beans. Meat was tender, juicy and served hot. Sides were good. Other reviewers might have a point in terms of lack of smoked flavour on the meats but I would sacrifice that over the tender and juiciness.“
“Always delicious, always fresh. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and explained things in beautiful word pictures that truly helped guide our ordering choices. PLEASE - Do yourself a favor...get a $3 biscuit for yourself. You could share it, but you will be a little sad you did afterward. Life changing.“
“This place is amazing! Came to the area for vacation with the family and I love good local food and I can say this is the place! I had the chorizo scramble and let me say “chefs kiss”! This is a must visit place for food I will definitely remember this one. The wait time wasn’t to bad considering it was Friday of Easter weekend, the staff where pleasant and super friendly.“
“Loved this place. Just the owner and her husband. Will definitely come back again. Going to be my go-to Chinese place in Marina. So thankful my family and I tried it. She was very kind and gave us complimentary tempura. More than enough food for the four of us!!“
“Awesome little place in Pacific Grove near the beach. I ordered the Salmon and Potato Pancake and think it was prob the single best breakfast meal I've ever had! Smoked salmon + potato pancake + crème fraiche. I also added a fried egg on top. We will def be back“
“The wide variety of both hot and cold sandwiches with the freshest ingredients is one of the reasons they deserve 5 stars. Marcus, the owner is personable, professional and always makes a delicious sandwich. The Reuben is absolutely incredible, and the portions are generous as well.Therefore, Locals is my #1 go to when visiting family in Marina!“
“Man this was a great experience. I showed up super hungry and excited to eat. Chewy my man the worker was super fast and delivered my pizza with grace. Cooked to perfection and made sure it was good. I totally Recommend chewy great person overall thanks blaze. ???“
“I got a cold cut sandwich the number 14 on wheat, I regret getting wheat bread lol I should've got white it would've been 10 times better, the cold cuts are good and they give you a lot, the fixings are fresh and also well seasoned, I want to go back and try hot sandwich next time. I also got the potato salad which was also good and at a good price. The service was good as well everyone was nice. I will be coming back here more often then I anticipated!“
“My wife and I had a great anniversary dinner. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive, in particular our waiter, Ruben. We had the sea bass and the cioppino and both were very good. We plan on returning and would recommend it. Dress was casual as it is right on Fisherman's Wharf towards the far end.“
“I got the salad bar to-go, and they gave me a large box and a cup for some soup. The salad bar had good options, and the clam chowder was delicious. Really glad we got a chance to pick up some work lunch here, and I will definitely look for a chance to return.“
“My husband and kid love burgers.We ate vegetarian and have very few options for veg burgers. Either we have to choose for plant based or without patty option.Habit have veg patty option for their burger.And it’s really tasty and their fries are so crispy and fresh.My kid enjoy both with their ranch.I enjoy their Orio shake.Vegetarian options: They have veggie burger with veggie petty.Parking: There are ways parking slot available in front of store or in their parking lot beside the store.Kid-friendliness: My kid love their menu.“
“We are new to the area and decided to try Deli Delicious and we liked it so much we have already been back 3 times. The quality of the sandwiches is really good! We love the bread (especially the dutch crunch) and the sandwiches always look as amazing as they taste. We have had nothing but good quality sandwiches every single time. I also find the staff working there to be really friendly! Today there was a gentleman with glasses and a long ponytail that was so kind! We will of course be back for many more subs!“
“It's hard to get great coffee anywhere in the world unless your in Italy, certain parts of France and a few other places. America is no exception. Most coffee is very average or at times worse. This is not the case at Tidal Coffee. The best coffee I have had in the three weeks I've been in California. Well worth a visit if your passionate about your coffee. At very reasonable prices. Also a very relaxing place with great views across the harbour and a nice outside seating area to sit in the sun.“
“We eat here all the time and they never miss. We’ve had Thai food at other places in and out of town and Krua Thai is by far the best. The have the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. We also love the Laab Kai, Spicy Eggplant, Spring Rolls, and the Sautéed Mixed Vegetables. The staff and owner are great people.“
“Ok, I don't know what's going on with the reviews of this place. They are all over the map. If I had read them before coming here I would have passed on this place and I'm glad we didn't! The food was AMAZING. My husband and I normally have to drive to San Jose for Ramen, but not anymore! We got the edamame with spicy garlic as an appetizer and they were definitely finger licking good. I don't even like edamame lol, and I ate those. For dinner we ordered the shrimp killer roll and the hi roll. Both were super good. We also both got Ramen. I got the garlic sesame and my husband got the miso. It was all fantastic. We are Ramen snobs, and we were both exceptionally happy with our meals. We will definitely be going back there. The staff was also super friendly, and the food came out really quick! I say give this place a chance. Can't wait to go again!“
“Wonderful new restaurant in Carmel; the owner also owns The Tree House so he really understands the restaurant business and is very focused on customer service and great food. Very cool vibes, wonderful warm ambience and excellent pizza. Service is impeccable!“
