Spent 2 nights at the hotel, so I had some decent breakfast

Stopped in for dinner while visiting my parents who live in the Carmel area. Even though it’s not on the main drag, this is a great place to eat for good good, a chill mid century vibe, and friendly staff (thanks Tiffany!). We had the calamari (A+), hangar steak (cooked to perfection), house hummus and veggies, crab cake, and the Caesar salad with grilled prawns (YUM). Kid friendly as well. Def stop in here - breakfast and dinner.

We had an outstanding brunch! Delicious omelettes, perfect mimosas and exceptional service from Angel, Tiffany and the excellent bartender whose name I have forgotten.

Food was okay, slightly undeseasoned. Service a little slow because of short staffing apparently

We came for Tuesday dog night from 6 to 8. There were dogs all around. The live music was a two-person band. We each ordered their hamburger which was delicious. The fries were spectacular, extremely crispy. Good work chef! There's a pop-up bar but it's limited in the selections. Good place to see your dog friends and make new ones.

Service was a little slow, think they are short staffed but the food made up for it, they were delicious! We were a table of 8 and we were all happy with our food despite the little service delay. Perfect if you are staying at the hotel. Plenty of parking and has a cozy vibe.

Food and drinks were very good. Highlight was our server - Angel - who made us feel welcome and seen. Very helpful, courtesy and welcoming.

Food was very good. Waiters were not experienced. They were rushing us with bringing out our main couse before we finished our appetizer . They did applogise and brought out wine on the house. They also rushes us with the check.

Our server Christian was amazing. He was personable and professional! His recommendations were awesome. Our drinks were never empty and we felt taken care of! Christian deserves all the recognition for the service he provided! Employees like that are what make the experience!

Angel was an amazing server. Food was very good. I had the rigatoni and my daughter had the hanger steak- said it was one of her favorite meals on our trip! Everyone is helpful and friendly at this restaurant. If you don't want to venture out while staying at the Carmel Mission Inn... Shearwater is a GREAT option! 👍👍

Enjoyed a Tuesday night meal here. Nice setting and was quiet. Laura, our server, was personable, offered menu suggestions. spoke about the recent kitchen/chef/menu changes, and paced the meal nicely. Started with the shisito peppers - a hearty serving of large peppers perfectly roasted and seasoned (we took some home). The baby spinach salad with dried blueberries (a first for us) and hazelnuts was lightly dressed and just right for us to share. HB enjoyed the burger and shoestring fries. I had the cauliflower steak which was good but came with more salad. Next time I will try one of the seafood meals. We finished with the cheesecake with berry compote. Would definitely return!

The host was so gracious. As we were leaving, he brought a birthday gift out to my mom, since our table passed on dessert. What hospitality!

Marc

Our breakfast was excellent and the server was great as well. 8:30 am is a quiet time in the restaurant, so it was quiet. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes delicious and the coffee was good - could have been a bit stronger.
