“Ordered the carnitas,lengua and fish taco. Good portion and fresh ingredients! Carnitas and fish tacos are really good, well seasoned meat. Would return for more!”
“Sunday brunch/lunch with music in the garden is the best. Michael Jones' cooking is amazing. And the wines, by the glass, bottle or as a tasting flight make this a wonderful place to spend a sunny Carmel Valley afternoon.”
“Wonderful winery tour with Peter. He was so nice & informative, what a great ambassador for the winery. Looking forward to being in the wine club and visiting the winery mor often.”
“If you are visiting the area, this is a must stop place. It is my favorite restaurant in the county. Every ingredient in every dish is intentionally used, there are no lazily picked side dishes here. The small restaurant is very charming and half of their seating is outside, well covered and heated nicely. Make sure to make a reservation!”
“We love Mika Sushi. Everything is fresh, delicious and made with love. The owners , chefs and servers are wonderful. This is by far the best restaurant in Carmel Valley Village! Our faves include: Tom and Jerry roll, hamachi carpaccio, seaweed salad, the new Smokey Robinson roll, and many more. They also have excellent non-sushi Japanese and Korean dishes. If you’re in the Valley you should not miss Mika.”
“Friendly service, nice environment and dog friendly as can be. Pop by to watch a game and pet dogs while enjoying a nice selection of beer & wine. You will feel like a local before you leave.”
“Go to Mexican in Carmel and Carmel Valley. Quick, delicious and clean Mexican. Carlos is the man and his family owned business is a hidden gem. Can't go wrong with any order here!”
“What a hidden gem! If you are available during their very limited hours, do it! Adorable dog-friendly little back patio and gift shop, and as the other reviews attest to they have incredible food for this area. They are primarily a caterer and offer a lot of take-home meal options as well with a rotating menu.”
“Do yourself a favor and order the chicken Cesar pie. I started ordering it 20 years ago when I was in middle school and lived here and now it is a tradition every time we come back to visit. So good, warm savory comfort food.”
“I came here for a last minute dinner and was delightfully surprised by the prompt service. The food is delicious, and the king salmon is ah-mazing! It’s well suaved with a crispy cover. The steak is surprisingly tender too. One bummer is the bread - I wish the bread is softer. Overall, I enjoyed the meal a ton and came back for lunch the next day (again). The salmon didn’t disappoint!”
“What a hidden gem I found in Carmel Valley! Pet-friendly terrace, wonderful service, inexpensive price with super big quantity, and yum! very delicious pizza!To clarify the confusion, you can order menus of Stirup Cup Pizza here at Running Iron. My husband and I wanted some pizza after the hike at Garland park. We needed an outdoor seating to be seated with our dog. You can order pizza and eat at Running Iron! We sat with our dog at the terrace at Running Iron and ordered pizza from Stirup Cup Pizza.I ordered stuffed deep dish pizza with the menu #4 and a basket of curly fries. The portions are crazy here! The basket of curly fries was HUGE and delicious! We could not finish the medium-sized pizza. Wow, the stuffed deep dish was very creative. You should definitely try.And Connie, our waitress, was so nice and friendly. I mean, honestly, all of the staffs that served our table were so nice and kind. They seemed to enjoy their job. I genuinely appreciate their service.Of course, I am going to visit here AGAIN!”
“Staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Ordered the lox bagel was absolutely delicious. The tomatoes tasted like they were from my dad‘s garden. You don’t get tomatoes like that in the best restaurants in LA.”
“Had the most cozy delicious Christmas dinner by the fireplace. Extremely friendly gracious hospitality and service.I left my heart there.Food & drinks: Awesome drinks and dinner !!!!”
“My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding by traveling to Monterrey where we went 20 years ago. We went to Georis on both trips and it is a highlight. Great building, outdoor seating and some of the best wine you will taste in Carmel Valley.”
“So delicious! The enchiladas and the shrimp Caesar salad were great. The Cesar comes with a quesadilla too. They make a really good skinny margarita. So peaceful on the back patio!”
