“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!“
“Les (and Mike) have been our hosts on multiple occasions over the past four years. We have hosted family reunions, college Christmas parties and company gatherings. Each time, Les and her staff have gone out of their way to make sure that the Lodge feels like returning home. Cathy and I consider the Hill House our home away from home and simply can't imagine a better spot. Add the restaurant and saloon and you have the complete package but at the end of the day, it's really about the“
“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!“
“Astonishingly great pizza. The sausage pizza with pickled shallots and calabrian chilis is almost perfection. I don't think there's a single thing I would change about it. Bread with roasted garlic is an exercise in simplicity and deliciousness. I think my only complaint there would be to salt the butter - all the ingredients were great, but a little seasoning made it exceptional. Corkscrew was about an hour away from where we were staying and it was well worth the trip. Absolutely a must visit if you're anywhere nearby.“
“Love this little place! Replaces all of our breakfast places for Monterey. Yummy breakfast for most palates, AND I added a roasted jalapeño. The coffee was good. The chef was amazing both times that we went there. But the restaurant is small and thrown together. I only care about the yummy food.Parking: There were a few street spots. Too many other customers, and I would be searching for a spot.“
“This place is amazing. Hands down one of the best restaurants in the area if not the best.I have come here several times and I always leave happy.Fresh ingredients and care and attention to detail.Staff is always great.It is always hard for me to decide what I want when I come here because everything is so delicious!Come here you won’t regret it.“
“This place has a great breakfast. Food tasted fresh. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fast service. Large portions. They have all the condiments at the table including several hot sauces and creamers. The staff seemed to know most of the customers so I see that as repeate customers. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.“
“Wish they were in a higher traffic area so they could get the business they deserve. That would make it easier to flex their hours more. Perfectly cooked steak as requested, medium-rare. All meat choices are awesome. Perfect Comfort Food. ????“
“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!“
“Consistently one of the best places for breakfast in this area. Usually busy, parking is always a problem, but it's well worth it. My go-to is the huevos rancheros with chile verde and it's the stuff I dream of. It's not always on the menu, unless it's the weekend. Tortilla with a slather of beans and cheese and another tortilla on top. Pour on the delicious pork chili verde, add your eggs and a sprinkle of cotija and cilantro. Delicious! My husband loves the chicken fried steak, and theirs is the best locally. Their gravy tastes homemade and the steak is seasoned and cooked perfectly. I would add photos, but food is usually devoured so quickly after arriving that there's no time. Staff is friendly and does a good job. The same people have been there for a long time, so they must treat their staff well. Appreciate this place and highly recommend.“
“Great hidden place on the peninsula. It’s been a couple years since I was here last and the food my and my coworkers got was wonderful. The paella was great and I’ll be back just for that dish. The fire roasted artichoke should definitely be on your list too.“
“We enjoyed the new interior atmosphere of The Covey. It's softer, warmer and more inviting. Our party of four enjoyed beet and Caesar salads, pastas and the classic hamburger. Our waiter was terrific- he treated us with the professional familiarity appreciated in a club (we are Quail members).“
“We go here for breakfast frequently. The food meets my partners expectations which are high and the service is reasonable considering it is usually one gal that handles the entire restaurant. Outdoor seating is nice but service outside is a bit more challenging. We feel comfortable and just ask if we need something.Parking: There is a small lot for parking but space also on the street most of the time.“
“Whenever we are in Monterey this is a must stop. We really enjoy the outside patio, it’s always a thrill when a jet landing at the nearby airport buzzes the parking lot.This time for lunch I had a fried chicken sandwich and my wife had fish and chips. We started out with calamari but there was a mixup with the timing and the plates came out before the app. The manager came out and said they would re-make the plates when we were ready rather than park them under a heat lamp. That was really a nice touch.“
“Jeffreys is such a cute little spot. I love sitting outside there for brunch or lunch, it's so relaxing. The food is super yum and the waitstaff was quick and attentive. I highly recommend the hot chocolate. It was super pretty and yum too!“
“Husband plays pickle ball here and has brought me for dinner twice now. What a pleasant surprise! Tonight, (granted I've been dieting since February so "bland" has been my thing) I treated myself to a chicken quesadilla. Silly me expected a kid's meal type thing but what I got was SO good! Chicken, sautéed with red peppers, red onion, zucchini, light cheese. Grilled tortilla too! I had to thank the chef! Inexpensive, lovely dining room at a very pretty courts/pool club. Definitely will be a regular.“
“My wife and I were in Monterey for our Anniversary. We decided to dine in at this restaurant to have an anniversary dinner and it was pleasant. Waiter made sure we were doing good and another gentleman who also worked there checked on us periodically to make sure we were also doing good. Food was tasty and great. Prices were very reasonable. I would dine here again when visiting the town.“
“This place is in the Embassy Suites- that’s important for info on atmosphere and finding it! Really nice ambiance- we ended up here as it was the only place open past nine and we had just gotten into town and needed dinner and drinks and got both here with very friendly service. You can sit away from the bar area if the hotel bar is hoppin’.Limited menu- but totally sufficient and nice representation of local produce.Parking: Says paid parking only- we are t hotel guests so hoping for the best ?“
“2/8/24 6pm. Ordered Fish n Chips with rice pilaf, coleslaw and accompanied with cocktail n tartar sauce. $26 Brewed Ice Tea $2.75Every item was made perfectly balanced with ingreatience. A clean fresh taste that you should expect and no over powering flavors that linger after taste.The server Noe L attentive to assure all was satisfactory.I'll be back to try their 14 oz. Rib eye steak. $44Parking: Parking is expensive 1 hour $6.Don't forget to ask to validate parking ticket.“
“HUGE menu, lots of favorites, and the specials are great! Kitchen is pretty on-point and food comes out quickly and as expected.Huge fan of their breakfast menu. Diner feel, but the atmosphere makes it much more welcoming and comfortable.Wheelchair accessibility: No issues for wheelchairs.“
“This bar and grill is wonderful. It's beautiful and the food was delicious. Savanah, who served us at the grill, then the bar, was fabulous. She was friendly and professional and made the best lemon drop ever! She made the place extra special!“
“Both food and service were excellent. They had a nice variety of sandwiches, salads, and main dishes for both take-out and dining in their attractive space at the Quail Lodge clubhouse. The outside dining was very nice when the weather was appropriate.“
“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!“
