“First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.“

“After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.“

“You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.

Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.

A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.

But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.

We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.

The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!“
