20 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carmel Valley

“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.“

“EXCELLENT PLACE! Overall amazing experience, the Month while I was staying in town I frequented Kathy's multiple times. Amazing and Authentic food, great prices and very kind and personable owners/staff! Not just kind as in a business kindness for the sake of making a sale, genuinely nice and kind people! If you blink you might miss it driving by so make sure you don't miss the opportunity if you're in the neighborhood, or go out of your way- it's worth it!“

“My husband & I arrived at opening and were greeted and seated right away. Customer service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both ordered Lunch Box specials and shared a J's Maki roll. Food was fresh and our server was attentive, checking in on us every little while to make sure everything was okay. Mika Sushi is definitely a gem in Carmel Valley Village and we'll definitely be back again.“

“Had a lovely afternoon tasting wine at the Holman Tasting Room. Elizabeth was super knowledgeable and very accommodating- we very much enjoyed talking to her about wine and the region. Wines were top notch. Especially love the Chardonnay, 3 Sisters Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Very nice cheese and charcuterie board. Definitely recommend checking them out.“

“I love the Bonilla family!! They are so amazing and it was a pleasure working for them. The food and dunks are amazing too!!“

“What an amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious - every single bite was perfect. Our server was funny, and smart and made great recommendations. The space was warm and welcoming. I couldn't believe what a gem it is, hidden away in Carmel Valley Village.“

“Every single wine at the tasting was awesome - that never happens, but here it does.Moreover the actual wine maker, Adrian, is here and not only pours the wine but happily talks about the how's, why's, etc of making the wine.Such a personal friendly experience.“

“Please know that I am a cook and a food connoisseur. My friend and I dined at Corkscrew Cafe last evening. We were blown away! Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations! It was a perfect party of palatable joy! A friend of Christina's had recommended the Meyer's Lemon Prosciutto Pizza. Serious magic on the tongue!!! And the crust... I normally don't eat the crust of a pizza. I devoured every bit. My favorite pizza is a margarita pizza. We shared. It was every bit as delightful as the Meyer's lemon! I'm a calamari snob. HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari on the Monterey Peninsula! Tender, light, fresh Monterey Bay calamari. And they are brilliant enough to serve it with both tartar sauce and a delightful cocktail sauce. You MUST experience the PEAR SALAD! We delightfully sipped LaMarca Prosecco during our meal. The servers were friendly and caring. The pizza cook a genius! We asked if we could bring fresh gluten-free pizza dough and if they would use it to prepare a pizza for Christina's daughter next week. They are happy to accommodate! It definitely without any hesitation is worth the drive into beautiful Carmel Valley!!! I can't wait to go again and again. I have to try their pasta with Bolognese and their short rib...♥️♥️♥️“

“We visited Big Sur Vineyards this weekend one of the best Pinot in the area!“

“Great atmosphere and service!“

“Had a fantastic time doing a tasting at this winery! The owner, Steve happened to be at the tasting room while we were there. He made a point to stop by every table doing a tasting and thank them for chosing McIntyre that day. Very solid wine and an incredibly knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend!“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was exceptional. They even brought pizzas from the neighboring business and allowed us to enjoy wine tasting alongside our meal.

The wine samples were excellent, and the elote pizza was creative and amazing.“

“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!!“

“This was a great way to wrap up our wine tasting in Carmel Valley. You order at the counter, then take your number and find a place to sit. They will bring the food out to you, but you are on your own for keeping your water filled and getting napkins, utensils, etc.

The food was simple (grilled cheese with sun dried tomato pesto and the side of meatballs), but the quality and taste were on point. Two of us split these, and we each had a glass of wine (great selection of area wineries).

It was recommended to by Pyper at Sardine Factory, and we thank her for that.“

“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.“

“Came here on a weekday around noon and enjoyed a lovely tasting. Although it was early December we enjoyed the open-air seating with views of the courtyard. Our host was bubbly, informative and balanced in chatting us up and giving us space to enjoy the wine privately.“

“Georgia Winery…beautiful setting, surrounded by the warmth and romance of California. The Sauvignon Blanc was excellent and the best pizza assortment was elegantly served! I will order a case of wine to be shipped to my home!“

“Food was great. The owner came out and greeted our birthday dinner group. Service was awesome. I recommend this place. We didn't get any wine but they have tons to choose from. Choose the outdoor seating you won't be disappointed.“

“Staying in Carmel for the Car Week from Scotland. What a gem of a place needs more customers. The food was spectacular and the staff are just SO nice. Wine delicious and NOT expensive.
We will be back without a doubt and encourage you alll to visit.
These people deserve to be successful!!
Thank you for a lovely meal!“
