My wife and I were searching for wineries in the Carmel Valley and stumbled upon the Corkscrew Cafe, located about 12 miles east of Highway 1 along Carmel Valley Road. While I’m not certain of any formal affiliation, the restaurant serves wines from the neighboring Georis and Cowgirl wineries.

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather (a perfect 69°). We were seated at a table for two...
This California casual cafe does things right. Just a few miles from Carmel by the Sea, it is worth the drive to this snug stylish stucco restaurant with fire-roasted pizzas and spacious outdoor courtyard. We are particularly fond of the Meyer Lemon with proscuitto. This time, though, we ordered the seasonal fig pizza and seasonal salad, both of which were divine. We’ve always experienced excellent service (over more than a dozen visits.)
Stopped by Corkscrew Café in Carmel Valley and ordered the Salad Pizza — easily one of the best things on the menu. The crust had that perfect wood-fired char, crisp on the outside but soft inside, layered with mozzarella, burrata, roasted red peppers, and thin prosciutto. The fresh arugula and shaved Parmesan on top gave it a bright, peppery bite, and the drizzle of spicy honey tied it all together. Beautifully balanced between rich and fresh.

Enjoyed it...
