About The Bench

The Bench is a popular spot at Pebble Beach known for its beautiful views of the 18th hole, the lush golf greens, the iconic Lone Cypress tree, and the Pacific Ocean. Customers often recommend making a reservation and requesting outdoor seating, especially since the outdoor patio with a fire pit creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the scenery. The staff is friendly and accommodating, starting the fire pit upon request and providing water bowls for furry friends.

The restaurant offers full entrées until 4 PM, followed by a menu of small plates and appetizers, which are highly praised. Favorites include the Bread Balloon, Cauliflower Shawarma, and Street Corn, all noted for their delicious flavors. The Margherita flatbread is also highly recommended, along with spicy shrimps and apple upside cake. Some dishes, like the Fried Chicken Sandwich, may not meet expectations, but the overall menu is well-liked.

Beverage options are excellent, featuring a variety of cocktails and local beers, with customers enjoying the icy cold beers and the “Thai One On” cocktail. The outdoor seating provides a lovely setting, especially at sunset, with views that are described as picture-perfect.

Overall, The Bench offers a great combination of stunning views, tasty food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place that many customers look forward to visiting again for a memorable lunch or dinner experience.
