The best for outdoor seating and views. Order a Pizza!
What a beautiful treat from a friend of ours! Staff and guests were friendly. Me and my husband loved watching the kids run around in the sunset as we enjoyed our dinner on the patio.
Brussel sprouts and soup were amazing! Must tender pork chop you will ever have!
Drinks were stiff and delightful 🙂 thank you for the once in a lifetime experience!

GREAT Menu! Views are incredible. Discovered it by accident as the upstairs taproom was packed. Special shout out to Ilona who was kind. Glad we went down the stairs.

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. Guests say the service was next level and friendly, and Chef Alex visits tables to make sure everything is perfect. Some guests suggest asking for ice, since fires on the table can make water glasses very hot.
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, Street Corn, and Brussel sprouts, all noted for their delicious flavors. The Margherita flatbread is also highly recommended, along with spicy shrimps, apple upside cake, soup, and the tender pork chop. Some dishes, like the Fried Chicken Sandwich, may not meet expectations, but the overall menu is well-liked. The food is reasonably priced for a venue like this.
Beverage options are excellent, featuring a variety of cocktails and local beers, with customers enjoying the stiff and delightful drinks, 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. Many guests call it the best outdoor dining experience they have had.
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.
