Monterey Cuisine 110 W Main St Suite 135, Carmel Seafood • $$$
110 W Main St Suite 135, Carmel

“Very good appetizers, the crab artichoke dip is officially one of my favorites now. But sadly after spending so much on the twin lobster tails I was severely disappointed. I could barely cut the meat, let alone chew it… had to spit out two bites because it wasn't chewable…. I had to get a steak knife to even attempt to cut it and even then had to tug and rip just to get bite sized pieces. All the effort to be chewing what felt like pure connective tissue and no meat with every bite. I was so excited as it was my birthday dinner as well, live and learn. If I come back again I’ll stick to appetizers and maybe a burger or something for my entree./update. They personally reached out to me to apologize for my experience and refunded my mother, who paid for my birthday dinner, in full for the lobster tails. I truly believe it was just an unfortunate one off. I should have sent them back when I first had the problem. But I’m too polite and non-confrontational for my own good.”

Our server, AJ, was absolutely amazing, reminds us of a young Fred Sirieix with his friendliness and quality of service. The food is flawless in every dish, especially the PIADAKIA (lamb chops). There isn’t much else to say, it’s just an amazing dining experience.”

“The cutest restaurant on Main! The day I visited the staff was behind and they were up front about being behind. They asked if we could wait 15 mins. so that the staff could catch up. I did not mind and they also were very thankful in return.The menu presented refreshing options for this Carmel resident. It’s one of a kind and the food was delicious. I tried the blackened tilapia sandwich and my husband had the short rib and pimento grilled cheese. We both found our choices satisfactory. I also had the side of coconut rice and black beans which was slightly sweet as expected and still great. As for our appetizer the crab and artichoke dip was delightful.This is a must try for everyone!”

Even though it felt like we were getting royal treatment, I got the impression she treats everyone that way. It's hard to find people who really put their heart into their work but she is clearly one of them. We felt very welcome and will definitely be back and will look for Phoebe.”

1111 W Main St, Carmel

“Recommended by a fellow Mexican. The food was good. I stuck with classic Enchiladas ( Mexicana Enchiladas one shredded chicken, one cheese and one ground beef). It was topped with different sauces emulating the colors of the Mexican Flag. There were many other selections that I would call fusion as it went beyond what you would get at more traditional Mexican Restaurants. I am confident you can find a dish that suits your mood that evening and something different a delicious for your next visit. Give them a try.”

“What a lovely Sunday brunch with my fiancé and youngest son before his surgery on Monday. Jack had a little bit of a rough time getting all of his impacted wisdom teeth extracted this morning, but hopefully he is on the mend. This was his last meal before his surgery. They have a scratch kitchen. They are open for lunch, brunch and dinner. They have a wide variety of menu items with add on proteins and delicious specialty foodie items. The candy bacon was delicious and crispy and the right mix of sweet and savory, the burger and sauces are juicy and delicious. The crab cakes were wonderful the Parmesan risotto, the gnocchi, the Benedict and hollandaise sauce were perfect and the yolks were runny. I give it a 10 out of 10.”

“We had hibachi for a team work lunch at 11:30am. Service was quick, and the food was solid. Interior decor was classy, but the hibachi chef seemed a bit green.I say that because I've been to my fair share of hibachi places, and there were a few hiccups this time: the onion volcano was messy with oil leakage, so the fire didn't shoot up so much as spread around the onion; and his aim was bad so most everyone ended up with fried rice hitting them in the face ?Also, FYI, if you choose soup for your entree, it's a clear soup or like a broth --not miso.”

Eggshell Bistro 51 City Center Dr, Carmel Bistros • $$
51 City Center Dr, Carmel

“This a lovely hidden gem located within walking distance of Hotel Carmichael and the Carmel Farmers' Market (which is where we came from)! Aesthetically, it's really charming with an eclectic mix of vintage decor and plants, mix-and-matched tables and chairs, with dim lighting. We were greeted promptly by a friendly employee. They were very helpful with our questions about the menu, as well. We ended up ordering the red rooibos cappuccino and a vanilla latte, both with oat milk. If you like your drinks sweet, I would definitely recommend asking for additional sweetener because they were on the bitter side but still delicious. As for meals, we both ordered the shakshuka with two eggs, and extra bread for dipping. It was phenomenal! The flavor was incredible. The tomato sauce was vibrant and full-bodied, but the addition of an herbaceous accompaniment really helped to brighten it. The eggs were runny and the yolk added a creamy element, too. We were both left feeling very content with our impromptu brunch and are glad we gave it a try! We'll definitely be back. There are several vegetarian options and the shakshuka can be made vegan. Their menu also states that they decline alterations to the entree items just fyi!”

“This is a really great bar. It has a speakeasy vibe, with low lighting and soft music. It is on the small side, which I enjoyed. The drinks are great and at a higher price point than the surrounding area. This is the second time I've been here and there has only been one bartender. So, the service was slow. I do recommend this as a pre-date spot.”

“The original evening plan was for the Mrs. & I to play laser tag, but there was an hour wait until the next game.. what to do? Easy..eat of course! Tucci's was right around the corner & since we hadn't been in awhile.. why not? We hadn't been because even though they're pretty good, they had limited seafood selections, & we're pescatarian. Much to our surprise, they'd made some tasty additions to their menu since we were there last. The staff was friendly & actually remembered us from the last time we were there.. after playing laser tag..?With the cool atmosphere, & more for us to choose from on the menu now, we'll probably be back again sooner than later.. my best guess is.. it'll probably be the next time we go play laser tag..???Dietary restrictions: My wife has a few dietary restrictions, but they've always been more than willing to modify her dish to make sure it was to her liking.Parking: I've never had a problem finding free parking on the street or directly across the street in a big free lot.”
