Food Scene

Rustic French. Very nice patio, but inside is cozy & nice too. Great food, we recommend the wood-fired pizzas. A great place to go for lunch or an early dinner after you go wine tasting at Georis Winery just a few steps across the street. The wine is good, the vibe is cool, and they give you bread and cheese with your wine flight! 10 minutes from the house!

This is our favorite breakfast place and only 5 minutes from the house! Everything is good here and large portions with reasonable prices. Lots of interesting daily specials too. Fun to sit on the patio if the weather is nice (and dog friendly outside). Buy some of his spiced pecans, they are one of his specialities!

Nice outdoor patio/fireplace, and most of the year they have live music on the weekends. They have a Thursday night vintage car event every week in the summer. Great place to go to watch a game (closest thing to a sports bar in our area). Great food and yummy margaritas. Chuck loves their TJ Taxi. 10 minutes from the house!

Rustic French/Italian. This is our NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION for dinner (or lunch)! Nice patio with heaters and lovely inside as well. A good variety of offerings and everything tastes great and is reasonably priced! Their wine by the glass comes in a cute carafe and is a larger pour than most! Located just 10 minutes from the house. MAKE RESERVATIONS!

Greek Mediterranean. Top rated Carmel restaurant on Tripadvisor for a reason. Great food, reasonable prices and lots of fun. These guys know hospitality! Reservations a must. Carmel is a lovely place to stroll around before or after dinner. Walk to the end of Ocean Ave and see the white sand beach, dogs at play and watch the sunset!

This our favorite Italian restaurant in our area. If you're visiting Pacific Grove or Monterey, this is a must! Worker's lunch $9.95- salad, two entrees served family style. M-F 12-1:30. Great for dinner too. Elaine can't stray from the Carbonara. YUM. Homemade pasta, reasonable priced and delicious. They are a block's walk from Monterey Aquarium. Reservations for dinner highly recommended.
