Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Carmel Valley

such a great night, parking easy, rainy friday but still able to enjoy evening food amazing Giovanni extremely helpful and provided great suggestions Food came out in good timing and drinks just as tasty! Enjoyed the entire experience everything fresh

Tarpy’s is a Monterey classic. I have been enjoying their warm hospitality for over twenty-five years. They continue to deliver a superior level of service and cuisine.

A charming restaurant with delicious food and great service. We will definitely make Basil a restaurant we return to when we’re in Carmel.

LOVE this little restaurant. Everything is impeccably done; wide range of options; extensive & reasonable wine list; full bar; and friendly, gracious & professional staff. We go every time we come down from San Francisco & brought friends who are huge Italy aficionados, who are now also fans.

Great experience. We celebrated our anniversary there and the staff were so attentive and accommodating. Lovely place for a special occasion or just to have a wonderful meal with a spectacular view.
