Best Restaurants for Groups in Carmel Valley

Phenomenal food and good experience. For that type of restaurant I was really disappointed in the waiter. Very indifferent and way too unfriendly for that caliber of a restaurant. He didn’t try to conversant in any way or even make us feel like he valued us being there. When you eat at a high end restaurant you want to feel important and that you are in a special place. Our waiter did not give us that experience.

The food and service was spectacular! Wonderful fish/beef and good portion sizes. It is very expensive but that's Carmel! They ran out of sticky toffee pudding so despite that bummer it was a terrific dining experience.

Baja Cantina is the best Mexican restaurant in the area! If the weather is fine, we love sitting outside in the fresh air. We usually order a Cadillac margaritas, so good! The chips are real—-not the strange cardboard ones that many other restaurants serve. A nice spice mix on them and super crunch make them irresistible! The salsa is spicy and not too hot. All the food we’ve tried has been delicious! We’ve always found the wait staff to be friendly and they do hustle your food out quickly. I’d recommend getting a reservation, especially on Saturday afternoon, where the large patio can be packed!

What an epicurean adventure you will have on a Wednesday night at the Covey. Chef Goran creates the most exquisitely delicious,varied and artfully prepared food imaginable.Waitstaff are incredible. We are so lucky to have this gem in Carmel Valley.

I found this place in the magazine and turned out to be a fantastic restaurant by the water ! Easy to find and there are plenty of street parking! The staff were wonderful and amazing services ! I will visit this place again soon ! There are many shopping places near by as well!
