    Maybe one of the best golf course restaurants in the world. The atmosphere, the views of Pebble Beach, the friendly wait staff, & the incredible food. Great beers on tap and four large screen TV so you can watch the PGA championship while you eat before or after golf.

    Amazing drive to get here, nachos, wait staff, and VIEW! A must when visiting Carmel. Make a reservation so you can get into Pebble Beach. Put and play!

    The ledge next to our table.

    Hay's Place food has improved so much since they first opened. Really tasty and true to its goals. The service was great too! Only one suggestion after our latest visit...the ledge next to the outside tables is filthy and most unappetizing.

    Food is always delicious, service superb!! This place is almost always packed so make sure to book your date but walk ins are good too. We walked in today and luckily got a table right away.

    Gorgeous spot

    Gorgeous place with a huge outdoor patio complete with fire pits. Even on a cold winter night, everyone stayed warm enough. About 1/3 of the seats seem to be indoors but outside is so nice. Everyone in my group enjoyed their food, especially those of us who ordered enchiladas. My "seafood trio" of assorted enchiladas in the different sauces was fantastic. All delicious but the lobster was the standout, of course! Pricey but this is PB. Nice place, good service, quality food. You get what you pay for!

    Sopa de Tortilla

    Delicious food-- we came and the guys played on the green while we ladies ate the amazing queso and waited for our entrees. The view and the food was well worth the wait. Staff were friendly. Some of the outdoor seating maybe could use a bit more shade, but the view was unmatched. Definitely coming back.

    This place is so amazing. The tin can nachos are a must order - beware they are huge so don't order too many other things. All of the meat and seafood is perfectly cooked. The service was great, every server is extremely attentive and they know the menu inside out. The views are perfect as well. Highly recommend

    Tin Can Nachos

    Service was great! Would highly recommend the nachos and quesadilla! My reason for dropping a star is because the fiesta bowl is labeled as vegetarian on the menu however we found out from the server it is not in fact vegetarian because the Spanish rice is cooked with chicken oil/broth. Our server was great about letting us know the various allergens on the menu and also accommodating my vegetarian diet. Would definitely eat here again!

    Beautiful view, great service and delicious food! Eight of us on a bicycle ride stopped for lunch on a Wednesday. The place was packed but we had a reservation for an outside table. We were quickly seated and our personable and efficient server arrived immediately. Everything we ordered was great but my Fajitas were outstanding! I ordered the steak medium rare and it arrived perfect. The scrimp was plump, sweet and nicely cooked. Plentiful sautéed onions and peppers and a nice side set up with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc. as well as yummy rice and black beans. The view is absolutely stunning and the food matches it!

    First time visiting, great food, beautiful scenery, friendly attentive service. It's located between the first tee and the putting green of The Hay golf course at Pebble Beach. We enjoyed Tin Can Nachos, Roasted Elote, Ceviche de Sol & The Pescado Tacos. There are no umbrellas outside, so if you're looking for shade, request the inside, although there are no doors, it's all open to the outside. Make reservations ahead of time.

    This was a perfect lunch spot for our group after a lovely day exploring 17 mile Drive and Pebble Beach! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with incredible views of the greens as well as the ocean! Food came out quickly, especially the tin can nachos and was perfect for sharing! The best item we tried was the Birria tacos along with the nachos! Very accommodating to large groups and had high chairs for a little ones! As well as crayons and kids menus. Parking is easy with lots just across from the restaurant! Next time, we'll plan ahead and get a teatime on a short par three course.

    We had a good time dining at Hays place. My advice is to make a reservation, we had one and were seated right away. The view is super pretty and the food was very good. Make sure you keep your 17mi dr entrance receipt so you can be reimbursed by the restaurant staff and your 17mi dr trip is basically free.

    This place is fantastic!! The service is 5 STAR!!! We were greeted by the hostess at the stand and she sat us at a table right away with a beautiful view! Our server was very attentive. We ordered margaritas - strong and tasty. We started with guacamole to share. And then we decided to get some tacos to share as well. As I was eating mine, he noticed the taco was falling apart. He said "that definitely shouldn't happen, so save room for dessert, it's on me." So kind of him. And it was amazing!!! So glad we did save some room, lol! We had a great time visiting Pebble Beach and the extraordinary service made it even better :)

Carmel-by-the-Sea has plenty of highly rated restaurants with fairly average food, and Pangea on Ocean Ave felt like one of them. The kimchi dumpling soup, artichoke chicken, and stuffed mushrooms were all fine, but nothing special. The service was good, the staff were attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant. What really bothered me was that every glass of water came with a plastic straw, even though we did not ask for one. In 2026, most restaurants use paper straws or provide straws only by request. Plastic is forever, breaks down into microplastics, and contributes to pollution in our water and environment. Plastic debris also harms marine life, including sea turtles. If Pangea serves even 100 customers a day, that could mean around 36,500 unnecessary plastic straws a year. Pangea on Ocean Ave should switch to paper straws and provide them only when customers ask. Average food I can forgive. Needless plastic waste is harder to overlook

The bacon cheeseburger was really good, the Caesar salad was a solid classic, and the fried chicken dinner was hearty and satisfying with two large pieces of chicken plus sides. The banana cream pie has a spin on it. I love the brûléed bananas. What stood out the most, though, was the service. My family is in the restaurant business, so I tend to have pretty high standards when it comes to hospitality and customer service. Our server, Razi, was truly excellent. He had the perfect balance of friendly and professional, made great recommendations, checked in often, and made sure we had everything we needed. At one point, I was feeling a little lightheaded, and he immediately brought me a cold towel and made sure my water glass stayed full so I could stay hydrated. That level of attentiveness really stood out to me. He was fast, efficient, customer-focused, and brought such positive energy to the restaurant. So many restaurants struggle these days with finding employees who seem trained, experienced, and genuinely engaged -- Razi was the complete opposite. He was outstanding. I even made a point to share positive feedback with the owner before leaving because great employees deserve recognition. I honestly could see Razi managing this restaurant -- or another one -- someday. As a fun side note, we also learned he's a singer/rapper, which somehow perfectly matched his great personality and energy. Really memorable experience overall.
