    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Highly recommend making a reservation, they get pretty busy. We really enjoyed the Tin Can Nachos, and had a few cocktails. I had the toasted tini, it was a creamy espresso martini with marshmallows and it was soo good! Food wise, I ordered the Catch of the Day tacos which was Rock Cod and it was pretty tasty. The staff were all nice, just again slightly busy. Overall enjoyed !!

    SCW and I stopped into El Cantato while staying in Monterey Bay. This place was a priority for me…read moreas it's all plant based and Mexican. Parking is sparse in front of the restaurant but paid parking is nearby. We entered and wow, the place was busy. Not overwhelming but lots of people in the indoor dining area enjoying their food. The menu is overheard and we decided what we wanted and ordered. The employees were kind and helpful, we probably were the only people that didn't speak Spanish well in the restaurant but that wasn't an issue, SCW got the number 2 combo, I got the mole. Also ordered an appetizer. Seated and waited about 10 minutes and our order came out. Everything was freaking amazing. Such great flavors and so fresh. Even SCW who doesn't necessarily gravitate towards Mexican food made nom nom nom sounds the whole time. The mole was incredible, the best I've ever had. The whole time we were here it was an endless stream of customers, even late lunch hour. SCW was impressed by the contrast stream of people coming in. We even walked around the wharf nearby for a while and drove past again and it was still packed with people. Do yourself a favor and visit El Cantato. I know I will.

    An incredible find for vegan Mexican food!…read more What a gem! El Cantaro is one of those rare vegan restaurants that delivers authentic Mexican flavors in fully plant-based form--and they absolutely nail it. As someone always on the hunt for vegan options that don't compromise on flavor, I was thrilled to find a whole menu of Mexican classics done right. We went all in: nachos, tamales, taquitos, and the fajitas in both plant-based chicken and steak. Every single dish was a hit. The veggie enchiladas in green sauce were a standout--truly amazing. Honestly, you don't miss the meat at all; the textures and seasonings are spot-on. The real showstopper was the chamoyada for dessert--a refreshing pineapple icee layered with juicy mango chunks and that signature sweet-tangy-spicy chamoy. The perfect happy ending to an already wonderful meal. If you're vegan, vegetarian, or just curious to try something different, this place is well worth the trip to Monterey. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and can't wait to come back next time!
