    Wow! This place is fantastic! On our last night in town, we ate dinner here. We arrived a little after 5pm and were told it was 60-90 minute wait, which we were fine with. We were able to get seats at the bar and hung out there until our table was ready at about the 90 min mark. The vibe of the building, views, quality of service and food/drinks were all top notch. I had a steak, and my girl, had the bolognese. Both were fantastic. This spot was the highlight of my 3 days trip. The next time I visit the area I'll definitely eat here again. I'd want to stay at the resort as well.

    Mission ranch can't be missed when visiting Carmel! The atmosphere is so serene - the view of the ranch with the sheep, and the ocean peaking in the background is something really special. I came here fully acknowledging that dinner at Mission Ranch is likely more for the experience than the food itself. I was pleasantly surprised with what we ordered! The fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and carrot ginger soup being my favorite. We also got creme brûlée at the end and it was 10/10. Can't wait to come back for their cocktail hour!

    We were looking forward to eating at Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch Restaurant. It was a good experience, but not a great one. The restaurant itself is an old farmhouse, and lends itself to the shabby chic. The place is clean and well kept, but certainly not upscale. We ordered the pork ribs and the baked sea scallops. We try to keep reviews as positive as we can, so of the ribs we simply say: choose another option. Like, for instance, the baked sea scallops! Delicious in a wine based broth with bread soaking up the goodness! Well worth ordering! Service was very good, with a staff who are friendly and accurate. Except for a few special occasions, the restaurant does not take reservations, so plan to arrive at least a half hour before you want to eat. The ranch grounds are beautiful and interesting, and worth a quiet walk after dinner. We liked it (mostly), and we think you will as well.

    Had a great classic evening dinner here. The ambiance and people watching is terrific-- food takes a back seat to the back drop in my opinion. The service was fine, drinks were ok, and food was good. You have to know what you're getting coming here-- more for the experience than the food. Timeless place!

    We recently stayed in the Farmhouse at Carmel Mission Ranch. I rented the entire Farmhouse, with 6 bedrooms each with its own bathroom. It was Perfect for our sibling reunion (with spouses). Really I can't tell you how perfect this was for us. The Farmhouse has a very large living room, with a fireplace and baby grand piano. I asked for a mini frig, which they provided. We ate several dinners at the restaurant, which were delicious and well prepared. And if you're guest at the Ranch (as we were), one gets priority seating at dinner. We walked a lot. Into town, over to the mouth of the river, and at Point Lobos. We're already talking about coming back for 2026. We recently stayed in the Farmhouse at Carmel Mission Ranch.

    My mom grew up watching Clint Eastwoods show & has never been to Carmel so it was her first time & I thought why not take her here to his mission ranch. Came on a Sunday for their brunch! We got there 30 minutes early and there was already a long line. Bathrooms are located directly where the line is near the entrance of the restaurant Staff seats guests groups at a time there was 2 ladies seating groups & they asked our preference inside or outside, we chose outside because it was a clear blue sky sunny day. Our waitress was lovely & after she took our orders for drinks water & mimosas we were up and grabbing our food. Inside a man was playing the piano. The view was breathtaking we had front row to the sheep grazing and even caught a few scratching their backs on the tree branches too cute. If you look passed the sheep you can see the beach. Stunning. We started at the dessert station to grab what we knew we could finish Then we made our way to the team of two gentlemen working side by side creating our omelettes, such hard workers and were really quick at taking omelette requests/cooking while keeping the line moving, at the end of the omelette station they're also cutting us our prime rib. Everything was tasty, they also have a fish/salad bar station & I was pretty stuffed but ended up getting a Greek salad at the end of my meal. By the time we left all the dessert was gone but staff was stocking more & there was still a long line outside. We will def be back for Sunday brunch when back in the area!

    Saved from demolition and development in the 80s by Clint Eastwood and lovingly and gently remodeled, Mission Ranch has a homey, nostalgic feel. We ate in their casual restaurant that overlooks sheep and deer, in a field leading to the Pacific Ocean. The food was equally nostalgic with traditional entrees like prime rib, filet minion, rack of lamb, catch of the day, half a roast chicken, pasta and even cheesy bubbly potato skins. They don't take reservations, so we dropped in on a Friday and waited an hour for a table. The views are impressive, service is friendly, and dining here feels like time travel. Recommended.

    Our first time visiting! We arrived on a Saturday around 4:45 to get in line for dinner service at 5. The line looked long, so I was worried, but when we put our name down they told us we'd be seated by 5:15, which was a nice surprise! We were seated right away, and the staff were very attentive. The complimentary garlic bread was fresh and delicious. We skipped appetizers and ordered our entrées quickly. My husband got the New York steak, and I had the fettuccine Alfredo. Unfortunately, it took a very long time for our food to come out. Tables seated after us were getting their meals before we did. Our server apologized and mentioned a large party slowing down the kitchen, but it was confusing since everyone around us seemed to get their food at a normal pace. When our dishes finally arrived, they were excellent. Definitely worth the wait. We shared the pecan pie for dessert, and both the pie and the ice cream were delicious. Overall, we didn't leave until after 7 because of the slow food service. Given the delay, it would have been nice to at least have dessert comped. Still, the food was great, the staff were kind, and the views are beautiful. We'd definitely come back!

    We picked the perfect location to celebrate our 50th anniversary... Terrific location wonderful staff with a warm greeting! Our room felt like a cottage with that old school vibe with modern touches as well. Super relaxing environment and so fun to see the sheep grazing in the field. We enjoyed an excellent dinner as we requested a corner window of view away from the piano bar so we could enjoy a relaxing dinner ! We definitely wanna come back... Very relaxing and chill !

    Visited on a late Friday afternoon and it was already very busy. Apparently, they don't take reservations and if you are not there before 5:00Pm and willing to wait until they start seating, it is unlikely you will be happy. Because we only wanted cocktails and appetizers, we were seated on the outside deck in a very, very small area dedicated to same. Here is a brief overview based on 1-5 stars with 5 being outstanding: Location = 5, meadow and ocean views. Facilities = 3, old, dated, worn out, but historical in nature. Service = 2, staff is a combination of inexperienced and angry. Food = 2, nothing unique or flavorful. Although I appreciate the story of Clint Eastwood's involvement in saving this historical site, I wish more effort had been made in making the business as exceptional as the location.

    Been seeing this come up on my feed a lot so decided to take a trip to Carmel to try it out. The views are nice. The vibe is nice and calm not loud. Plan ahead if it's windy. We ordered a lot of things to try out, but by far the highlight was a pecan pie. The chowder was good and also the scallops and risotto one thing I didn't care for was the Raggu as it was a very bland, not even the pasta tasted like salt. Definitely come here for the vibes. Service was also very welcoming and great.its a 3.5 for me

    Cute sheep in the background. The black one is Dublin.

    I would like people to come in deliver drinks and food a little faster. I am not sure if servers realize how tacky it is too question people whether they're gonna stay there a while or longer right from the start. It makes you feel like you're not as important when people don't seem to really care about the service. The food was fine, but not extraordinary. The drinks were amazing, but I felt like they took a while delivering them. The view is outstanding, and the places is just awesome. They could elevate their service by bringing drinks and food faster. It would be best if they don't ask you any questions and just bring you in as it doesn't matter how long they're planning to stay. I recommend this place.

    This is a great locals spot! I've been going there for three years and am now treated like family!…read moreFood is amazing. Prices are reasonable and the wine is local.

    I should have taken the fact that the restaurant was completely empty as a warning sign…read more This was honestly one of the worst dining experiences my family and I have had in a long time. The fish and chips were inedible--the fish was gray on the inside and didn't look appetizing at all. The chicken sandwich came with wilted, brown lettuce and a tomato that was clearly spoiled. It had a sour taste and a foul odor that immediately ruined the entire sandwich. When we brought it to our server's attention, there wasn't even an apology. Instead of addressing the overall issue, he simply brought out another tomato. The chicken quesadilla was shockingly small, looked like something from a kids' menu, and had almost no flavor. Even the beer tasted off. At that point, it felt like every item that came to the table had a problem. The most surprising part was that the bathroom seemed cleaner and better maintained than the food being served. We spent around $140 and left wondering what exactly we paid for. To make matters worse, several members of my family felt sick after eating here. Between the poor food quality, lack of concern from the staff, and overall experience, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    Chose this place off the cuff and was really impressed with how good it was. We came with a party…read moreof 11 and was seated within the hour and we got our food relatively fast. We got the patty melt fries and a banana walnut pancake and I got the tuna melt and a side of chilli. The brisket chilli was really really good, and the sandwiches were amazing. The pancakes smell so good we all gasped when they brought it out. The potions are very large so honestly you could split every meal besides maybe the skillet dish. But every sandwich our table got was huge and all tbe food was really well made. For the price it was also very worth it. The place is surrounded by a nice walkable area and the resturant itself is very cute, I was expecting a random restaurant along the road but it has a very aesthetic design here. You could easily come here for an elevated but not crazy fancy brunch and enjoy the day.

    Really tasty breakfast spot in Carmel that definitely gets busy, so expect a wait during peak…read moretimes. The food was worth it though, and everything tasted fresh and homemade like the name suggests. Loved the little store attached to the restaurant too. It was fun to browse after eating. The surrounding shopping area is also really nice to walk around and explore. A highlight for my daughter was the Mickey Mouse pancake! Overall a solid stop if you're visiting Carmel and looking for a good breakfast or brunch spot.
