    Delicious calamari
    Jack H.

    We were on 17 mile drive and were absolutely starving. Since I dont know the area at all, I Yelped the area and found this amazing spot. We walked in and the place was empty, so we took the best seat on the outside patio overlooking the golf course. The weather was perfect. The view was perfect. Our waiter came by and got us drinks and our appetizers. We got calamari for appetizers and it was great. We devoured it cause we were so hungry lol. My wife got the steak sandwich which was sooo good, my daughter got a burger, which was delicious, and I got nachos with chicken, which was delicious also. The waiters would check on us regularly. It was such a great spot. If you're on 17 mile drive, this is a bit away from the Oceanside, but it's such a nice spot! I would definitely recommend grabbing lunch here tho!

    French Toast
    Jason H.

    Warmly greeted and Susan was very helpful and attentive. A pretty good breakfast, to be sure. The French Toast was perfect, although I would have liked some more strawberries on top, personally. The Chicken Fried Steak looked hearty. The side of poached eggs were way overdone - between a soft and hard yolk - not even close. Bloody Mary was decent. A nice complement to Poppy Hills Golf Course.

    Deliciousness

    So fortunate to live in the area and experience the hidden treasures in our backyard. Our server Augustine was hands down one the best servers we had the pleasure of meeting in a while. The weather was perfect to enjoy the deck. This was my second time visiting. The first time I had lunch which was just as good as our breakfast that morning. Definitely will be back to try other things off their menu.

    Yummy corned beef hash!
    Bella L.

    Returned for our semiannual visit and was so happy to find the service and food still excellent! Rosendo was our server today and made sure we always had our water and coffees filled. We return over and over for a reason! Today, we had the corned beef hash which is made with real beef brisket that is served over shredded hash browns and eggs. Just the perfect thing to fill our bellies with before heading out onto the course. Thank you Porter's in the Forest for another fine visit!

    We arrived to the restaurant after a beautiful drive around Pebble Beach, which might be one of the most beautiful areas in California. The restaurant is inside the clubhouse of a golf course and was basically empty for a Sunday morning brunch. We were told that breakfast ended at 11 AM but they still had a couple items we could order from the breakfast menu instead of getting lunch. We ordered the eggs benedict and the veggie omelet and both were excellent. The benedict with avocado and mushrooms can rival any benedict we've had and the omelet was well done too. It's a great view over the gold course while eating and our server was great. I'm not as familiar with other breakfast options in the area but this was a treat.

    GOLF COURSE AT PEBBLE BEACH I didn't know picking a place for us to dine for lunch would end up being at a golf course in a gated community costing $10 to enter IN PEBBLE BEACH. We made reservations for 1pm and sat outside of the deck to view the golf course. Such a pretty view! Service was poor. We had to call the hostess who served us more than our waiter. The waiter never bothered to deliver my drink sitting on the courier after asking for it TWICE. That should have been scratch off the bill in my opinion! AFTERNOON BLUES - I think thats what the beverage was called. The taste was refreshing, light, and had no hints of alcohol but indeed there was alcohol in it. Presentation of my drink was simple and elegant. Highly recommend!!! FRIED ARTICHOKE HEARTS - such a delicious appetizer. Who doesn't love artichokes?!?! The hearts were like buds and deep fried with very thin slices of lemon that happen to also be edible. Never had an appetizer like this before and really enjoyed every bite. If you like the zing of citrus take a bite of the thin sliced deep fried lemons. Highly Recommend!!! CHICKEN PICCATA - such a delicious meal. The chicken was perfectly prepared. The thin skin was crispy and had great flavor. The breast meat was tender and moist. It was resting on a bed of couscous that was mixed with chopped herbs and olives... So good. And then garnished and topped with spinach and some kind of broccolini. The only thing that I couldn't consume on the plate was the bitter broccolini; too bitter for my liking. Overall, it was a well executed dish. Presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend!!! FLANK STEAK WITH FIXINGS - presentation was nice, block of flank steak, greens, and beans that looked like Mac and cheese from across the table. OF MENTIONING... ordered as medium well and came or as well done AKA beef jerky. Until the next review...

    Really liked this establishment and would recommend it to others. Outside seating is just fabulous but make sure the heaters work! We moved to the fire place and had to try and fit our plates on that tiny space because all the other heaters were not working. Anyways, we started with the calamari which was very good and such a huge portion! What a great start! Next we got the sirloin steak, burger, salad, and the fish of the day which was their special: a nice salmon cooked with clams, muscles, mushrooms and asparagus. Everything was fresh and tasted exceptional. The staff was so friendly! Will be back soon!

    Crispy pork rillettes. Taste just like a skinny pork egg roll.
    Judy L.

    3-STAR for the service. We sat down for over 15 mins before the waiter realized we were around. Even overheard the busboy nudging the waiter to wait on us as we were looking around and showing irritation. Food was amazing!

    Turkey Pot Pie
    Nicole D.

    The Poppy Hills Golf Course & Clubhouse have undergone an extensive remodel in recent years. Porter's has a nice selection of dining fare so there is sure to be something for everyone. The menu features classic club house favorites joined by elevated comfort fare. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a full service bar. If you're in search of a bold and spicy elixir, do get the Bloody Mary. It's very refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. This crafted with the perfect flavors and spices and garnished with crispy bacon, celery, olives and a lime wedge. The Short Rib Fries are a great opener to share. Thick cut, crispy fries are layered with tender marinated short rib meat and melted muenster. Since it was a cold drizzly day, the Turkey Pot Pie was a perfect choice. The ultimate comfort food! Tender vegetables in a rich gravy enveloped by a golden crispy buttery crust. Make sure to place your order early and allow at least 15 mins to prepare. Enjoy fireside dining and world-class golf at Poppy Hills. Guests can relax on Porter's heated expansive deck dotted with beautiful fire pits and comfortable patio and lounge seating. Diners can take in the gorgeous views of the lush greens and the Del Monte Forest as they enjoy seasonal and elevated American cuisine.

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.

My daughter did like her salmon tartine. My husband ate the meatballs but it wasn't anything special. At some point they got food deliveries and it was unprofessional how they discussed the delivery person. No one asked us how the food was or if we needed anything. Definitely the worst meal and dining experience of our vacation.

Our waitress Rachel was great and took good care of us. We ordered the French dip (added Swiss, onions, and mushrooms) solid sandwich, though it could've used a touch more salt. The real star though, was the fish and chips. Genuinely some of the best I've ever had. Lightly battered, flaky, perfectly cooked.

The fish and chips is the ultimate meal. The burger was savory, soft and creamy just he right amount. It perfectly paired with the Talbott pinot noir they recommended. The only comment is make is the amount of French fries that were served with the burger. The plate was a lot larger looking because a sparse amount of fries was served alongside. Maybe add a little more next time just to balance it off. The servers/bartenders knew their stuff. They provided what they could in terms of what was popular and well liked. They said both items we ordered were the most popular. The fish and chips have won best fish and chips 3 years in a row. I would agree with this since I usually am not wowed with this dish. I couldn't resist ordering a dessert. The applied tart with vanilla ice cream was so satisfying. Overall service, food quality and experience was very good. If return over and over again for this same food and experience. If I could give 10 stars I would. Carmel and Brody's is a new destination.
