    Mudslide dessert. Chocolate and Oreos ice cream cake.
    Mo A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can't beat this beautiful view from their outdoor dining area of the coast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was loud and expected with golfers getting dinner after their rounds on the courses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Tempura shrimp salad
    Heather M.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed lunch at Roy's. Great views and service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were also great- Pebbletini and MaiTai. The chicken Thai noodle bowl was ok. The chicken was overcooked a bit and it just had okay flavors. The beef bowl with veggies and glass noodles was great! Loved the flavors but again the meat was a bit overcooked. The star was the tempura shrimp salad. HUGE tempura shrimp perfectly cooked on a bed of greens dressed in a cilantro vinegarette

    spare ribs

    If you already know Roy's, I probably don't have to say much. Upscale Hawaiian fusion with Asian influences and such a phenomenal food experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is chill, candle lit vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus, you're right near Pebble Beach![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was great and the food was outstanding. We ordered the coconut shrimp, spare ribs, butterfish, and filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. Roy's is one of the best, so I'm mostly here to post the food pics LOL. Thank you, Roy's, for such a great experience. It almost felt like being back in Hawaii.

    Took my wife here for our anniversary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful views, delicious food, great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was quite the highlight. HOT TIP: Make a reservation beforehand and they'll waive entrance fee to the 17 mile drive when you show your reservation . We made a reservation for lunch and opted for a 3 course meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Take advantage of walking the beautiful scenery along the boardwalk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lounge in the lobby of the Spanish Inn and have a drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back.

    The staff was super attentive and nice. I was here on a "work trip". [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great view on the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of heaters for when sun goes down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Really unique dinner options! I went w the Kona crusted steak. It didn't disappoint!!! If you find yourself behind enemy lines in CA, not a bad way to bide your time.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in Spanish Bay at Pebble Beach, the views are incredible. You're looking out over the golf course with the ocean just beyond, and it feels upscale and peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you time it right, you can even catch the bagpiper at 5:30pm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to other Roy's locations and always order the miso butterfish. This time, it was still good, but slightly off compared to what I'm used to. It had a faint fishiness that usually isn't there, so while I still enjoyed it, it didn't quite hit that usual top tier standard. We also ordered pasta for my son, which he devoured, and a steak that was solid and well prepared. Overall, the food was good, but not necessarily the highlight. The real standout was dessert. The chocolate lava cake was an absolute slam dunk. Just a heads up, it takes about 20 minutes to prepare, so ordering it midway through your meal is the move. Totally worth it. Service was excellent. Our waiter was polite and thoughtful, especially recommending we order the lava cake early, which saved us a long wait at the end. Parking is easy with plenty of self parking available, and after your meal you can walk around or head into 17 Mile Drive, which makes the whole outing feel like more than just dinner. One tip: try to get a reservation on the earlier side and request a window seat if possible. A lot of people come just to see the bagpiper, so being able to enjoy that from inside the restaurant is a nice bonus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, you're coming here for the experience. The views, the atmosphere, and the setting make it hard to beat, especially around sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    HONEY MUSTARD BEEF SHORT RIBS gluten free
    Tara P.

    Delicious, if expensive for what it is! Service was great, water always kept full. Food was delicious and the gluten free items came on designated plates.

    Anya  Number One in all Pebble Beach !!!

    Anya is number 1 in all of Pebble Beach We had a birthday party Anya did over the top in customer service The food was expectational Definitely need to try Roy's

    Surf and Turf with Honey Mustard Short Ribs, Black Bean Glazed Swordfish, and Steamed Veggies
    Bryan H.

    After doing half of the beautiful 17 mile drive, we came here for dinner as part of our honeymoon trip, and left so satisfied! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was definitely bustling when we came in, but we had a nice seat off to the side where we could look outside at Larry of the ocean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our drinks were delicious to start off, and our Lakanilau Roll with the seared wagyu was such a delicious way to start off our meal! For dinner I had the surf and turf with honey mustard beef short ribs and black bean glazed swordfish; the short ribs were so nice and tender with a sauce that was just perfect in its thickness and hint of sweetness! And because it was our honeymoon, they gave us some free cake and ice cream, which was very thoughtful! All in all, I'd love to come back and check out the rest of this menu, and just overall hang out at this hotel/resort! A nice way to have ended our weekend before we left on Sunday

    Mango cheesecake
    Laura M.

    Our dinner was absolutely incredible! We were so sad when the Roy's by us closed so any time we are near another one we have to stop in. This one is exceptionally beautiful and the ambiance is breathtaking and lovely. Our service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious! We ordered: sushi, sashimi, duck, filet minion and swordfish. We also had the lava cake and cheesecake for dessert and truly everything was delectable with a stunning presentation. This might be my favorite restaurant ever! Thank you for an amazing night, Roy's at Pebble Beach! We will be back for sure!! I was so busy eating I didn't take many pics until dessert but trust me this food is to die for!

    Pistachio chocolate cake
    Tyler S.

    Roy's is never a bad choice. Food and service is always top notch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went with a big party and the downside is that they are not able to push tables together and had us at 3 tables next to each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made the convos more personal but harder to interact with the whole group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, it does get quite noisy in the main dinning area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But that's a plus for anyone with young kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Aloha punch, zero proof
    Mike C.

    Long on my bookmark list, this restaurant is the only to my knowledge that's still owned by its founder that's on the mainland. Booking a Sunday brunch reservation in mid-September, we arrived a little early so we walked the back of the resort towards the beach and enjoyed the sights and sounds. When we returned and checked in at the hostess stand, we were seated at a long table past the hostess stand and near the window facing the beach. As we studied the menus, we saw a mix of our favorites from their flagship restaurant on Oahu as well as several different menu items. Since we were driving home after this meal, everyone abstained from alcohol but the non-alcohol beverages were interesting. I tried the Aloha punch (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=qHBaziiMBGkQXXnAoEswkQ), passionfruit-orange-guava puree, Sprite, orange juice, which was delicious. We each ordered entrees while adding several items to share. Here's what we had: Appetizers, shared: 1. Nori-wrapped scallop (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=7u_tMPwH80ITd6aGko8lvw) - Miso yuzu beurre blanc, saffron aioli, shiso pesto. Tasty and a great starter. 2. Shrimp tempura & salmon roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=hgaHArXIAwIbPaJjQRVdZw) - Spicy maguro, avocado, sea salt, Sriracha aioli. Enjoyed this too. Main, shared 3. Big Island Loco Moco (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=xC904b9SWWc1FtfHD25L0w) - Fried egg, crispy onion, oyster mushroom sauce. This was a miss for me as the burger was cooked well done as the egg was also on the done side ( no runny yolk). Most importantly for me, the gravy was not memorable. Main 4. Roy's Bento Box, Japanese-style misoyaki butterfish (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=jt8Bswr7nobtfEM9w49v9w) - Furikaki rice, sashimi of the day, daily appetizer, salad, miso soup; the miso soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=YRQlvSSHEEnEykz1fINVIg) was a generous bowl and extremely tasty. The appetizer was fried fish for my meal which was just okay. The butterfish for the bento is grilled, more similar to the Oahu version but a step below flavor wise and in freshness. Two of our fellow diners ordered the meal version of the butterfish which is prepared differently, seemingly steamed and coming with a dashi broth. I would likely order that over the bento one when visiting again. Dessert, shared 5. "Melting Hot" Chocolate cake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=iuXdoxrXB2SjCZfRwV63ig) - Served hot from the oven with raspberry-vanilla swirl ice cream. This was delicious and there was no mistaking the cake was oozing and gooey with chocolate. Surprisingly, our party enjoyed this even more than the one at Hawaii Kai. The dining room was only about a third full, mostly couples enjoy the beautiful view of the beach and ocean, while many chose to dine outside with the beautiful late summer weather. Big thanks to Jesse who tended to our needs and offered menu suggestions. The gals at the hostess stand were very friendly in taking our group photos by the entrance. This was a great way to close our trip and glad to enjoy the view, atmosphere, and friendly service along with good food. Just temper your expectations if you're comparing it to the flagship in Hawaii Kai.

    Lakanilu roll, seared wagyu with crab, asparagus and avocado.
    Joel S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've probably been here 20 times and always enjoyed the view and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What I have learned is that some dishes are better than others. Last night stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the Lakanilu roll with seared Wagyu. It sounds better than it really is, I found the wagyu cold and tough. As usual the signature hot chocolate cake is outstanding.

    Ask the Community - Roy's at Pebble Beach

    Are jeans allowed as long as they are nice and we are dressed nicely?

    Absolutely no problem

    Can we wear our golfing outfit if we are dining straight after playing, or will we need to change into a nicer outfit?

    Of course, wear your golf clothes. Roy's is a nice, but not a pretentious restaurant. You will be totally comfortable in your golf attire.

    Is the patio dining dog friendly?

    Yes, but make sure to call and check how long the wait is, as they don't take reservations for the patio and it does fill up on weekends due to the gorgeous view. A couple that was behind us with a dog was told it was over an hour and a half wait on… 

    How often can you get a table by showing up without a reservation?

    We showed up at the restaurant midweek around 2 PM and there were only 2-3 other tables occupied. We did not have a reservation. Cannot comment on peak lunch hour or dinner time.

    What is the dress code?

    Resort casual

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes. Ask your waiter & they'll either give you a paper one or tell you. I believe they have cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, pb&j

    Lobster roll in the menu?

    There's a lobster sandwich on the current (updated July 1) lunch menu. It's not on the dinner menu.

Then after a day of hiking and relaxing by the coast, you can shimmy up a few ways to Fishwife for lunch or dinner. The first two times I came I sat in the patio area with my dogs. They have like 4-5 picnic tables with umbrellas. They also have fire pits that are iffy as some reliably work and others maybe not. Inside there is also plenty of seating in the dining area as well as the bar too. It's got that rusting seaside charm and wide windows. I started with the clam chowder which is always good here. Then I ordered the surf and turf -medium rare which was juicy. They give you a big whopper of a steak topped with a rich mushroom sauce and like 5 or 6 prawns. It comes with a baseball sized amount of yummy mashed potatoes and a few veggies. I tried the Schied white wine from Monterey but it tasted a bit stale like it's been sitting around for a long time already. No problems with Service as it is prompt.

The texture and flavor were just... not good. I would rather get the chowder in a cup/bowl to save some money

    We are visiting from out of town and asked our AI assistant, Gemini, for a sushi spot in the area…read morethat offered great freshness and value without breaking the bank. Gemini nailed it by recommending Züm Sushi as the top match. If you are looking for a flashy, high-end tourist trap, this isn't it. But if you want a cozy, casual atmosphere, great service, and excellent portions for the price, this place is a gem. We came in to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. The sushi chefs were incredibly warm, and when they heard it was our milestone, they unexpectedly treated us each to a side of tempura shiso spicy tuna on the house. We ordered the 9-piece Deluxe Chef's Choice Nigiri (pictured in the boat). For a beachside town, the quality was great for the price, the fish was very fresh, and the portions were highly satisfying. If our travels ever bring us back to Monterey, we would definitely drop in again. Highly recommend if you want great sushi without the inflated resort prices!

    What a great little local spot! My wife and I were celebrating our minimoon with a nice sushi…read moredinner after a day on Cannery Row and fell in love with Züm right away. We sat at the bar and were immeditely introduced to the incredibly kind and easygoing sushi chefs behind the counter. They engaged in small talk before and after our meal, while also allowing us time to read the menu and later eat in our own company. It was sweet watching them interact with a regular who sat next to my wife and I at the bar, a musician who plays jazz at an Italian joint down the street every Thursday. He sang The Four Seasons under his breath and was happy to engage with his fellow barmates. We introduced ourselves and then he gave us marriage advice and told a couple jokes. It was one of the most pleasant little interactions we've had in awhile and felt so immersive to the local scene. The service and vibes were overall immaculate--not to mention the cozy nooks of a house-turned-Thai-turned-sushi restaurant giving it a homey feel. Then there was the sushi itself served on wooden boat platters. The scallop, bluefin, and fatty tuna sushimi were well portioned and buttery smooth. The Lover's Point and Seaside special roles were also fresh and savory. Best yet was the kindness of the owner himself, working the sushi bar and sharing rare samples of halibut fin when preparing our Hirame. I've never had such unique raw fish before and really appreciated him giving us that opportunity. The miso soup was beautifully balanced to kick it all off, too! Between the exemplary and kind service and top notch sushi, I cannot recommend it enough!
