    Aperol Spritzer & lentil soup
    Deana M.

    This has to be our favorite place for dinner when we are in Carmel. The food is always good, the drinks are perfect, and the service is on point. We just love how comfortable and classic the dining is here. It is one of our must visit restaurants when we are here. The lounge area is also fabulous!!

    Highly recommend Terry's! Every single thing that my friends and I ordered at Terry's restaurant and lounge for dinner was delicious. We were all so thrilled by the experience and we cannot wait to come back soon! I posted many pictures detailing all our orders. This place is dog-friendly - we loved seeing all the dogs and the dog menus! It was so special. The service was super friendly, and we loved the outdoor ambience where we were sitting warm with the heat lamps. This place has it down!

    Good food and prices are great for the area. We would definitely come back. Service was great, not pretentious like some places. We come to this city once a year and always try new dog friendly places since The Forge closed down.

    We ordered 4 of the most popular dishes (shrimp scampi, sand dabs, chicken picatta and short ribs) and ell of them were delicious! The shrimp scampi amhas a subtle taste and you can taste the freshness of the shrimp. The short ribs was very tender and the mashed potatoes that came with it was made to perfection! The sand dabs of course is always a great choice. We also ordered their fresh apple cobbler. It was perfectly sweet therefore if you're expecting it to be smothered with brown sugar and cinnamon, this is not how it's served. Our group loved it! Their house red wine for $9 is a great choice as well! The staff are very attentive. DOG FRIENDLY! They allow dogs in their restaurant and outdoor patio.

    Dog friendly indoor motel lounge! Service and ambiance were great. All the staffs were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the happy hour specials in a beautiful lounge. We enjoyed glasses of wine with some bar snacks. The green hummus appetizer is a healthy and yummy treat. I would skip the meatballs next time.

    Salmon, mushroom risotto, and asparagus special!

    This was a fun experience with my little 5 pound baby! I ordered off the pups menu for her first experience and when her food arrived it was enough for a Great Daneneedless to say she had food for another 4 days! I ordered the special that night which was Salmon, mushroom risotto, and asparagus. It was over the moon excellent! This place was fun watching all the dogs coming in and made great conversation with others. Definitely will be back! The staff were amazing and super attentive! Great experience overall!

    I actually dined here for dinner on my last night in town. I sat outside and the courtyard is very cute and quaint. I was by myself so I didn't order much but the server was still very attentive. I got fries, soup and an order of the stuffed mushrooms. I did not like the mushrooms as there was a grainy texture but I sent them back and the staff was very gracious. They had live music and I had a very nice experience.

    We stayed at the Cypress-Inn and we ended up eating dinner at Terry's mostly every night that we were there because it was just so convenient that it was at the hotel. The food was good and they were so nice and accommodating to our 75 lbs Bernedoodle that we just decided to keep eating there for the comfort and convenience. The outdoor space had heaters so it was okay sitting outside even though it was cold. They had a good amount of food varieties for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is free if you are a hotel guest. They had hot breakfast serving eggs, bacon, sausages and pastries. Since we were there a lot, the staff already knew to bring out the condiments we wanted without asking for it anymore. They also have a dog menu for lunch and dinner which was great because we wanted to include our little pup with every meal that we had at Terry's. Overall, I would eat at Terry's again when I return to Carmel.

    We had dinner tonight at Terry's Place at The Cypress Inn. The atmosphere is classy, yet casual and dogs are welcome inside and out. There is even a dog menu if your pup is hungry. We passed on the dog menu even though it included Nathan's hot dogs and burgers! For dinner we started with the Prawn Martini- 5 poached prawns with spicy horseradish cocktail sauce which was very good. We also had the special Butternut Squash soup that my husband proclaimed, "delicious." We followed this with mains- Shrimp Scampi- wild shrimp sauteed in garlic butter, diced tomato, red pepper flakes, and fresh parmesan over linguini. We also had the Monterey Sand Dabs that were breaded and pan-seared with a tarragon cream sauce and fingerling potatoes, carrots, and asparagus. For dessert we enjoyed the vanilla bean gelato with chocolate sauce. Service was very efficient and friendly. Since we love the Cypress Inn, we will definitely be back!

    Chicken piccata
    Kaitlyn A.

    The food was delicious best I've ever had. We ordered the chicken piccata and the Monterey San dabs. It was mouth watering, hot, and fresh. The French martini was nice. Customer service was great! Very friendly and fast. The outside seating area was so pretty they had an umbrellas to keep the sun out of our faces. However, the people next to us had loud dogs so you might have the same problem when going. Overall, it was awesome and I can't wait to go back again!

    The perfect burger and fry combo
    Michael T.

    What a hidden gem inside Cypress Inn. We stayed at the Cypress Inn so we ate here often. They had a Christmas Day pre-fix that was amazon and what stood out the most was their burgers. We ended up getting it twice for room service. I never knew perfect fries existed until this place. Give them a go and make sure to bring your pups!!

    Complementary Birthday gelato.. beautiful presentation ...

    Food, ambiance, and service amazing!! Our waitress was perfectly attentive and made the evening extra special..

    Located in the Cypress Inn, this is like a local hangout and visitors . Great vibe, very busy, great service. I loved the bar area, where there are also dining tables also. They have a great cocktail list, we loved their espresso martinis. Made Perfectly, a great pre or post dinner drink. They also serve food, but we just came here pre dinner for the espresso's, and we did have the truffle fries and the hummus dip with pita which were both great. They have live music several days of the week, we loved the singer the night we went, sang alot of classics and you can get up and dance too. Every part of this place is dog friendly. Which to me was kinda annoying as I'm not dog friendly lol. Many drinking spots other than the bar, you can order drinks in the room where they have the music, out on the patio. A lot of people were just mingling walking around. Great location near all restaurants and town. Go have a espresso martini here!

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 vibe lands in that sweet spot of upscale casual without crossing into fine dining, comfortable but elevated. Highly recommend if you're passing through Carmel. We'll definitely be back.

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.

They have a pretty extensive menu of food and drinks. The food is pretty standard bar fare, but with no shortage of options. The drink selection is quite varied as well, with a good selection of beers on tap. Service has always been exemplary when I've been here - the staff is friendly, fun, and have the gift of quickly remembering their return visitors, which really makes Links feel like a welcoming spot. Food and drinks come out quickly, and my beer glass was rarely empty without the staff coming up and offering another round! Links also has several large golf simulator areas, where you and your friends can practice your swing while playing a number of games against a large virtual projector screen. Add on top of all this the regular rotation of live music and karaoke, and you've got an excellent sports bar that should be on anyone's list who's looking for a fun, casual, energetic sports bar in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The whole experience felt like a restaurant coasting on Carmel's tourist traffic rather than actually trying. I suspect this is a symptom of what's happened to Carmel post-COVID. They got high volume of tourists, small pool of service industry workers, and restaurants that know they can get away with overcharging for subpar food because people will come anyway. It's sad to see. Carmel used to be a place where you could count on quality. Little Napoli felt like a tourist trap that happens to be in a beautiful town.

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
