Best Cozy Restaurants in Pebble Beach

Fabulous meal with incredibly gracious service. Perfect venue for a birthday celebration!!

Everything was wonderful - food, wine, ambiance, and especially service. One tiny quibble was that they did not dumb the table between dinner and dessert, but maybe they were slightly understaffed that night. Our server was otherwise perfectly attentive and knowledgeable!

We love Mission Bistro restaurant. We go there every time we are in Carmel. The food is consistently good, as is the service. We were recently there for lunch just a couple of days ago. We had the muscles. Those are fantastic. The broth is amazing. We had the burger and the chicken sandwich. Both are very tasty and very large. We had leftovers, and those were good the next day as well. I do recommend taking the pickles off the sandwich as they can overpower the flavor if you're not a huge pickle lover. They periodically have a housemade blue cheese wedge on the menu, it's a delicious salad with a zesty blue cheese dressing. I've also had their salmon dish several times, and that has always been very tasty.

Dinner at Portabella was perfect; from the cozy atmosphere, a warm greeting when we arrived, wonderful service from Veronica, and undoubtedly some of the best food in Carmel, our experience was fantastic. As a part-time resident of our beautiful city, I am so happy to have this gem of a restaurant be better than ever!!

The food was excellent, homemade fresh pasta and delicious sauces. Would definitely return for the food; however, the noise level was horrible. It’s a small, quaint place with only a few tables inside and we were seated next to a large party (which took up 85% of the dining room) who were loud, rude, and drunk. The food was lovely but our table couldn’t even hear eachother or the waitress. If you go, request to sit outside or your ears will be ringing by the end of your meal!
