Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Pebble Beach

Have enjoyed this restaurant for several years. Very good service—our waiter was wonderful Well-prepared food that is attractively presented. Extensive wine list. A terrific place for celebrating a special occasion although a bit pricey.

We had a wonderful dinner and it was a great way to end our day in Monterey. My grand baby celebrated her 5th birthday and loved everything. Our server was awesome and very attentive on such a busy night.

So much to love here! First, we hit bad traffic coming south on Hwy 1, and the restaurant was extremely gracious about pushing back our (lunch) reservation. Second, the menu has something for everyone. My husband tried the special salmon sandwich on brioche and was in heaven. I had the duck confit salad on frisee with a poached egg and mustard vinaigrette. So good. I say this as someone who loves bitters greens, but having both radicchio and endive was a lot of bitter. Wouldn't have minded more frisee and maybe some croutons? Now, we have to talk about the fries. The server gave us a hint that they are extraordinary, AND THEY ARE! I'm considering driving back to Carmel just to get a plate of those fries. (Didn't try the sweet potato fries.) Thank goodness my husband shared them with me. Here's the only drawback: parking in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Next time, we'll try to find something on the outskirts of town and walk into town. Would have been faster and we could have worked off a few fries.

This place was outstanding! The food was great & the service was even better! We came for our anniversary and got treated with Prosecco just as we arrived! Jacob was very attentive about the menu and made our experience great! We would come back to Carmel just to eat here again!

Basil is our go-to place. Always consistent. Great menu. Welcoming and hospitable. We've never had a bad meal and every time we take guests they have a wonderful experience.
