New American Restaurants near Seaside, CA

“Enjoyed a delicious and delightful meal at Maligne! We ordered the whole turbot, the little gems salad, and the milk bread. The salad was simple but perfectly dressed. The milk bread had a super light and airy texture and we enjoyed the smokiness from the grill. The turbot was the star of the show - really tender and buttery with crispy. We could tell that the kitchen paid fine attention to detail to every dish that got sent out!

The service was also excellent and contributed to the atmosphere. Waitstaff was super attentive and friendly and answered all of our questions. Loved Maligne and hope to be back!“

“This place is in the Embassy Suites- that’s important for info on atmosphere and finding it! Really nice ambiance- we ended up here as it was the only place open past nine and we had just gotten into town and needed dinner and drinks and got both here with very friendly service. You can sit away from the bar area if the hotel bar is hoppin’.Limited menu- but totally sufficient and nice representation of local produce.

Parking: Says paid parking only- we are t hotel guests so hoping for the best ?“

“Great buffet for students for like 13$ is a great deal, with a variety of food everytime.

Kid-friendliness: Kids have a good selection of food they'd enjoy

“Our visit to Stoke's Adobe last weekend produced the best meal I've had on The Peninsula in a decade! Restauranteur, Sarah Orr, has hit one out of the park. The dishes prepared by Executive Chef, Bryce Hansen, were flawless, my favorties being the seared scallops and truffle chicken. Loved the nod to former occupant and socialite, Hattie Gragg, with the inclusion of the Hattie's Old Fashioned on the cocktail menu :) Looking forward to our next visit and an opportunity to sample other items on their ever evolving menu.“

“Loved absolutely everything about this spot!! Not only is the food amazing, the drinks are delicious and the patio is perfect. They are also the most dog friendly spot I have ever experienced. Water bowls and a dog menu are provided for your meal if you bring your dog(s) with you. I had to take advantage and I’m pretty sure the dogs would give it 5+ stars as well. Heidi took care of us, but the whole staff came by and said hello and made myself and the dogs feel so welcome.
100⭐️’s if I could.
Thank you for being so welcoming!

“After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.“

“It is quite a treat!! Espectacular breaking waves Vew along with the tasting menu and wine pairing experience.. It is definitely a must when visiting Monterey CA..“

“Great food, atmosphere, and service“

“Best eggs Benedict. Always great service from Rosendo“

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a breath of fresh air in the Carmel culinary community. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. The space is refreshingly chic and relaxing. The tables are spaced apart to allow for conversation and there's no rush to finish your meal. You are encouraged to linger and enjoy the best meal in Carmel!“

“Oh my goodness, this is THE place! So happy we found it and ventured in! Will always remember out fantastic hosts Sue and Bill, and their lovely establishment. It is so much MORE than a restaurant, it is a place like home: warm, loving, caring and delicious!“

“Loved it’s previous incarnation, Crema, in Pacific Grove, love it still at Point Pinos. Friendly servers, good food.“

“Very nice place and people excellent food and service highly recommend“

“This place was magical from the second we walked through the turquoise-colored door with its old fashioned door knob. We had no reservation & we were coming from Fieldwork brewing (so my hubby really needed to eat). They had no spots available (reservations are nearly necessary here on Fri. & Sat. they informed us later). However, they promptly set up backyard heater & provided blankets for our quickly provided outdoor seating. We ordered 2 shots of mezcal (cause we were outside & it was kinda cold), which the manager informed us they only served the best ;) They sent out it a waitperson who informed us “I’ll be taking care of you tonight.” Which turned out to be true from the service to dinner/dessert recommendations, and packing up our leftover beans to take home. Eventually, they moved us inside because of a cancelation. And I haven’t even started on the carefully crafted cocktails & food. So meticulously crafted, and presented. I rarely favor restaurant food over my own cooking ability, but I can confidently say their food is way better than my own lol. Again, everything was beautiful, perfect, & delicious! Also, I’m thinking the line for coffee & morning eats at their sister bakery Alta can attest to amazing, soon to be Monterey culinary fixture. Thank you for the memorable night & dinner Cella! Cheers! And look forward to seeing you again.“

“I wanted to write the perfect review but I won't be able to do that. The people there were so nice and so warm. The location is in an old house in historic downtown Pacific Grove. But I can't let this go, the prices were high (as expected) and then they did the old trick of, "Did you want chorizo with that"....without telling you it's a $6 upcharge for two teaspoons added on top of your $17 plate of chiliquilies. So for $23, you get a full plate, I mean piled high of tortilla chips covered in a homemade red sauce (delicious). A table or teaspoonful of queso fresco per the recipe (delicious), two fried eggs, and sour cream on the side, (awesome). Most recipes for this dish that I've eaten will offer a choice of protein. Chorizo is a very common breakfast protein for this recipe. I would argue that it should be part of the recipe regardless but if you ask people, "Do you want chorizo on that?", many will say yes for the reasons I mentioned above. But when the bill comes watch out. It was a $6 upcharge to my $17 choice of breakfast. If it's an upcharge you have to tell me in advance. "Do I want it?", is one question. "Do I want it for the price you will charge me?", has to be a separate question. If it's some amount that high, an extra 1/3 of the price of my breakfast, then you shoudl feel extremely obligated to tell me how much. Don't make me feel like an a-hole bringing up your sketchy business upcharge practices to you in the middle of a super-packed breakfast/brunch rush when you hand me the bill. I didn't bring it up but I wanted to, very badly. As good as the meal was the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and more than a week later I'm still shaking my head about it. For a place that thrives on tourist and word-of-mouth business, there's no reason for this type of shady business antics which leads someone like me who otherwise really enjoyed this place to go to the trouble of leaving a bad review. I probably won't go back due to this.“

“The best for outdoor seating and views. Order a Pizza!“

“What an amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious - every single bite was perfect. Our server was funny, and smart and made great recommendations. The space was warm and welcoming. I couldn't believe what a gem it is, hidden away in Carmel Valley Village.“

“First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.“

“Great piano bar! Awesome lemon drops😃“

“Happy hour rolled into dinner and both were delicious !“

“Delicious Eggs Benedict. I’ll go again.“

“Never fails to give great food and service.“

“Jeffrey's is the place for brunch in the Monterey Bay. Way better than From Scratch, the same/slightly better than Katie's Place but half the price, better than First Awakenings, better than Bayonet, Crema, Monterey Plaza, Bernardus, even the Lodge at Pebble Beach (although not as decadent). The lobster omelette on the special menu is to die for! Crab cake bene is awesome, really so are all their benes. We live in Aromas and sometimes make the drive just to eat here. We've been eating here for 3 1/2 years and love it!“

“For apps ordered the endive salad and tuna. Beautiful presentation and so delicious! Michelin rated. For dinner had the branzino which was amazing.
The food was outstanding. The servers need some training. A warmer welcome and better walk thru their favorites on the menu and some conversation. It was very transactional for this resort setting. But that wouldn’t keep me from coming back again and recommending.“

“I Deliver doordash and I have been in there many times and it always smells good . I'm from SF and love Asian foods. I have tried 5 places in the Monterey area since moving here, and they have been ok , only 1 has been excellent...tonight I tried Full Moon, and I have to scream out ...finally!!!! First of all I didn't check closing time and walked in right on the dot at closing wanting to be seated. The people there very sweetly explained that they were closed but I could order something from takeout. I order the house Chow mein and spring rolls. Omg this is what it is supposed to taste like. The perfect amount of spice and flavor, the noodles and meats all perfect the sauce is almost creamy and has real pieces of vegetables. So good; The spring rolls too!!! Light and crispy and flavor full with nice pieces of everything inside. And the prices are great. A little less than most In The area. But what stood out to me the most was, they looks exhausted from the day and eager to go home but they served me with a smile and were very gracious while I waited. I really felt like I was in a nice restaurant, and it felt like a dining experience, and I didn't even dine in. I am very pleased and will be back!!!“

“Absolutely fabulous! Servers, including Rodney, outstanding. Food, exquisite deliciousness...one of their Specialties: Lobster Gnocchi. Will return for the same. It was a perfect dining experience. Sorry no photos, was so into the moment ...“

“You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.

Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.

A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.

But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.

We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.

The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!“

“One of my favorite places to go for dinner or a nice lunch. I even had my birthday dinner here just recently. The staff is always so kind and attentive. Plus the food is delicious! I always get one of their yummy flatbread pizzas or their amazing burger! They also have a wonderful bartender because the Strawberry Mojitos are always dangerously delicious. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with anything you order. They also serve the best Strawberry salad! The vibes are super chill and very comfortable. You can choose to sit inside or outside on their patio. Also very reasonably priced.“

“Gorgeous!! I came to the ranch for a conference, and will definitely be coming back again. Could not ask for more lovely scenery, more activities (hiking! golf! archery!), or more considerate staff.“

“We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at Carmels Hidden Gem after a suggestion from the owner while eating at Yafa ( another 5⭐️!) are we glad we did, it was one of our favorite meals so far in Carmel. Best breakfast by far. Dia, the owner, waited on us with gracious hospitality. It was hard to choose from the menu as everything sounded wonderful. I don’t think you could go wrong. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The roasted white corn waffle and the Swedish pancakes were a hit. My husband said his eggs Benedict were the best he had ever had. We will definitely return, as this is a must while in Carmel.“

“This is a Real Gem a few tables, clean, nicely decorated, the food is always fresh and sources from great places, seasonal, from appetizer to main course Amir and his team are very attentive, friendly and patient. Nice wine list, the home baked bread is so tempting you can't stop eating. The meat and seafood is so fresh and cooked to perfection. A locals secret place always a pleasure to return“

“Cool ambience, exceptionally nice service!���“

“This bar is the type of clubby leather clad place that is perfect for a “final final”. The bartenders give great service and there is a wide selection of scotches and bourbons and cognac. There are also several televisions and they serve a limited menu of pub food. Sit by the fireplace and relax after fighting the winds at Spanish Bay.“

“Great service and food!! Fast service and cozy atmosphere“

“Great light and healthy food❤️“

“Fabulous food! Great wine and outstanding service! I can’t wait to come back“

“Very delicious pasta! The soup and salad are also very good and you can order them on the menu along with a pizza or pasta of your choice. The oil that they bring you along with the bread at the entrance is also very good. The atmosphere is quite quiet and there is space to park outside and the service was very fast.“

“Highly recommend, great vibes, Carmel modern style, extremely clean, great small plates to eat and relax. Fire pits outside to make it cozy, relaxing yet romantic. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
