Salmon special
Alex L.

Went to Carmel this weekend with my wife and daughter, found this nice little restaurant and decided to try it. The outside looks amazing, really homey, the service was great. Everyone was smiling and service was quick and the food came out in a reasonable time. I had the Alfredo, my daughter the salmon special and the wifey spinach artichoke racioli. Food was good, had good taste and passed the salt test, meaning I didn't have to add any :) Definitely recomend if you visit Carmel, good experience.

Side of eggs and side ham
Val M.

We had dinner here the night before, starting with the garlic bread as an appetizer which didn't disappoint. I ordered the French dip, and my husband had the sausage sandwich. The French dip was one of the best I've had, especially because of the au jus--you could taste the authenticity. The same goes for the sausage sandwich. You can just tell many of the dishes are made in-house. Family photos are throughout the restaurant, and it's clear this is a family-owned business. The same people in the photos are the ones behind the counter, working hard and serving the holiday crowd with kindness. The food felt so homestyle and delicious that we came back for breakfast the next morning. We'll definitely be returning the next time we're back in PG.

Cobb Salad

Aliotti's Victorian Corner restaurant has been a staple in the Pacific Grove community for over 40 years. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday in a well-maintained, beautiful Victorian building. The interior is warm and welcoming with plenty of seating for individual diners or groups. There is also a nice patio out in front of the building to enjoy a coffee or meal where one's fur babies are welcome. They have three large, diverse, multiple menus which offer diners to choose from many of Aliotti's specialties and classic selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For lunch, we enjoyed their Dutch Treat sandwich and a Cobb Salad. The Dutch Treat consists of ham & Swiss cheese on a warm French roll. The sandwich was large with a substantial amount of ham. It was served with a fresh green salad and perfectly cooked French fries which were crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside. Everything was delicious. Their Cobb Salad was plentiful with avocado, bacon chunks, hard-boiled eggs, turkey, tomatoes topped with blue cheese sprinkles over a bed of lettuce. I opted for ranch dressing on the side. One could taste how fresh all the ingredients were. Presentation perfect. The staff was extremely warm & friendly and attentive yet not imposing.

Chicken fried steak with eggs
Alma R R.

Breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend this place, the food was so fresh and delicious. The sever was really nice greeted us once we came in. Very small town breakfast place, it was nice and quiet since it was early in the morning.

What to do with that extra hour when we "fall back", especially when it is a beautiful warm November day? Go out to brunch down at Pacific Grove and enjoy it at a leisurely pace when there are more locals than tourists. The weather was beautiful to enjoy a flavorful corn beef hash with poached eggs and Eggs Florentine Benedict outside under the Victorian facade of the house. The food and service were excellent and so enjoyable, returned just a few months later for the crab cake benedict from their special's menu and a meatball sandwich from their lunch menu under beautiful blue skies once again. Only note is I didn't see a price for the crab cake benedict so was surprised that it was over $30 when the receipt came. But I would definitely return, just maybe not for the crab cake benedicts unless I want a splurge. This spot is definitely worthy of my 1400 review and to take my childhood friend from back East for her favorite meal, brunch, the third time dining indoors. They must be doing something right if I am here 3 times in less than 6 months.

Crab bene spinach omelette; no garnish or love
Todd P.

Super friendly staff and great location. ... back in the day the food and ambiance had a locals only vibe and family owned. Sadly, the food is not bad but not much better than and ihop etc. Crab Benedict and spinach delight omelet did the job but not well enough to return.

Small stack Victorian French toast
Hannah D.

Food - spectacular. Service - amazing. Orange sauce - delicious. The inside and outside are beautiful and cozy! Honestly you should stop reading this review and just go here!! :) also they offer a 3.5% discount if you use cash to pay. We will def be coming back for many years to come!

Eggs Benedict with fruit substituted for potatoes.
Anne H.

Visited yesterday and they were absolutely lovely about accommodating our two dogs (one service dog, one not). Ate out on the patio and it was just beautiful! I ordered the eggs beneficial but substituted fresh fruit for the potatoes and look at this fruit presentation! I mean...a work of art, and all of the fruit was perfectly fresh and sweet. My family ordered the same dish with potatoes, and the French Dip sandwich which was seasoned well and not just boiled meat on a bun, a risk you sometimes take with French Dip. Service was impeccable. You can see the care they take in everything. We will be back.

Bacon eggs hash browns and sourdough toast
Jennifer D.

In my humble opinion, this is the best breakfast place in Pacific Grove! The spinach quiche is my favorite item along with the hashbrowns. The staff is so nice and helpful and you feel like you're part of the family. There is always a table or two of locals, and you can tell this is a ritual with them from the familiarity and joking with the staff. Don't miss this gem! And did you know that there is also a vacation suite above the restaurant that you can rent? Three bedroom and full kitchen! Lots of street parking, Pro tip: order the sourdough toast and bring a sweater as sometimes it can be cold when the door opens in winter, if you're seated nearby.

Great food with large portions
Mark B.

This is a small family run and owned restaurant. The staff is friendly, service is excellent and they are dog friendly! The food is amazing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owners Mary and Dom are the BEST!!

Sherry W.

We went on a Friday for lunch. We had good service. I ordered the soup and sandwich. I opted for the tuna salad sandwich without bread and the cup of split pea soup. Both were tasty, but a very small Portion for the price! With tip and tax it was over $23 and I was still hungry. My friend had a Reuben sandwich that was tasty and served with a side salad and fries. Her Reuben with a glass of wine cost $47! Easy free street parking is available.

Eggs Benedict
Joyce P.

Went here for Sunday breakfast. There is a lot of staff and they need it because it gets busy. I had a yummy blood orange mimosa and THE BEST homemade ham quiche I've ever had. I think it was 2 inches thick and so light and fluffy. Sorry about the photo (half-eaten) I just dove in as soon as it was in front of me and forgot the photo.

Our meal- Three Cheese Ravioli, Cheese Bread with a House Salad.  Delicious!
Chet D.

After a long day exploring 17 Mile Drive and Highway one along Big Sur we wanted a good meal. We drove into quaint downtown Pacific Grove and past the Victorian Corner Restaurant. It looked inviting, so we checked out the menu - with a good variety of choices at reasonable prices - and decided to go in. We were seated promptly and reviewed the specials, the beverage menu, and the dinner menu. I chose a local red blend wine while my wife had a Paso Robles Chardonnay. The server came back after a few minutes, and we placed our order. I ordered the three cheese ravioli with the homemade marinara sauce. We shared an order of the daily special toasted cheese bread and my wife ordered the house salad. I can say the ravioli was delicious. Likely the best I've ever had. Apparently their homemade raviolis with a blend of three cheeses. The texture was just right and often times I find marinara sauce can either be underwhelming or overpowering. It was perfectly balanced. What's the topping of fresh Parmesan and shredded basil. My wife enjoyed her salad with mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and croutons and on the side, blue cheese dressing. Last but not least the cheese bread had four slices thinly sliced sourdough with a perfect blend of butter and melted cheese. Truly delicious! We enjoyed the meal so much we asked to review the breakfast menu with the likelihood that we'll be back in the morning!

Fun drinks to start

The spot is a cute little restaurant, parking can be hard but you can find some in the neighborhood behind the shop. We were seated right away, service was great and the food was fantastic.

Noodles were perfectly al dente. Great sauce and a good amount of clams! It was slightly too salty, but nothing I couldn't handle. I also ordered the grilled octopus. Disappointed it was only one tentacle, but the flavor was great. It was tender! We had a party of 10. David and the other servers made it a great dining experience. No messed up orders and when it came to paying for our tab, David handled it well. Gratuity added for parties more than 6 and they do not split checks. They will take as many forms of payment, which was kind of confusing.
