    Reuben sandwich
    Karen A.

    We have eaten lunch at Gallery Cafe many times. We bike 17 mile drive and stop here for lunch. It's an awesome location, with beautiful views of the golf course and peek-a-boo ocean views. The outdoor terrace is especially nice on a warm day, like today. I have ordered almost everything on the menu and all of it is good to great. My go to is chicken quesadilla and hubs fave is the Reuben. These are both solid. Service is great here. If you order a soda, they are all about keeping your glass full. Thanks for that! We prefer to come to this restaurant over riding all the way into downtown Carmel, where prices are higher and the food isn't better. If you eat at the restaurant, your admission to 17 mile drive is comped. So there you go! Have a great lunch!

    We watched sunrise at Pebble beach today and went to Gallery Cafe for breakfast. We ordered omelet, Skilet, Blueberry shake and latte. Everything was delicious. Our server Ronald was very polite and handled our requests for substitutions. He is amazing. We chose the outside seating arena to watch the golfers play. The view is very beautiful from outside seating area.

    Celebrated my friends birthday with a breakfast before we all started our day. The food was yummy as usual; the experience was relaxing and filled with interesting conversations. Service was excellent as usual and Alexis was such warm energy that helped us honor our birthday guy!

    No wait and delicious entrees. The service was not timely but once the orders were in the food arrived about 20 minutes later. Very tasty fish tacos stuffed with fresh veggies and avocado, sour cream and pico on the side. The lunch special of tri-tip steak sandwich and fries was a hit with the perfect amount of peppers, onions and cheese. The kids meal was fries and grilled cheese which as received well. The breakfast menu is available all day and the choices were great!

    We ate a late breakfast on the outside balcony overlooking the putting green at Pebble Beach. It was a very nice experience and the food was delicious. Aidan was our server and gave us a lot of good recommendations on what to try. He was attentive and professional. Overall the service was excellent. The food was amazing. Two of us ordered the steak and eggs. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and accompanied well by the potatoes. The sauces were a great finish. Highly recommend this restaurant and it's an extra bonus if you get to sit outside on a nice day.

    Our go to stop when doing 17 Mile Drive. Nice place to stop and get a great lunch. Mango Lemonade Tuna Melt with a salad instead of fries Killer Club Sandwich Kids meals are big and can probably be shared ( Not pictured my kids were hungry )

    Salmon Caesar salad
    Debbie S.

    We came here a few weeks ago for lunch on a Monday. The restaurant has the feel of a diner and the menu pretty much matches that description. We were seated right away but we sat there for at least 15 minutes before anyone came to the table and acknowledged us. The server seemed friendly enough, it seemed as if the restaurant was understaffed on this day. We ordered some drinks that came pretty quickly, but after ordering the food it took forever to come to us. I had the salmon caesar salad and it was horrible. The salmon was very overcooked and dry as a bone. Instead of croutons on the salad the were slices of burnt garlic toast around the plate. This was the first time I've ever had a bad Caesar salad. Save yourself $27 and don't order this salad here. My husband had the had classic burger which he said was good. There are nicer restaurant at pebble beach with better food and service for the same price as this place. We will not be coming here again, we can get a better return for our money elsewhere.

    KILLER KLUB
    Ron R.

    This place has an excuse for not being good. We found it to be quite good and not too expensive. The outdoor deck could use better cover. It was nice overlooking the putting green and if lucky, hole one. We ordered CLASSIC CAESAR 4/5, FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH 4,5/5, and KILLER KLUB 4.5/5. Get the buttered garlic fries 5/5. Service is attentive. Solid beer and wine choices.

    All Beef American Hot Dog
    Isaac G.

    On our 17 mile drive we stopped here for lunch, a beautiful patio view and nice clean restaurant and restroom. Was about 30 minutes to close, service started kind of slowly & after the food was dropped off we weren't checked on again and had to flag someone down to get our check but the kitchen was on point all of our food came out at the same time, hot and correct. It was also really good I got a hot dog with pulled pork and bacon and the wife got the killer klub. The onion rings we super crunchy and the pulled pork was smoky and complimented the hot dog well. Would eat here again.

    After a beautiful time slowly taking in 17 Mile Drive, we stopped for a light lunch at the Pebble Beach resort. The Gallery is a nice café with both indoor & outdoor seating. We opted for outdoors. The soup of the day sounded unusual: corned beef vegetable, but boy, was it yummy. We also ordered wine by the glass. They deduct your $11.75 entrance fee for the Drive from the restaurant check.

    Made a pitstop at Gallery Cafe while on a coastal California road trip. All went according to plan as we entered 17 mile drive around 9am on Friday and were seated at Gallery Cafe by 9:30am. We decided on Gallery Cafe because of its casual lodge vibe. Also, pro tip: if you are looking to do the 17 mile scenic tour and want to avoid the entry fee (~$11.50), be sure to dine in 17 mile drive and mention that upon entering. We were seated pretty immediately and ordered some breakfast egg items. Food and coffee was good - relatively standard breakfast with well-sized portions. Our server made sure to have my coffee filled to the rim at all times. Overall, I'm glad to have checked off "dining at a restaurant on 17 mile drive" but not sure I'll do it again. It was a nice one time experience.

    Golf course
    Douglas K.

    Great view of the pebble beach fairway. COVID Measures: The Gallery Cafe has instituted several COVID19 Measures including limiting capacity, requiring customers to wear masks, etc. Location: Located right next to the Pebble Beach Golf Course, the Gallery Cafe is located perfectly for viewing the course, especially if you have an outdoor seat. Food/Drinks: On my visit, I ordered a refreshing raspberry lemonade. It was very simple, but surprisingly satisfying. Service: The service was pretty good. Takeaway: Visit for a view of the golf course.

You're hit with the smell of ramen the moment you walk in and it's a bit loud. I ordered to-go so I can't say much about the dine-in experience but it was nice that they had seating both inside and outside. I got the Mango Matcha Latte with soy milk which was great! The purée was sweet but not overly sweet and balanced out the matcha. I'm not a matcha snob so I can't tell you if it's high quality but I loved the color and it tasted rich. My only complaints are that the matcha was a bit bitter and this drink was $10. They charge $1 for soy or almond milk substitution so keep that in mind if you don't drink cow milk! Overall, I think it taste great but I feel like it should be around the $7-8 range instead of $10-11. This is definitely a touristy area so I was expecting higher prices.

When my +1 and I walked up on Monday morning, we signed their wait list about half a page full. Already aware of the possible of wait, I asked another couple up front if they had waited long. They told me (to my horror) for an hour. Fortunately, we arrived after the breakfast rush wave (about 10:30am) and were seated after waiting for about 10-15 minutes. We were seated at the back room which was nice. It was a little bit more quieter compared to the front room. It was well decorated to look like a quaint cottage. What stuck my attention was the lovely mural on its walls with pinches of humor. Hostess and waiters were friendly and service was very quick. We were in and out of the restaurant in 30 minutes from being seated to the bill. We picked the ye old breakfast with choice of sausage and a ye old sweet with sausage as well. The food was delicious. I also ordered a coffee and my mug was never empty during the meal. Would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Carmel. Even though I was fortunate, I'd probably try to put my name in the list early or avoid the rush.

I asked the employee about it, and he told me it was because of the raspberry syrup, which honestly made absolutely no sense. I went back to the counter and asked if I could just get an iced coffee instead. Rather than making a new drink, he said he could add more matcha powder to the cup I already had. He did that, and somehow my matcha went from being white to gray. At that point, I was already pretty frustrated. I finally just asked for an iced coffee because I was over it. They handed me a completely black iced coffee. So I essentially paid $6 for them to pour coffee and water over ice. By that point, I was genuinely so irritated hearing the two coworkers make jokes about doing better next time etc that I just walked out. I completely understand that mistakes happen, but the entire situation was handled so poorly. I tried multiple times to resolve the issue, and somehow I still ended up with a drink I didn't want, after wasting both my time and my money. $6 might not seem like a lot, but paying for something you didn't order and then having the situation handled this poorly is incredibly frustrating. Definitely not the experience I expected, and unfortunately, not one I'd want to repeat.

Free parking is plentiful near the Visitor Center and the walk to the building is less than 5 minutes passing by the pro shop and putting green. This restaurant is one of 3 others in that building and overlooks the 18th green with outside patio seating and inside too. Reservations are preferred but they also take walk ins which is what I did. From the lunch menu and recommendation of the waitress, I chose the fried chicken sandwich for $31 that also came with fries. I was seated inside next to their large lecture windows and could easily see the entire 18th hole from green to tee with the ocean in the background. Outside it was a little chilly (late August) but every table there had a small fire pit in its center for warmth. In about 10 minutes my food arrived. The sandwich was large and very good tasting with a large fried fillet and cabbage slaw, aoli and excellent butter pickles. Also the fries were hot salty and tasty. It was a very good lunch. Also, because I presented my gate receipt from the 17 mile drive of $12.50 I got that amount reduced off of my bill. Table service was very professional as you would expect from this very nice facility. Visiting The Bench was a nice experience with the food and views. I highly recommend!
