    Maybe one of the best golf course restaurants in the world. The atmosphere, the views of Pebble Beach, the friendly wait staff, & the incredible food. Great beers on tap and four large screen TV so you can watch the PGA championship while you eat before or after golf.

    Amazing drive to get here, nachos, wait staff, and VIEW! A must when visiting Carmel. Make a reservation so you can get into Pebble Beach. Put and play!

    Sopa de Tortilla

    Delicious food-- we came and the guys played on the green while we ladies ate the amazing queso and waited for our entrees. The view and the food was well worth the wait. Staff were friendly. Some of the outdoor seating maybe could use a bit more shade, but the view was unmatched. Definitely coming back.

    Food is always delicious, service superb!! This place is almost always packed so make sure to book your date but walk ins are good too. We walked in today and luckily got a table right away.

    Gorgeous spot

    Gorgeous place with a huge outdoor patio complete with fire pits. Even on a cold winter night, everyone stayed warm enough. About 1/3 of the seats seem to be indoors but outside is so nice. Everyone in my group enjoyed their food, especially those of us who ordered enchiladas. My "seafood trio" of assorted enchiladas in the different sauces was fantastic. All delicious but the lobster was the standout, of course! Pricey but this is PB. Nice place, good service, quality food. You get what you pay for!

    Tin Can Nachos

    Service was great! Would highly recommend the nachos and quesadilla! My reason for dropping a star is because the fiesta bowl is labeled as vegetarian on the menu however we found out from the server it is not in fact vegetarian because the Spanish rice is cooked with chicken oil/broth. Our server was great about letting us know the various allergens on the menu and also accommodating my vegetarian diet. Would definitely eat here again!

    This place is so amazing. The tin can nachos are a must order - beware they are huge so don't order too many other things. All of the meat and seafood is perfectly cooked. The service was great, every server is extremely attentive and they know the menu inside out. The views are perfect as well. Highly recommend

    Beautiful view, great service and delicious food! Eight of us on a bicycle ride stopped for lunch on a Wednesday. The place was packed but we had a reservation for an outside table. We were quickly seated and our personable and efficient server arrived immediately. Everything we ordered was great but my Fajitas were outstanding! I ordered the steak medium rare and it arrived perfect. The scrimp was plump, sweet and nicely cooked. Plentiful sautéed onions and peppers and a nice side set up with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc. as well as yummy rice and black beans. The view is absolutely stunning and the food matches it!

    First time visiting, great food, beautiful scenery, friendly attentive service. It's located between the first tee and the putting green of The Hay golf course at Pebble Beach. We enjoyed Tin Can Nachos, Roasted Elote, Ceviche de Sol & The Pescado Tacos. There are no umbrellas outside, so if you're looking for shade, request the inside, although there are no doors, it's all open to the outside. Make reservations ahead of time.

    We had a good time dining at Hays place. My advice is to make a reservation, we had one and were seated right away. The view is super pretty and the food was very good. Make sure you keep your 17mi dr entrance receipt so you can be reimbursed by the restaurant staff and your 17mi dr trip is basically free.

    This was a perfect lunch spot for our group after a lovely day exploring 17 mile Drive and Pebble Beach! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with incredible views of the greens as well as the ocean! Food came out quickly, especially the tin can nachos and was perfect for sharing! The best item we tried was the Birria tacos along with the nachos! Very accommodating to large groups and had high chairs for a little ones! As well as crayons and kids menus. Parking is easy with lots just across from the restaurant! Next time, we'll plan ahead and get a teatime on a short par three course.

    Tacos
    Tanya D.

    This place is fantastic!! The service is 5 STAR!!! We were greeted by the hostess at the stand and she sat us at a table right away with a beautiful view! Our server was very attentive. We ordered margaritas - strong and tasty. We started with guacamole to share. And then we decided to get some tacos to share as well. As I was eating mine, he noticed the taco was falling apart. He said "that definitely shouldn't happen, so save room for dessert, it's on me." So kind of him. And it was amazing!!! So glad we did save some room, lol! We had a great time visiting Pebble Beach and the extraordinary service made it even better :)

    Highly recommend making a reservation, they get pretty busy. We really enjoyed the Tin Can Nachos, and had a few cocktails. I had the toasted tini, it was a creamy espresso martini with marshmallows and it was soo good! Food wise, I ordered the Catch of the Day tacos which was Rock Cod and it was pretty tasty. The staff were all nice, just again slightly busy. Overall enjoyed !!

    This is an amazing Vegan restaurant. I was in the area for the day and found this place. I haven't…read morebeen to many Mexican restaurants with any vegan options let alone a full Vegan menus. It took our party (8 people) a while to decide as we were spoiled with choices. But we had time as it was pretty busy for a Friday around 1. I ended up getting the carne asada nachos and the aqua Fresca that they had that day (mango and watermelon I think). Both were absolutely spectacular. The picture included might not show the best scale but I had 2 others helping me to eat this plate and otherwise I would not have been able to finish it (even as a larger man). The crunchy jalapeños with the chips, beans and guacamole were the perfect balance. As a meat eater, the texture of the faux meat was a touch odd, but the flavor more than made up for it. The staff was helpful and attentive even as they were balancing supporting customers, answer phone orders, and taking regular orders. My wife and will definitely be stopping by here more often!!

Amigo, you are driving…read morecustomers away with this station and maybe that's how it should be- your mission to expand Christianity will lower your customer base and hurt your profits and allow you to pay less people. It's cool I'm sure your employees want less pay, less hours, and to listen to this all shift, every shift. And we know: the power of Christ Compels You to spread God's ideas despite what the heretics say. You're righteous, we get it. But you make amazing food, and are doing amazing things for the Mexican Community and the Vegan Community (and with that, the innocent animals of this world). Someone, somewhere down the line helped inspire the business decisions you are making right now. Maybe let this help you too. I moved to Santa Cruz the same year you opened and have been visiting 8-10 times a year since. Your menu continues to be extensive, and this last visit your cheeses weren't even as gooey as they had been (in the past the vegan cremes and cheeses were on the heavy side, but our 4 meals were all great yesterday.) We do know to order over the phone, because your line is slow, the options take a long time to explain, and the preparation is often a long process too. So we ordered ahead. Then got told we couldn't do that and would have to leave, but we had kids so you said this time was ok. After being scolded, we counted 26 seats. We took up 4 of them. Lots of available seating, and four smiling vegans in your restaurant, being cute (daughters 1 and 4) and writing 5 star reviews and spending maybe $5k there over my lifetime. Chill with the condescension, your service is slow AF sometimes. Everyone knows it and talks about it. We are seasoned and know to order ahead now. It's what we're going to do, while we continue to give you our money, while you consistently take a long time to get food to us if we order in store. Hopefully you stick around forever! Hopefully you change your horrifying radio station- but maybe God upstairs' opinion is more important than your customers. Gobbless

Every single dish we ordered was amazing -- you can really tell the kitchen is being led with care and creativity. A special thank you to the new Executive Chef, Jake Behnke. Even though the restaurant was very busy, he still took the time to come out and greet us, which made the evening feel extra special. That kind of hospitality really stands out and meant a lot to us. The wait staff was very friendly and welcoming. Because they were so busy, it did take a little while to get our drink and food order in, but the staff remained attentive and kind throughout the night, and the food was absolutely worth the wait. Overall, a great dining experience and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The bread and butter that it is served with it is very good. We ordered more, not realizing it was not complimentary. Oops that's another $12. Though pricey for a bread basket, I would order again. The ceaser salad was a good size and very flavorful. It's even topped with fresh sardines. Probably the best one I had 10/10 I ordered the black cod and though it looked burnt, it was just blackened and extremely flaky and juicy. The noodles served with it was good. 8/10 Crab cakes-need more flavor. Would not order again 3/10 Steak frites- 8/10 the sauce used in the steak is yummy and the fries were cooked to perfection. Beef cheek-there is a LOT going on that plate. The beef was good, but I thought it was too many ingredients mixed together 5/10. The meal seemed heavy. The bday girl was treated to a slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake looked good, but, it was pretty dry. 3/10 All in all, I rate this 4 stars.

The bacon cheeseburger was really good, the Caesar salad was a solid classic, and the fried chicken dinner was hearty and satisfying with two large pieces of chicken plus sides. The banana cream pie has a spin on it. I love the brûléed bananas. What stood out the most, though, was the service. My family is in the restaurant business, so I tend to have pretty high standards when it comes to hospitality and customer service. Our server, Razi, was truly excellent. He had the perfect balance of friendly and professional, made great recommendations, checked in often, and made sure we had everything we needed. At one point, I was feeling a little lightheaded, and he immediately brought me a cold towel and made sure my water glass stayed full so I could stay hydrated. That level of attentiveness really stood out to me. He was fast, efficient, customer-focused, and brought such positive energy to the restaurant. So many restaurants struggle these days with finding employees who seem trained, experienced, and genuinely engaged -- Razi was the complete opposite. He was outstanding. I even made a point to share positive feedback with the owner before leaving because great employees deserve recognition. I honestly could see Razi managing this restaurant -- or another one -- someday. As a fun side note, we also learned he's a singer/rapper, which somehow perfectly matched his great personality and energy. Really memorable experience overall.
