We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience today, made truly exceptional by Lloyd. He treated my parents--both in their 80s--with remarkable kindness, patience, and genuine care. Every detail of our meal was thoughtfully arranged with professionalism and warmth, making us feel completely at ease and well taken care of. Thanks to him, our entire family enjoyed what has been, without a doubt, our most perfect dining experience of the year so far. His level of professionalism and sincere hospitality truly lives up to the beauty and reputation of Pebble Beach. I was so impressed that I have already decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary dinner here later this year. I sincerely hope more people will have the chance to experience the same joy and care that we felt today. read more

I enjoyed a beautiful lunch on Stillwater's terrace overlooking the ocean and golf course at Pebble Beach today. 80 degrees and crystal clear, this location for a lunch or dinner is pretty spectacular. My wife and I split entrees, skirt steak with fries and the house cheese burger and fries. Both were cooked to the temperature that we requested. The burger had great flavor (other than my preference for mayonnaise, and not the sweet spread and B&B pickles). My fault, I should have requested to eliminate those. Both the steak and the burger had a great chargrill flavor. Huey was our waiter. He was friendly, but a little elusive. The only real negative was the new metal dining table we were eating on was well over 100 degrees, as we were sitting in the direct sunlight. Huey confirmed these were new tables purchased during the recent renovation of PB Lodge. Not only could we not touch the table without getting burned, it heated up our utensils so hot, they were too hot to handle. This is a significant issue for Stillwater. I suspect these will all be replaced sometime this year, or Stillwater will start using tablecloths. Come check out the newly remodeled Stillwater and try their burger, sans sauce and pickles. read more

The Lodge at Pebble Beach Visited after their November 2025 reopening following a remodel. What should have been a flagship dining experience was a complete failure. Food: We ordered the wild cod and American Wagyu zabuton steak. * The cod was inedible--undercooked, mushy, and emitted an overwhelmingly fishy odor that strongly suggested improper handling. To make matters worse, the kitchen failed to include the sauce; we had to ask for it. * The zabuton steak, ordered medium rare, arrived blue rare and nearly raw. This is not a difference of opinion--it was a basic execution failure. * We calmly raised these issues with management. No corrective action was taken. No replacement, no apology of substance. (Photos attached.) Service: Service was equally unacceptable. * Our server was disengaged and unable to provide even basic menu guidance, raising serious concerns about staff training. * We had to repeatedly prompt for essentials--water refills, status updates, and follow-ups. * Timeline matters: seated at 6:10 PM, ordered at 6:20 PM, food arrived at 6:50 PM. A 30-minute wait for poorly executed food is indefensible at a property of this caliber. Atmosphere: The remodel does little to save the experience. The bar is visually pleasant; everything else is forgettable. 5.5/10. Final Verdict: Would I return? Absolutely not. Pebble Beach trades on a reputation of excellence. This restaurant is currently riding that name without delivering anything close to it. Until the kitchen leadership and service standards are seriously corrected, this is not worth your time or money. read more

The code was absolutely amazing, and I lied to desserts. But to be honest I wasn't wowed by the main menu. The food was good but nothing really exciting by way of flavor execution or creamy with the dishes that I would expect from an upscale restaurant like this. We also found the service to be really slow. We only saw our waiter to order, and get our check. It took a while to get our food, and our water glasses were not filled very often (maybe twice in the two hours we sat outside). You definitely pay for the view, but it is truly amazing. The restaurant overlooks the last hole on the golf course with the expansive bay behind it. Overall the food isn't very exciting and I probably wouldn't be rushing back here for anything except the view and atmosphere. read more

I came here with family for dinner during thanksgiving week. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, clean, good views of the ocean (during daytime hours). The service was friendly and seemed knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the abalone risotto- it was very good! For the price point, however, I thought everything could have been slightly more enhanced- more formalized service, more nuanced / interesting food, and stimulating ambience. That being said, for a hotel / golf course restaurant it did a great job balancing formal enough while still seeming casual and fun. I don't think it will win any awards but it's a good option when in Pebble Beach. My recommendation would be to just do appetizers and cocktails at the terrace bar (that would be a 5/5) and explore Carmel or Monterrey for restaurant options if you want something heavier. read more

Bartender was too busy to give me much attention. maybe they need a third bartender at night? Macaroni & cheese appetizer was perfectly cooked but bland. However, Erin was my server for dinner, and she was EXCELLENT, and the Jidori chicken breast au jus was delicious, could not have been better, moist and flavorful. It would be great if they also added this chicken dish to the lunch menu! Chef definitely made a winner with this entree! Booth is nicely sized, and it was easy to talk during our meal because we got there when the restaurant opened at 5:30 p.m. The views of the golf course and ocean/cove are stellar during the day! p.s. Had breakfast here the other day as well. An omelette and huevos rancheros. Both were excellent, perfectly cooked and very very tasty! And service was excellent then as well read more

So so good!! My dad found it and it was such a pretty place. Everyone looked happy and being able to look at the golf course and water from where you were sitting was amazing. The food was awesome and my burger was super juicy. Loved everyone there and the service was good. read more

I have been to many fine dining restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula and elsewhere. This was the best prepared meal I have ever had! Ordered the filet mignon, and everything about the preparation, accompaniments, and flavor was superb! The other 3 people with me enjoyed their dinners equally as well. read more

It's extremely expensive and the food was mediocre, at best. The shrimp in the omelette were off-tasting. The abalone on the Benedict was 2 quarter-sized pieces for almost $40. It's a beautiful setting and the staff was extraordinary. I just won't go back to eat there, although I've been there many times before. read more

Great views and service at the iconic Pebble Beach 18th hole. We started with the sweet corn crab chowder. We ordered a bowl to share and they split it into two portions. Nice! The soup was sweet and then had a back kick of spice. It could have a bit more crab in it, but it was tasty. We also split a hamburger, and again they split it into two plates. The burger was really good! We ordered plain fries as my husband doesn't like garlic. All in all a nice lunch. read more

Stillwater is a recently renovated restaurant inside the Lodge at Pebble Beach. We heard good things from our friends, so we decided to bring my in-laws who were visiting us, for dinner. We first chose to sit at the visually appealing bar that overlooks the breathtaking view of the 18th hole. Our bartender, Jeff, was knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. We really enjoyed talking with him and he made us some of their wonderful signature drinks! My favorite was the Double Oak Old Fashioned. As we were seated for dinner, our server, Erin, greeted us and helped make our dining experience one of the best. We started with the Brie and Mushroom Toast as well as the Abalone. Simply amazing! My mother-in-law had the Burrata Salad with Prosciutto. She said this was one of the most delicious salads she'd ever eaten! We ordered several different entrees so we could share. I had the Blue Cheese Crusted Filet, my husband had the Mafalda Pasta with Scallops, and my in-laws shared the Tomahawk Steak. Each entree was cooked to perfection and tasted out of this world. We didn't think we had room for dessert but decided to order the decadent chocolate cake, which I highly recommend! Our overall experience at Stillwater was five stars from beginning to end. We look forward to returning to this first class restaurant soon! read more

Randomly ended up here while driving along the 17 mile drive after we started to get the munchies. So happy that we did. The view overlooking the golf course with the mountains and ocean is absolutely stunning. Postcard worthy. We just grabbed some nibbles but underestimated how much we'd love them. Do yourself the honor of ordering the tuna tartar and the calamari. Send me a note about how blessed you are to have had me provide you that recommendation. read more

A Special Day, a special girl, and a special lunch...oh yea. M came out for a visit and I had a few adventures planned. The 17 mile drive was on her list so I added a Monterey windshield tour. I had made reservations a month a head to be safe, it was a good idea. Once we got parked it was a bit of a challenge as the restaurant is in the hotel...ah...okay then. We were seated immediately in a nice booth against the window looking at the 18th hole, that works. Presented with the tried, perfected, and very distinguished entrees and morsels worthy of tasting. Ordering was difficult because it all looked so interesting and you know it would be really good too. To cut to the chase we ordered, M had Clam chowder, and the snapper fish and I started with abalone and a lobster sandwich. Everything was very good as one would expect at this level. The service impeccable and surroundings just extraordinary. Do yourself a favor and take your next best on an adventure up there. big points mate, wink wink... foodguy-martin read more

The restaurant is located inside the luxurious Lodge at Pebble Beach and has gorgeous views of the golf course and ocean. There are large windows overlooking the golf course. There's also memorabilia and trophies from the US Open golf tournaments outside the restaurant for golf enthusiasts to look at. Service is not the most attentive but friendly. We've tried the halibut with farro and fish and chips. Portion sizes are decent with good flavor. However, there were lots of fish bones in my halibut. We went for my birthday and they surprised us with a free dessert to celebrate. We've been a couple times and would go back. read more

Restaurant is beautiful. Food is good. Service is better at hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurants... food came without any utensils. Our server changed 3 times. I asked all 3 for condiments that never came. Wine came 15 minutes after the meal came. Was double charged for items. I'm honestly not sure how the service could be worse. But again, I suppose you come for the view, which is spectacular. 1 star otherwise. read more

Great place to go The view alone is worth it! Food was amazing I had the omelette with shrimp which I highly recommend and the French toast was so good. Food was priced reasonably well for where you are and the view, I think the drinks are a little higher. Walking below along the golf course is nice to do afterwards read more

GORGEOUS views. This is RIGHT on the 18th hole. Umbrellas if you need cover and also indoor areas to sit! We ordered a quick snack - truffle fries, crab, and the shrimp taquitos. You MUST get the crab. So good. Truffle fries were oily but still yummy. Fast service and good vibes! read more

This was a stellar experience 10/10. The view alone was worth the drive. 17 mile drive was amazing, and if you let the people at the gate know they will not charge you admittance. The oysters were 8/10, I have had better in SF. The clam chowder was a small cup with grilled garlic bread on the side, heaping with bacon bits. Pretty good, but definitely pricey. The swordfish sandwich was a 7/10. Nice piece of fish that was cooked well, but the flavor was lacking. The only thing with flavor/salt in the sandwich was a huge slab of pork belly. The chocolate cake was the star - 10/10!!!! Come here for the view and experience, not for the food. read more

A very fancy place with great views in Pebble beach. The menu is very seafood focused, but does have some steak items. We had a round table in the corner with incredible views. Our server was a doll and got us anything we wanted. It had been a few days of eating, so no appetizer for me, but everyone else got one, the one that looked the best to me was the soft shell crabs. I ordered the scallops (with normally comes on risotto), but I asked if I could get the scallops atop the pasta that comes under the swordfish (with sun dried tomatoes and pesto) - It was fantastic. Sadly we were too full for dessert, but I did have a after dinner drink of a chai tea with some rum and a little stick cookie (that I originally though was a cinnamon stick). Whoa! - I wish I knew the recipe. There are a few abalone items on the menu - which you just don't see much of on menus, so if that is your jam, hit this place up. read more

Took a visiting friend here for breakfast to enjoy both the great food as well as the gorgeous view of the 18th green. We enjoyed all the food we ordered.

Stillwater is the place when you want to take your time and enjoy your breakfast. read more

IMHO This day's visit was to introduce my friend to gorgeous and world-renowned Pebble Beach! We told the gatekeeper at the northern entrance to 17-Mile Drive that we had a reservation at Stillwater, and he waved us through. No need to pay the entry fee! (If you do pay the fee, it will be credited to your dining bill at any of the Lodge restaurants! Just show your receipt!) We cautiously asked about seating on the outside patio since the weather had been very chilly of late. Happily, we felt comfortable enough to even remove our coats! Hieu was our amiable and efficient server! We began with the Ahi Crisps, $19, "trio of crispy wontons, avocado, pickled onions, sweet soy, wakame, jalapeno" to start. We opted to add one more crisp for an additional $6... Beautifully presented and delicious! My friend ordered the appetizer serving of "Live Monterey Bay Red Abalone", $29, 'wild mushroom and forbidden rice pilaf, daikon sprouts, unagi sauce, crunchy garlic oil." We asked Hieu about the difference between the appetizer portion and the main entree portion. The appetizer portion is 2 oz. of abalone versus the main entree version 4 oz. portion. When it arrived at the table, I was surprised at how small it looked on the plate. My friend said it was delicious, but I don't think it was enough to satisfy her appetite. I offered her half of my Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, $24, "fried jidori chicken breast, coleslaw, pickles, hot honey aioli, on a brioche bun." I like my fried chicken crunchy crispy, and I was concerned that it would be soggy like their fish and chips, which I've ordered in the past. Hieu told me that he could make my fried chicken to my liking! He was right! The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside!!! We ended our meal with some delicious French-pressed Kona coffee, $19 for a carafe for two. Oh, soooo yummy!!! Food is pricey, views are spectacular, and the service is perfection! read more

I had a wonderful lunch here. The view of the golf course and ocean is amazing. The food was good and service was fantastic.

I didn't care for the avocado puree and I love avocado. Dessert: Caramel-Nougat Terrine - $15 - This sounds a lot better on paper than what it was.

Stillwater used to be a fine dining experience. However since the remodel it is more like an extension of The Tap Room - pub/bar with windows. Much noisier and tables are crammed closer together between a very high wall (the new bar) and the windows - which makes you feel closed in. Having no tablecloths adds to the noise. While the chef is the same - the menu has a much heavier fare - perhaps more likely to attract younger folks after a round of golf. We are locals and this spot was our special occasion place which we would frequent every couple of months. We decided we would never go back. All four of us were disappointed with our dinners and the whole experience. read more

Usually when you got to restaurants at touristy areas, the food is underwhelming and overpriced. But Stillwater is an exception. My girlfriend and I were visiting friends in Monterey. We wanted weekend brunch and, luckily, managed to snag a same-day reservation. Beautiful drive to get there, of course. Parking was easy. We got a beautiful window table overlooking the 18th. Staff was friendly and on point. The food was phenomenal. As mentioned, touristy restaurants are usually substandard. I got the Stillwater Eggs Benedict with crab cakes, which was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend got the Kobe Short Rib Hash, which was unexpectedly tender and scrumptious. I highly recommend these two dishes. If you ever plan a Monterey / Pebble Beach getaway, I highly recommend Stillwater. But definitely make a reservation in advance! read more

Beautiful view of pebble beach golf course, great food & friendly service. We LOVED their seafood chilled platter, so good! We also enjoyed the sweet corn crab buttermilk soup & open-faced lobster salad sandwich. The kids meal pasta was a generous size & we LOVED the Swiss chocolate fondue with fruit & marshmallows. They also gave us a free chocolate cake dessert for our anniversary. We liked this place much better than Roy's in pebble beach. I highly recommend making reservations & asking for a table by the window. When you enter the gate into pebble beach, tell them you have a reservation to Still Water & they won't charge you an entrance fee. read more

The service was EXCELLENT. Wish i could remember the server's name. They were very attentive without being overbearing. Our server made a wonderful recommendation for wine. THe 3 star review is for the food. My husband had the King Salmon which he said was good. I had the Abalone, which was tough, served atop Forbidden Rice. It was wayyyy too sauced and salty. We also had the Ahi Wonton starter, which was good. For dessert we shared a Tres Leches Affogato. This is NOT a recognizable Affogato. It was good, just don't call it that. I was expecting the espresso to pour over, but nope. Wish I had known as I would have ordered a shot of espresso or at least a cup of coffee. It was a good experience because the view, the server and the person I dined with. Just wish the food was better. The view was OUTSTANDING. I would go again but try different foods (or ask for less salt!) read more

I was told how great the fish and chips are via reviews here and my best friend. Either I came on an off day or I've matured my palette. I wish I ordered a proper entree because I wasn't impressed with the fried foods here. However, the ambiance, service, and location x3 gives this place an extra star or two or three if you're an avid golfer like me. Pro Tips * Make reservations and sit at the patio on a sunny day because it's one of the best views on earth for golfer afficianados * Get a kids meal (10 and under) for each one of your kids even if they don't want it because they are essentially the same adult food just a little less portion, and a lot less on the wallet * If you're coming from the Bay Area on a weekend, pad extra time (up to 1 hour extra) for the drive to Pebble Beach as 101 and 17 gets congested southbound Food Summary + Steak Frites and Salad hit all cylinders (5/5) + Crispy calamari was not crispy today but Asian inspired sauce that looks like black squid ink is nice (4/5) - Skirt steak for kids comes with any choice of side was decent but still $22 (4/5) - Club sandwich for kids is adult size for the kids price but nothing special in taste (3/5) - Fish and chips looked good on paper but the fish wasn't crispy and the fries a bit salty (3/5) There you have it folks. I certainly ordered wrongly on this trip. The fried foods lacked the fresh crispness I was expecting. I didn't order a seafood entree which this place is likely known for. Fortunately, this place has so much heritage and history that even average food taste above average just by the osmosis of its surroundings. read more

Ambiance: fantastic Services: butler style Foods: incredible If you like upscaled high-end gourmet cuisines, you need to visit Stillwater B&G. Stillwater is located inside the 17-miles drive. It needless to say the view is spectacular as the golf fairway is huddled by the rocky coast line. When the lead waiter took our orders, I knew this restaurant would be operated at a very high level. From the fresh Oysters on the half shell to the tasty Stillwater Dungeness Crab Cake, I couldn't find any flaws in their serving. The oysters came from three regions: Washington, California, and Canadian Atlantic. They're all fresh and sweet. Crab cakes were topped off with crispy garden greens to give your a whole new taste of the cake. The New England Clam Chowder was delicious . It was richly prepared with clam meat and potato in creamy sauce. The California Salad was another pleasant surprise. It is not your common salad. The fresh garden greens was mixed with the assorted nuts(such as almond slices), cherry tomatoes, and sweet grapes in light dressing. Each bite was a wonderful experience. We tried two main courses: Seafood Bolognese and Salmon. I always love pasta. The Bolognese did not disappoint me. The soft pappardelle immersed in the rich creamy tomato sauce that stuffed with lobster, shrimp, and crab meats was such a splash when it came out. It's needless to say the grilled salmon was another bliss when I took the first bite. It was so tender that it felt as if the salmon just melt in your mouth. I wish we had more time to taste the desert. As we headed out to catch the sunset, I promise myself to visit this place again. After all, there are still so many other untried delicacies. read more

Visited Pebble Beach recently. A highly suggested restaurant was the Stillwater restaurant. I went there on a Saturday and found seating at the bar. Dining there was a great experience from start to finish! Even tough the restaurant was busy but, the bartender couldn't have been better. He was on top of it. Made the perfect spicy Bloody Mary drink, brought the appetisers and suggested a fantastic blue cheese crusted filet mignon. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had (other than Mom's)! Generous portions and the steak was seasoned exceptionally. The restaurant was newly remodelled with attention to detail! Most seats face the beautiful Pacific overlooking the 18th green. The setting was out of a John Steinbeck novel. I really can't say enough about the experience. The visit to Stillwater was nothing short of amazing due to the exceptional customer service, outstanding gourmet food and breathtaking views! A must see when visiting the Monterey Peninsula! Already booked the next trip. See you there. Enjoy! read more

Alright, who told me it was a good idea to come here as a "snack"? The portions ARENT small. I keep thinking "this place has gotta have small portions!"... and I keep suffering because of it. Maybe now that I'm getting a bit older, my teenage appetite is vanishing, but maaaaan... I had a stomachache going back into the car. The seafood is all prepared freshly for you! I'm not a fan of the white wine sauce, but everything else worked out for me. The chilled platter was soooo much seafood. Personally, I liked the shrimps the most! My friends calamari was delicious too. The black ink sauce was slightly sweet, then savory and salty before rounding back to sweet. The service kept you topped up on water or sparkling water- whichever you want, and made sure you were fine the entire time. The windows were nice to stare into the horizon with. It was a bit loud, as people were casually talking and enjoying their drinks, but hey, we're all just here to enjoy. I'd come again, maybe get something else. The Bench downstairs has a more appealing and creative menu in my opinion though. read more

Great view, great food, great beverage options and great service. Then again this is Pebble Beach and greatness is the norm!! The salmon was cooked to perfection. I only wish that I had left room for dessert. When making reservations make a request for a window table or in upper dining so you can easily see outside when it is too cool to sit outside. We were amazed with the amount of groups that were still out on the course in the dark. COME HUNGRY!! I was thankful that we were not rushed by our server and soak in the view and atmosphere!! read more
