    We love to stop in for a drink at the Terrace Lounge after we visit Carmel. The views of the iconic 18th hole at Pebble Beach are stunning. And you can pretty much just walk through and seat yourself at any open spot on the balcony. The service is a little hit or miss out here, but this spot is really all about the atmosphere. We enjoyed a glass of Prosecco, an old fashioned, and a cappuccino. No complaints. We relaxed and took in the beautiful view before us. This expedience gives you a little taste of luxury without the price tag (unless that's what you are going for -those more pricey options are absolutely on offer here too). I expect we'll be back next time we make our annual visit to Carmel/Monterey.

    1 dozen oysters

    We had a great waitress named Nancy who was attentive and took great care of us. We enjoyed a dozen oysters which in my opinion could have had a little better delivery. We were not told what the "sauces" were and there was not a shell bowl. The young guy Simply placed the platter of oysters down and walked away. The chocolate dessert is amazing!!! We sat inside and the views over the 18th hole are spectacular!

    Wanted to see the Lounge makeover at PB. My grandson also thought it would be a good idea to grab a Coke and some fries. We're local so we made the 5 minute trip to the Lodge Warp Speed 9. Unfortunately the service in the Lounge left a lot to be desired. First the good stuff -- spectacular Ocean views and a lovely sitting area, larger tables and seating everywhere. A lovely menu of drinks, wine, smaller bites but more than enough indulge in tasty morsels. We sat for at least 10 minutes without any recognition for any of the 4-5 servers. We finally flagged one down and asked to see a menu. It amazes me ( but shouldn't) that the attitude of the servers is "don't care" " I'd rather play with my phone" than take care of you. A 5 star resort should be on its toes 100% not like these folks. So I ordered the fries for grandson, along with a coke and a glass of wine for me. 15 minutes later the fried arrive, no drinks. We both tasted the fries and they were cold. Like they'd been sitting for an hour. Still no drinks, and no server-- so I get up walk to the bar at the other end and politely inquired, "had you maybe forgotten our drinks?" The bar tender points to the side, where the waiter is standing and says, "No they are right here"-- well they were but weren't being delivered. Then the bar tender makes a smile as laughs as he says something to the server. At which point I say, " is there something funny how this?" Bartender catches himself and says something I didn't understand. I left to go back to seating area while our drinks were being dispatched. Look, hotels are in the Service business. Just because this place is filled with Tourists doesn't mean staff can be rude, I'd have given the experience a "2" but I'm a sucker for the views.

    We came for the views but unfortunately the view was obstructed by some golf tournament structures. But if you come on a good day, I'd recommend getting some cocktails here. They're about 16-24 per drink, so pricy but reasonable. My drinks were pretty good but nothing amazing. Got a drink that was basically a Moscow mule but with pear juice. Also got a boozy hot cocoa. My bf got a berry cocktail that was good to him but strong for me

    We visited the Terrace Lounge which is located at the Lodge at Pebble Beach for a much needed break and light bites. The Terrace overlooks the Lodge's iconic 18th hole with remarkable ocean views. PRO TIP: The 17-Mile Drive admission fee will be reimbursed with a purchase of $35 or more at all Pebble Beach Resorts restaurants, excluding Pebble Beach Market. We ordered the Classic Stillwater Burger, Shrimp Rolled Tacos, and Avocado Tostada to share. To my understanding, the menu changes seasonally. There are a few items that stay all year round. My favorite is the Avocado Tostada-- it's a light and vibrant dish with a wonderful balance in texture. Our waitress was thoughtful and incredibly friendly. We got the 17-Mile Drive admission fee taken off of our final bill which was nice. Although the food was good, I think the true wow factor is the incredible ambiance and spectacular views of the ocean and golf course!

    Crab grilled cheese- so good!!
    Lori L.

    You can't beat the amazing view and ambiance. 10000% recommended to stop and get a drink and appetizers. I had some wine and we split the truffle fries which were amazing. But the best food was the grilled crab cheese, for some dumb reason on our part we didn't think it would be grilled cheese but let me tell you- best grilled cheese ever! The bread is perfectly toasted, decent amount of crab and sautéed onions with an aioli I think drizzled on top. Service was slow but of course it is so you can soak in the views and drinks/food.

    Came here after a long day touring Monterey. This lounge is located in the Lodge at Pebble beach, which is within the 17 mile drive at the south end (near Carmel). Keep in mind that you do have to pay admission to the 17 mile drive to get into this area, if you're not staying in this restricted area. We wanted a place to rest and stumbled across the lounge as we were walking out to the terrace. They have food, drinks and dessert to offer while you enjoy the view of the golf course and ocean view. We ordered the mojito, French press coffee, and fondue dessert. All were perfect and we relaxed on their comfy couches while sipping our drinks. The most memorable part of their fondue was the edible gold lined edible chocolate and the brûlée'd bananas that came with other assorted fruits and desserts to dip. This was the perfect end to our trip and made it so much more memorable!

    No masks nor social distancing despite sign requiring such

    A rare outing this past weekend led us to The Terrace Lounge at The Lodge on a beautiful sunny calm day with an expansive view of the pacific. Unfortunately our visit started off on a wrong foot when the hostess at the restaurant entrance assumed we were gawking tourists and without asking where we wanted to go informed us this was not the way to the outside ( I was confused as the balcony, where one of our party was waiting at a table already, was 20 ft from us across the dining room in full view ) and she directed us to go out, down the hall to some stair with no elevator and ... whatever. Left a bad taste for the whole lunch wondering who else was going to profile us. When have hostesses stopped asking "how can I help you?" or "are you here for lunch?" Luckily we could explain in time before we started her goose chase and ended up on the lovely balcony outdoors with sun umbrella shaded seats as well as sunny seats according to everyone's wishes. Note: in colder weather the middle of the table can be turned into a gas fire pit - a nice touch. Lunch was good. We shared a good sized fried calamari appetizer with light batter and a black squid ink sauce that raised it up a bit out of the ordinary. The Dungeness crab cake was authentic with a bit of coleslaw and a (kind of bland) green sauce (but had to ask for lemon slices - which came promptly), the fish and chips were nice with a light crispy batter, the 'chips' flavored with herbs and an okay Tatar sauce, the Dungeness crab salad is a nice size portion with fresh lettuce and veg, boiled egg and house made 1000 Island dressing on the side, the fried chicken sandwich is fresh and a nice size. We had a birthday girl amongst us and a small beautifully decorated ( including a candle ) one portion chocolate mousse cake came with forks for all for sharing - delicious ! Service was attentive though a couple times a bit slow ( coffee came late but then a whole thermos pitcher ) - no wonder as the service needs to walk the whole balcony every time to get to the kitchen ! not the most efficient ). Servers all wearing masks and gloves - other patrons not really wearing masks ( most not at all total time of sitting and often not when standing either ) - did notice on the putting green that no one was adhering to the sign posting mandatory masks and social distancing. Prices are on the high side ( were not charged for the birthday cake - a nice surprise ! ) but not so unreasonable considering the view. It's a bit of a walk (200yds?) from the visitor's parking but appears there is a way to drop people off at the door. Except for our initial greeting + non Covid-adherence, an okay experience.

    Calamari, Cheese Plate (small), Crab Grill Cheese, Yellow Fin Tuna Tartar!!! CRAB GRILL CHEESE IS AMAZING!!!!

The scenery is beautiful, and we enjoyed taking it all in while having brunch. Service was friendly, attentive, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious!

We were given the option of a communal fire pit or a private table and opted for the latter - the wait was around 30 minutes, which I think was well worth it for own space. We just perused the visitor center while we waited and then headed over once we got the text. They have varying options for lunch and dinner. For lunch, we were told the Korean brisket sandwich is "by far the best", second to the fried chicken sandwich. While the Korean brisket sandwich was surprisingly flavorful, it seemed to just be a really flavorful sandwich rather than "Korean" inspired. It contained marinated brisket, shredded carrot, cilantro, and bell pepper in a baguette which was somewhat reminiscent of a banh mi; and it came with a side of "Togarashi" fries, a Japanese spice that sneaks up on you the more you eat. The service was a bit underwhelming as we were left without napkins/silverware until we managed to flag down our waiter mid-meal (which we found ourselves having to do a second time to get the bill), but the view was nice and the food was solid.

We ordered the New York steak and the Kobe Gold (which comes with the salt board). The Kobe Gold is my absolute favorite, it's $135, but it's 100% worth it and we order it every time. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. The brisket queso was delicious, and you can't go wrong with the Caesar salad. I love that they put anchovies on top. We also had the mac and cheese and a baked potato that was HUGE. Everything was spot on. For drinks, we had wine and an Old Fashioned it was good, but I do wish it came with one large square ice cube instead of the smaller ice. Just a small touch that would make it even better! We shared a half Taproom sundae for dessert and it was the perfect amount for four people. Nick was our server (we've had him before) and he always does an excellent job. He's attentive, friendly, and professional. We'll definitely be back. It's always a great experience here!

    The vibes are here but it all stops there…read more.. Let me start by saying that I love this place. Just needs a bit of cleaning up on their transparency. The 'keep it open' policy is something I appreciate but would also appreciate an itemized receipt when you close out. Here's why to keep your eye out when drinking at this establishment. 1- when you close out, it's helpful to verify what you consumed to ensure you're corrected charged. My receipt was the merchant copy and the customer copy. Itemized? Really had to ask for it. 2- the merchant copy - it asked for a tip and the total amount. When we closed out our beer and well drink, it was ~$28. Weird, right? So my thought was that they clearly charged something incorrect. 3- when there's something automatically charged, it had better be communicated to me upfront. The gratuity was automatically added and IT WAS 20%! No sign, no way to notify me that it was already added. It didn't even say so on the merchant or customer copy. On top of that, the copy asked for AN ADDITIONAL TIP. For something like that, I had better get great service. 4- The service here is spotty at best. There's usually one bartender for the often busy bar. Not a problem, usually. But with that high of a price, better serve your customers well and have a fully stocked bar. 5 - the options were lacking. Two things you'd think would be stocked but weren't - espresso (come on, even Kahlua) and apple liqueur for an espresso martini and appletini were too much to ask for, I guess. Overall, a disappointment. Good thing they have the vibes nearly right. But awful business practices.

Nothing catastrophic happened, but it felt like we were inconveniencing staff rather than being welcomed. We experienced multiple instances where basic hospitality was lacking. At meals, we often had to ask for water, request the check, and follow up on things that should have been proactive. One evening we came downstairs for dinner around 8:25 PM and were told the kitchen stopped taking orders 30 minutes before the restaurant closed. While that's certainly their policy, it wasn't communicated beforehand and the interaction felt more dismissive than apologetic. There were several small moments like this throughout our stay. Individually they may seem minor, but together they created an atmosphere that felt awkward, rushed, and inattentive. Given Carmel's reputation for hospitality and the price point of the hotel, we expected a much warmer and more polished experience. The inn itself has a lot of charm, and we enjoyed the area, but the level of service simply didn't match the setting or our expectations.
