The Terrace Lounge - Del Monte Forest

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!

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.

OMG! We drove all the way from San Jose to Carmel to see an amazing singer John Sotelo. I called before we left to make sure he was still playing because sometimes people get sick. I confirmed with the concierge that John was still playing before we drove all the way up there. When we arrived there was a different singer. Stuff happens I know. But what I was upset with was the manager Dale (from the Stillwater Bar and Grill). When I told him my upset he says I 'm sorry I 'll make sure I will train the front desk staff to better answer the questions . What a loser! A simple I 'll buy the first round would have done miracles. I don 't recommend this place!

Great food, great drinks, great view and great service. I got hungry doing the 17 mile drive, and just wanted a quick bite. I stopped by Pebble Beach's Terrace lounge. I couldn't have alcoholic drinks because I was still drowsy from taking antihistamine for motion sickness the day before. I ordered one of the two mocktails being offered. I was slightly concerned the kiwi puree won't go with the coconut syrup, but I was blown away after taking the first sip. It was so good! Also ordered was a lobster sandwich. It was pricey, but there was so much lobster meat on there! The price seems justified. It tastes amazing too. Unfortunately I have to deduct one star because I bit into a few pieces of shell... :

Just shared an appetizer with the boyfriend and I would highly recommend this place! Their crispy calamari was the best we've ever had!
