Great place to go sit outside and have some great food and beer at a reasonable price. You can bring your dog, too. They're having their Oktoberfest right now, so they have a lot of great German bieren to choose from, as well as fresh pretzels, schnitzel, and wurst. The waitress had the entire biergarten in back, which filled up quickly, and she got every order out quickly and correctly with speed, efficiency, and a genuine smile. I would recommend this place.

Beignets of my dreams with apple blackberry jam and one of the best mimosa in guava juice I've had in a long time. Generous portions and great service. Garden setting with a bar and stage, good music. Delicious Benny's. We will be back. 🍳

Well worth a stop. TOTCHOS! and BEIGNET'S (See pics) The beer selection is impressive.

Great beer, good grub, and really friendly service!

A good place i will be returning to when I'm in the area.

Had breakfast here with my husband on our honeymoon before our day of wine tasting. Small town vibes here! Get the beignets but don't be fooled by their little stature, they are filling! The service was helpful with providing suggestions on wineries to visit, and places to visit in other cities we were visiting on our trip. We spent over 2 hours eating & chatting with customers and staff, and we never felt rushed. Would come again if in the area!

Nightly specials and great service make this a great addition to Carmel Valley. All the servers are friendly and the food is plentiful. The beverage selection is quite extensive with beer and cider on tap and popular wines by the glass. During nice weather, the beer garden out back adds an extra touch. If you are in the area, stop in!

Excellent food and service. The lasagna was very good with homemade marinara sauce that was a little creamy. Linguine and meatballs were excellent.

Today was my first time in the Beer Garden. I LOVELOVE what they've done with the place!!! No small feat with the remodel considering how vast the old kitchen was. They've got a killer beer selection! Also one of the fattest wine pours I've ever seen! Grilled Chicken and Pesto sandwich was good. Nice bread, possibly house baked. Rodger Eddy played. I'm not sure how regular their live music offerings are but it was a perfect "having a holiday lunch with my mom" vibe. A nice little crowd were gathered and everyone was happy to chill leisurely. Great staff!! I'll go back for sure!! Maybe even book a party there!!

Our take out order of 2 Fish and Chips, 3 Hamburgers and fries were excellent. My fish was battered perfectly and firm slice of fish. And my friends raved about their burgers. Everything was ready as promised and very warm when we got back home.

I stopped here on a Monday for lunch with laptop in tow because I was “working”. 😬 I ordered the Cobb salad and some rosé. So yummy!!! And my waitress (I wish I got her name) was so lovely and accommodating and she was crushing it by taking care of the entire restaurant. I look forward to my next visit!

We got hungry during a drive up CV Road and most places were reservation only on Mother's Day, but Trailside was open for walk-ins! Great vibe, and the pear tart looked tempting as we found a table near the bar. A BLT and a grilled cheese with tomato soup later, that tart found it's way to our table. Delicious! Our server was lovely-personable and efficient. She knew the menu and backstory to the dishes. Plus she made a perfect espresso macchiato. The music was great background, we could talk easily at our table, everything felt clean and welcoming. Perhaps the new destination in CV?

My 2nd time here, and was just as awesome.. Great area to relax just a few miles from the coast.. The staff is excellent in every way, our waiter was extremely nice and friendly.. Truly Great food, I've tried both the breakfast and lunch menu. I'm a newbie to the area, so I followed the locals here and will come here many more times when I vacation in this beautiful California town.

I've been living in CV again for almost a year, but today was my first stop at Trailside. I ordered just a pulled pork sandwich to go, and it was delicious! The fries were equally amazing, and the service was friendly and efficient. This may be my new go-to takeout place in the village.

I found the food to be excellent. Probably the best onion rings I've ever had!

Great food! Love coming here, highly recommend.

Got the breakfast burrito & 3 beignets with the wife… Perfect amount of food for 2. We weren’t drinking at the time but were both tempted by the guava mimosa. Sounds yummy! Our server was excellent, super nice guy, took care of some dietary restrictions we have with ease. We will definitely come back here next time we visit Carmel Valley. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful spring morning.

We're visiting in the area and have come here the past two mornings for breakfast. Food is delicious and served in generous portions, staff is friendly, and service is excellent. Very cute place with local art on the walls for sale. We will happily visit again when we're in the area!

Great waiters. Food was delicious! We had some fussy eaters and they were able to accommodate everyone. Bravo!

Such a wonderful restaurant and bar with a great ambience and amazing staff! Coming from out of town, we had no idea what we wanted to order since everything on the menu sounded so good. Frank, our server for the night, was absolutely fantastic, giving the best food and drink advice. The whole staff was conversational, kind, attentive - and the food was some of the best we’ve ever had. It was also outdoor seating, and we got a great, personal outdoor heater that kept us cozy the whole time. I couldn’t recommend a better evening experience (or server!! Frank was truly the KINDEST and so amazing!) for our little vacation.

Great lunch stop. Huge beer selection, good food and a tranquil stop. I loved the area, back in the deeper Carmel Valley area. I went out of my way to get there and was not disappointed, it actually made our day after shopping at the excellent plant nurseries along the way.

Great wings, garden salad and chicken club wrap!

This is a great place to grab food in carmel Valley. Everything we've had has been really good. The Cobb salad is delicious, bomb sandwiches and great pork. Really good selection of beers on draft and bottles/cans as well as many choices for wine. We will be back

Great food, friendly staff and service, reasonably priced, very nice ambiance .

Super cute little spot! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We came in looking for black tea, since every other coffee/tea spot in town seemed like it was closed at 2 pm, and they were so nice to us! Tremendously appreciated them! Can't wait to come back!

Great bar/pub atmosphere with outside dining. Was pleasantly surprised the patio has heaters for cold nights. Ate with a large group one night and just my husband another night. Both experiences were great and waiters were friendly. Fish tacos are delicious as well as the Mushroom & Artichoke Linguini. Good rotating beer list too!

They had St. Bernardus Christmas on TAP! From the source! This establishment is obviously run by someone with extremely established taste, at the very minimum. Their pub fare is also delicious.

Great food! Can’t go wrong here. Everything we ordered was fantastic. On holidays, they have a special shrimp and avocado eggs Benedict that is to die for and make sure to get the banana pecan french toast.

Perfect eating spot in this little wine tasting town. Tasty basic delicious food. Burger on whole wheat bun filling and the fresh chicken sandwich excellent! Not overpriced. Friendly service. Easy parking central location. Relax, enjoy the view, Fill up and ready to move on for wine tasting.

Great food. The service was slow but it wasn’t bad service. I gave a 5 stars for the food! It was 10/10. I got blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and my date got the eggs Benedict 9/10

This place perfectly suited our needs. It has a draft list of 16 beers and a handful of wine to pick from. The food was super flavorful and fresh. We sat outside on a pleasant warm day with a slight breeze. Very peaceful and relaxing. “So Carmel Valley” per my mother’s report. Come here for tasty food and alcohol!

What a great place! It's worth a visit. The staff has a lot of pride with what they do. The "Totchos" are a Tater Tot lovers dream. They even serve Beignet's!, warm, delicious and dangerous!

Always a great place for incredible food, service and atmosphere. We come here to warm up from the fog of the peninsula. One of our favorites. Great staff, very friendly. Craft beer and ciders are a pleasure. The food is fresh and nice.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Good people

Excellent place for a good meal and great pint in Carmel Valley Village! The cheeseburger or fish tacos are highly recommended, and the tap list is always superb.

OMG!!!! BEST FRENCH TOASTS ANYWHERE SO FAR! PURE HONEY AND PECANS! STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. LOVED IT

Trailside is one of my favorite local breakfast areas. Diego is the manager. They have a great selection of beers, morning drinks. I usually get the huevos rancheros with an ice coffee and a morning beer. Nights are really great. Clear skies and good views of the stars at night.

Very accommodating. We called to place our order ahead for dine in since we were on a time crunch. We arrived, sat down and immediately got our food. I ordered their Trail Cafe special (I think that's the name) and everything was cooked and tasted really good! My favorite part were the pancakes. Highly recommend this place for anyone who's passing through Carmel Valley!

Me and my boyfriend stop here for some coffee and apps and the service was very attentive and nice and the food and drinks were very delicious! They have some sofa to sit very comfy and they have a big selections of beer ✨

Service & food are great. Atmosphere is nice too with some art on the walls & a wood-burning stove.

Food was great! Everything you want in a valley diner. Poor servers were definitely understaffed but they were still so friendly and quick. We got the Eggs Your Way, French toast and Seanies Delight. All were delicious. The jam that came with the toast was unreal.

Don’t let the Beer Garden tag fool you! This little gem of a local eatery is serving up some fantastic tasting meals with many a European flare. From France to Spain, you can dive in to whatever you are seeking. We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning, not too crowded at 9:30, but hopping by the time we left. My wife had the Tocino Omellet and I had 2 Eggs my way with a ham steak. They have decadent beignets and I was told to check out the Mac N Cheese, which I had to have hot, so I ordered a small kids plate as a side and was floored by the flavor. They offer several different combos of that, so I cannot wait to get back and try more. Friendly servers and quaint and relaxing ambiance, make this a great choice for breakfast or lunch. Gotta check out dinner next time!

I had a hard time choosing from the menu, because they had everything my wine hungover brunch heart desired. Went for an omelette and two "baby cakes" that were not "baby" at all - they were huge, fluffy and delicious. Plenty of outdoor seating, friendly staff, generous portions, food is locally sourced.

Absolutely delicious brunch. Comfortable outdoor seating and service was pleasant. and friendly.

I had a good lunch here midst a tough long ride. I ordered their chicken pest sandwich and a cup of their tomato soup. Both were yummy and hit the spot. Much needed refueling and rest on their terrace with few people around.

Nice cozy little spot in Carmel Valley. Beautiful scenery. Very kind and friendly service. Ordered the Steinbeck omelette and it was delicious. Will definitely return.

Came here with friends. Walked in with no expectations. Left super full and happy. We had chicken quesadillas, tuna melt and tots, macaroni and cheese, and a burger. All were suoer good. Service was good. Nice draft beer menu. Would HIGHLY recommend. Worth driving to.

We went here for brunch. The food was great, my eggs were perfectly over easy and the pancakes were lightly crisped on the outside side and fluffy on the inside. They also have a range of juices that can be used for the mimosas, which is great because I am mildly allergic to orange juice. We liked this place so much we went back for dinner.

First time ❤️ we lived everything about this little spot . Dog friendly,awesome staff and delicious food in a perfect outdoor table on a sunny day

The food and atmosphere are great especially after a long stroll at Garland Ranch. The patio is dog friendly. The staff is always accommodating as there can be a wait to eat outside on the weekends.

We enjoyed this restaurant so much at dinner that we went back the very next day for lunch. The food was excellent both times—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. While the vegetarian options were a bit limited, what they offered was delicious and thoughtfully done. Dinner had a lively, almost noisy atmosphere, which added energy but made conversation a little tricky. The staff at dinner was attentive and fantastic, though lunch service the next day felt slower and a bit distracted by comparison. Still, overall, it’s a spot well worth visiting.

what a great place to stop for breakfast or brunch I had the beignets and they’re bacon and cheese and avocado omelette. It was fantastic reasonably priced for the portions that were served. Staff was incredibly friendly. Food came out and a very reasonable amount of time would absolutely eat there again

I took my mother here for lunch and had the absolute best time. Our waiter was bubbly and fun, she made some great suggestions for my mother who can be a little picky at times. The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly well presented. My mother said she would definitely come back and recommend the cafe.

Always a great place for incredible food, service and atmosphere. We come here to warm up from the fog of the peninsula. One of our favorites. Great staff, very friendly. Craft beer and ciders are a pleasure. The food is fresh and nice.

A pretty good beer place in a sea of wine tasting rooms. We came here for lunch and had great sandwiches and beer on the deck out front. The tap list is pretty good, but if you are looking for more selection, go inside and check out the wide range of bottled beers, which are for some reason not on the beer list.

Perfect....almost. Good beer, excellent music, pleasant wait staff, best tomato soup and cheese sandwich this sife of my wife's. Thus, the four stars vice five. Great place to hang out. Comfortable. Unpretentious. Nice vibe. Highly recommend!

Really a great little resaurant! Lot's of excellent craft beers! Food is good....a local favorite and a sweet place to hang out on the front deck or inside. Super friendly people! Working hard to please... We give it a strong recommendation!!

Terrific food, great service, idyllic setting. I would go there again. It's a good place to get food and coffee after doing the rounds of the wine tasting rooms in the neighborhood.

Good food, but if you order the Bratwurst, just get it without the optional toppings. The Salmon Ceasar salad was very good. Decent selection of beers.

We enjoyed our sunny table outside. Our food and service was good. They were busy but we both thought the potatoes were under cooked and hard. Otherwise a great place and location.

Nice outdoor patio and good service. Avocado toast was a joke, but omelette tasted good.

Pretty good. Decent Tap list.

To be fair we only sampled a couple of appetizers which were the Grilled Artichoke and a cheese platter, and both were very good. We sat outside on the front deck on a nice spring day. Very clean and tidy place with good service and friendly staff. Had we tried more food and drink items and found them equally good, it would be deserving of a 5 rating.

The service and the ambiance are impeccable. I cannot think of any issue with my visit outside of the food I ordered. I ordered biscuits and gravy hoping that the sausage gravy was savory and well peppered. I was not prepared for what was delivered to my table. I've been alive over 2 different millennium, 2 different centuries, and six different decades. In that time, I've been served parsley on my biscuits and gravy exactly one time in my life, and this was it. They also don't tell you in the menu description, so I'm telling you here. They put parsley in their biscuits and gravy. Whatever the coating on the biscuits was, gravy is not a term I'd choose to describe it. 0 sausage even though it is described in the menu, though it had a beef flavor and little chunks of unknown meat, as if they used beef fond and tallow in the roux. This coating soaked into the biscuit giving them a mushy consistency while also imparting the odd parsley beef flavor. Should I find myself in the area again, I would go back to this wonderful little cafe. I'll just be sure to skip the biscuits and gravy.

Nice location, good beer. Fish tacos were a miss, but the rest of the food is great!

We came for a late lunch. Great beer selection and good comfort food.

Enjoyed a couple of great breakfasts here while visiting Carmel Village. The first time was a weekday and young woman server was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I wish I could remember her name. The second time was on a Sunday and it was packed. Service was slower but we were well taken care of again. It appeared they were understaffed.

Decent food, OK service, but nothing special.

Food was really tasty, service could use an upgrade, parking is a bit limited, area is warmer than others.

I loved the Tachos (tater tots nachos). Nice outdoor patio. They have a great rotating beer selection 🍻. Great selection of mimosas. We had a delicious guava mimosa 🥂😋.

The service here is always wonderful, but the last few times I’ve been here the food was pretty bland. I don’t often say that, but because this is a special spot that many locals frequent, I thought it would be helpful to note and maybe put the word in that some extra spices and zest could be thrown into the food. All love!

Very good pub food. Large portions of well cooked cod. Thin cut fries are very good, better than most. Good garden salad. Excellent beer selection.

It's a pretty neat place, for sure. I haven't been to many cafés like it. The food was mediocre but wasn't bad by any means. The service was good, since staff were pretty nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was definitely enjoyable and warm. I'll be coming again.

After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.

This place was alright. First, of course, because of the area, the clientele were mostly old white people drinking wine. Second, there was a guy playing guitar and singing. He was pretty good! The food - sliders were not bad. Fries were yum. They almost seemed to be tempura fried. I had a strawberry cider that was excellent. Wait staff - outstanding. I would go back anytime just because of them.

I expected some real good fresh fish and chips the fish was very rubbery

It's....OK. The service was OK, and the food was....alright. I got the fish and chips and had a side salad. The fish and chips were good, but the salad was literally just one type of lettuce with some dressing on it. They messed up my dad's order by giving fries instead of a side salad. The server took the plate away and replaced the fries with a salad instead of, you know....just giving him the salad on the side. Like most restaurants would. I assume this was done so they could reuse the fries, which is.....weird....

Overall, it was a good experience. I appreciated the local artwork for sale on the walls. Our server had a couple of fumbles with our drinks, but she was very kind and met our needs well. I had the pulled pork sandwich with a salad. I liked it, though it was all very light on the sauce and dressing (I'd ask for extra sauce if I went again). The general consensus at my table was that the food was enjoyable, but nothing really stood out.

Nice folks, great service, okay food. She had huevos ranchero, she said it was good, not great. I had biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs: the gravy looked like it broke, and they tried to save it by adding water, the biscuits were hard and cold. Both of our eggs were cooked perfectly. They were super busy that day, and we think they deserve another chance. I'll post an update when that happens.

We stopped here because it’s a local spot and it seemed like a favorite from visitors. After a day of golf we where definitely hungry. They served breakfast and lunch. As you go inside you can seat yourself. Service was a bit slow. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which they had good flavor not enough gravy. My wife ordered the English muffin with egg, bacon and cheese came with a side of potatoes. One of my sons had the 2 egg breakfast and the other the omelette. The dishes that came with potatoes where not thoroughly cooked. The service was not the best either never got a top off on my coffee. I love supporting local spots but when they don’t check quality that just doesn’t fly. Also but expensive, if paying $12 for a side of breakfast sausage I expect better service.

Well, our waitress was lovely, but the place needed about four more of her! It was a busy night and as far as I could see she was the only waitress. Our food took f-o-r-e-v-e-r and was only moderately good. My suggestion to the Cafe is to stock up on your staff, and light a fire under the cooks! You could do a good business here.

I have eaten here several times sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s really bad. Today was really bad. I got the salmon Benedict and the salmon on it was stone cold which made the whole meal really bad. I mentioned it to the waitress and she didn’t offer to take anything off of my bill whatsoever and I thought she should’ve offered something! My experiences they’re telling me that the food is very inconsistent. So I never knowExactly what I’m going to get when I order there even if I’m ordering the same thing that I’ve had in the past. Just cannot count on it for any kind of consistency. It’s sad because the atmosphere is nice the wheat people have been nice but the food is just very inconsistent.

Went 2nd time today for breakfast. Service, like the first time, is very slow. Coffee is mediocre - a deal breaker when my total tab including tip was about $30 for simple omelet. I won't be going back, ever.

The beignet recipe needs some serious revision, but it doesn't stop there. Phenomenally, the most rubber-like calamari I've ever had. Nearly every item on the menu is either chewy, soggy, or comically under-seasoned. Assumably, only enjoyable to those with booze-deadened taste buds. My recommendation: Avoid this place entirely.

Yikes. Terrible spot in the village. Been there multiple times and this last time is the last straw. I came in to get a pick up order and despite three employees being at the bar and me being the ONLY person inside the restaurant, they ignored me as I tried to get their attention. Then they said they gave my order away to someone who came in before me. They didn’t apologize at all, didn’t offer me a drink as I sat, didn’t discount my order or anything. Basically pretended like it was out of their control. On a non customer service note, the food is merely mediocre and with all the other lovely spots to eat in the Village, you’ll save yourself a headache by skipping over this place.

This post is going to be long, but bear with me if you are a large group or an out-of-towner considering visiting this restaurant. This is the first ever negative review I have ever written- hope it’s my last; however I feel very compelled to share my experience to help bigger groups of women celebrating not ruin a part of their trip. I was visiting the area to celebrate my best friends bachelorette party & we decided to brunch here on Saturday. It was not planned and we did not call ahead because some other plans fell through, but thought we would give it a try because the food looked good and reviews were good. When we arrived, we asked for a table (we had 12 people with us), shared that we were willing to split up into groups and were told two things- 1. Splitting up would make it harder on the server so that would not be an option 2. That our wait would be 20 minutes. Most of us waited outside and a few went in to order a drink while we waited. Our 20 minute wait turned into an hour and 10 minutes. During that time, staff would walk past us never stopping to clarify wait time or acknowledge that we were even still waiting. They would literally put their heads down every time they walked past one of the few of us. After about 50 minutes of waiting, we finally asked a staff member if they had an update and we shared that if it would be easier, we would be happy to split up. The staff member got a small attitude with us for asking and then walked away without answering any further questions. We finally get seated by a staff member. A different staff member walked up to our table, asked us if we called ahead and when we shared that we didn't, but we were just seated, he said, 'I promised this table to another party,' insinuating that we should get up and move. We said we've been waiting for over an hour to be seated and he walked away. We then sat there with no service for another 17 minutes watching staff walk past us, ignoring us AGAIN. Finally, we asked someone if we would be able to be served. He then stated that 'I can already tell this is going to be a two ticket table' in an annoyed voice and then stopped us from ordering, saying that we are not allowed to order any complicated items off the menu mentioning that their cooks were working more hours than normal. I believe this must be a local place where people habitually frequent, as we were even ridiculed by other guests in the restaurant as well. Still confused as to why we were treated with such disrespect. Maybe I am just from the midwest and not used to this sort of treatment? I have tried to put off posting this, but keep thinking of the other groups of women that may be wanting to try this place while celebrating a bachelorette/ birthday party with a group of friends. There are other places I would choose to spend my time, as this really did ruin part of our day on the last day of our trip.

Go to Running Iron instead. Don't come here. Food is more expensive & service is horrid. Read other reviews! We tried to get food here. But the big blonde waitress were SOOOOO RUDE! We left n went to Running Iron instead which is a few walk down the block. Get the calamari dinner (insteadof calamari appetizers), they have brocolli and special sauce with mash potatoes and your choice of beef or turkey gravy. It's a huge portion and can be shared. The food, atmosphere and service is SOOO MUCH BETTER! So if you're visiting the mountains Go to Running Iron.

In response to the owner’s reply, I would like to clarify a few things. We fully understand the restaurant and hospitality industry, and had zero expectations of being able to sit right away - with our party size of 12. We, quite honestly, went out of our way to suggest how to accommodate us without the stress of a large table - suggesting we can split up across multiple tables, not all tables on same check, first available whether some inside and others outside. The mention of us all wanting to sit as one table on the patio is completely false. What’s laughable is our willingness to be completely flexible, and seeing table after table be turned over with new parties while we sat on the curb. Yes, to pass the time that well exceeded 20minutes (laughable - why even throw out that time if it’s actually going to be that plus an hour), a few of us sat at the bar. Not sure how you can tell the specific drink orders by a surveillance camera but a bit creepy to call out Bloody Mary versus a Michelada. Regardless, we could not have been more accommodating. I will credit the service for being very quick once we ordered our food, but it took 20 minutes to even get water. Quite honestly, the table in the middle of the interior of the restaurant had a pitcher with glasses and I thought maybe this is self-service for water. Every staff member avoided eye contact with us when they walked by, and truly we could not have been more flexible. Honestly, we were beyond accommodating for a restaurant that offered ZERO accommodations. We were told no split checks, which we could understand. Zero substitutions, fine. Not permitted to order drinks until food was ordered. And the staff and other bystanders continued to make us feel uncomfortable and out of place, as if that behavior would encourage us to leave sooner. Your description of our experience is complete falsehood. I wish you well, but do not try to convince us our experience was more enjoyable and we were less accommodating than we were. We were missing two sides and one entree of food, but still paid for as to not make a fuss. What a way to handle a party of all women, as if we were the problem. We literally rolled with every punch you threw us.

The place was empty, but service took forever. Finally ordered our beer. 20 minutes later we were told they were out of that beer. We couldn’t get the waitress’s attention to re-order, so I went into the bar to order a beer. Regarding food, it also took forever, and when it finally arrived, we had no plates or utensils or napkins on the table. We just ate with our hands because we couldn’t get any service. Totally amateur hour rookie run place. Horrible service. No reason to go back. Plenty of good places nearby.

Worst service I've received in a long time. Was there on a very quite Friday afternoon, but it still took 45 minutes to receive a cheese patter that looks worse than anything I would have dared to serve to a guest in my home.

It was my first time stopping by this establishment . I was standing to order I was completely ignored by the young woman and young man who were behind the coffee bar. Someone from the back had to come take my order. They walked past me about 3 times . They did not want to take my order this is very upsetting. A very nice older man from the back came to take my order. I am still in disbelief that I was treated in this manner. It may have been that I am not their targeted customer. I really hope this does not happen to others.
