I love the atmosphere there. It is always fun to chat with barmen and the owner. You can actually talk there and hear each other. The restaurant have very big variety of drinks. Desert is my favorite there. I tried gluten free chocolate cake and raspberry cream Brule. It was a pure pleaser. They make me to forget about the diet)

This one is for all the burger bougies out there. After you've shopped for that Gucci belt buckle and got Carbon fitted for the central coast lifestyle, you can drop the pretension and get a proper burger at Camel Burger Bar. There are grass-fed beef, bison, and wagyu options lavishly outfitted with some Carmel appropriate toppings. I tucked in for a roasted poblano with brie and pickled red onions and found it to be everything I need from a burger. Gluten-free folks, beware the French fries are not gluten-free, which is always the silliest mistake restaurants make. The good news is, the sweet potato fries are, and they are tasty. Once you've finished being a spectacle for the nearby wine tasters wishing they could trade their vanity for a bite, you can confidently climb back into your G-wagon on 22s, or more likely your space grey Tesla and drive away feeling like a Carmel rock star. Anyone can get steamed carrots and salmon, or pasta carbonara, but how many leave Carmel after taking down a $20 Grilled Cheese Burger?

What an experience! The view from Pacific’s Edge was breathtaking, especially as the sun set right next to us. Definitely make a reservation in advance and, if I may suggest, do so for at least 30 minutes before the sun is scheduled to set that day. The view and the sunset make an incredible combination. 🌅 Besides the view, the food was amazing. I ordered the short rib, one of the entrees that was marked “gluten free” on the menu. As I picked up my knife to cut into the meat, I realized it wasn’t necessary as the meat completely separated just with the fork. The portions were just the right size. The experience was expensive, but worth it for a special occasion or “treat yourself” event. Our server was fun and connected well with us. He also took us a photo! We did find it a bit weird, though, that we weren’t offered anything to drink except for water. We didn’t receive a drink menu or wine list, but it was probably better to save money anyway!
