Mission Ranch - Carmel By the Sea

Nice attitude. Attentive servers. The food was delicious and delivered on time. Although they don't take reservations... you should get there early and you can get a window seat overlooking the beautiful meadow and sheep. The weather that allows the back terrace is great. Love the flowers too!

We were told the wait would be 45 minutes, but it was only 10. : We sat on the heated patio, which was less noisy compared to the dining room. The grilled artichoke was delicious and the filet minion was cooked perfectly, as was the Osso Buco. Service was wonderful and we especially enjoyed the over the top rendition of Happy Birthday as performed by one of the servers several times throughout the evening. He brought smiles to our faces every single time!

They sat immediately without reservation (that was only fabulous luck), sat on the terrace and although it was cold the propane heaters and fireplace made it cozy and warm. The service was on site, the garlic bread was the best we had so far in California. The Clam Chowder was just fine, but the Halibut dinner (it was a special), the pasta with shrimps and the baked apple spider was so fabulous that there was nothing to take home because we ate every bit. We could not see any of the reasons because it was dark when we arrived, but it is not a long distance from Marina, so we will be back before we go in May.

Very personable ambience. We had a great time to hear the piano player and the best view from the bar. The bartender, Mario, was amazing. He recomended us prime ribs and scallops that were delicious. Thanks Mario for the wonderful service!

Mission Ranch is beautiful and majestic!! The view is breathtaking! Clint Eastwood has built/invested well in this private corner! The food is amazing! I had the Filet Mignon. They have a fancy wine sauce or a pepper corn sauce, but I like mine either cooked in garlic butter or Au naturally with some A 1 steak sauce. I know there are many sacrileges, but I'm what I am. Anyway, my colleague who has dined with me ordered the Lobster Ravioli and the catch of the day that ended with muscles, asparagus and some other things that I cannot remember. My dinner came with a zucchini/Quash mix and an au gratin potato casrole. My whole food was fantastic! I ate half of myself for dinner and the other half of the following day for lunch. My colleague wolfed his whole meal within minutes and pointed out that it was one of the best meals he had in a long time. That's my second time, and it won't be my last!
