"Huge suites" on "peaceful, tranquil grounds" "await the weary traveler" at this "gem in the Carmel Valley" that's "perfect for a romantic getaway" what with the "comfortable rooms" "right on the golf course" trumpeting "wonderful, wood-burning fireplaces"; there are "fabulous views of the mountains" and "wild deer and turkeys wander the grounds", but some sigh that it's "not as luxurious as expected" since the decor "still looks like it's out of the '80s."

With a new name that reflects chef Christophe Grosjean's dedication to fresh vegetables, this "luxurious" 12-table establishment in the "exclusive" L'Auberge inn remains one of the "best in Carmel", thanks to "out-of-this-world" "nouveau" Cal-French dinners served by a "spot-on" staff; the portion police quip "don't forget your magnifying glass", while others warn "if you have to ask how much it costs, don't bother", but most agree it's "perfect" for a "grown-up special occasion."

This "Carmel treasure", known for its "tiny wine bar" and adjacent wine shop, is even "better" since the "new open kitchen" recently adopted a "more casual Californian-French bistro" menu laced with Monterey County provisions; the user-"friendly" vino prices and "polished atmosphere" remain, and, although reports on the staff are mixed, "service from [owner] David Fink himself is always a plus."

Like something "out of a fairy tale", this "romantic", "relaxing" Carmel "cottage" with an "amazing" wine cellar presents "fabulous" "country" French–Northern Italian dishes in "beautiful copper pots" for meals reminiscent of "Tuscany or Provence"; whether "inside by the fireplace" or out on the "dog-friendly" patio, "tourists", "weekenders" and others who have "been going for 30 years" declare it "always delights."

"Seafood salvation" – that's what you'll find at Kenny and Tina Fukumoto's "mecca" for Cal-Asian chow, where the "good vibrations" and "lovely space in a basement (you have to go there to understand)" "make you feel relaxed and happy"; expect "outstanding" dishes made from the "freshest fish and local organic produce", "service with care" and "reasonable prices"; all in all, it's a "great way to end the day in Carmel."

The name translates as 'the baker', so naturally there's the "smell of fresh bread" in the air at this "higher end" Italian chain where the "authentic", "consistently tasty" offerings arrive in "elegantly casual" indoor/outdoor environs; "super weekly specials", "monthly regional menus" and a "solid wine selection" add to its "reliable" reputation and help explain the somewhat "upscale" price point.

"Spectacular sunsets" draw "romantics" to this pop-the-question "perch on the cliffs of Carmel highlands", where "magnificent" French–New American fare, "rustic" decor and "elegant" service complete the picture; it's a bit too "pretentious" and "pricey" for some, though frugal gourmets "save big bucks" by "grazing in the cocktail lounge that has the same fantastic view."

"Not too formal, not too casual", this "busy" Bay Area chainlet is a "go-to" for "quick lunches" and "festive", "family-friendly" dinners of pizza, "delicious" pastas and other Boot bites; proponents praise their "great patios", but pickier patrons say the quality "varies by location" and lament that "nothing will wow you" "if you want Italian made with love."

"Put this on your list to play" aver admirers of this "flat", "forgiving", "old-school" resort layout that "isn't on the ocean" but is "a value compared to its neighbors" "in the beautiful Carmel Valley"; for some, it "lacks excitement", but most factor in the "convenient" facilities ("the driving range is right outside the pro shop"), "great staff" and "outstanding restaurant" when they dub it the "perfect escape" for a "romantic golf getaway."

"Get there well before" dusk to score one of the "best seats", because the "dreamy" "view of the Pacific at sunset is truly unparalleled" at this "romantic" lounge "perched over Highway 1" in Carmel's Park Hyatt; "if you're lucky", there'll also be "live music and a warming fire", so though "you know it's gonna be expensive – and it is", "you still wish you could do it every day."

Patrons "feel like former owner Clint Eastwood might walk in any time" at this "venerable Carmel watering hole" with an Old West theme; it's "cozy" if you snag a seat near the "outdoor fireplace" and "way laid-back" for "meeting some interesting people", but an unforgivin' few fuss that it's "growing ever older", along with the "over-50 crowd."
