    Lovely atmosphere near the lobby of Carmel Valley Ranch main lodge. It has some great views of the golf course and valley , surrounded by oak trees- classic Carmel Valley. We ate here three different times, twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The service was top notch. Food came out promptly. For breakfast the options looked delicious, but we had the oatmeal and granola / yogurt which are a healthy hit with the kids and our family. For dinner, kids menu hit the spot - good grilled cheese and hotdog :) I had the salmon which was a bit plain - not particularly seasoned but the kimchi rice was really good. Probably would order something else next time but it was nicely plated and tasted good.

    The Valley Kitchen is perfectly and beautifully located right within the Carmel Valley Ranch hotel. If you are a guest of the hotel I'd for sure swing by for a cocktail and I'd recommend you try the risotto. We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to go for the special which was a 16oz NY strip with mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. Unfortunately the steak was tough and lacked flavor which made us sad considering it was $95. The kitchen was kind enough to split each of the entrees in half which made it really easy to share. The service here was absolutely stunning. We had Jose A as our waiter and I cannot say enough good things about him. He predicted our needs, was extremely kind, and really made our night special. He was who every waiter on the planet should be. I also really appreciated his transparency when I asked his opinion on wine and entree options. The restaurant is super nice and does allow for pets as long as weather allows!

    We came here every morning during our stay at Carmel Valley Ranch because we received a $60 daily breakfast voucher, so my review is less sensitive to the prices (reasonable $8 for kids and about $20 for adult entrees). Positives: - Dog friendly - a few tables indoors that allow dogs, also a covered heated outdoor patio - Kid friendly - kids menus, (my) kid approved - buttered noodles, blueberry / chocolate pancakes; high chairs and booster seats available - Decent food - Good food, a bit pricey but not a shocker for hotel restaurant - Good service - Attentive waitstaff - Convenience for folks staying onsite Negatives: - A bit pricey, but reasonable by hotel rearaurant standards Tips: 1. I would say that between ordering a la carte vs the weekend buffet option for breakfast, I enjoyed the $38 per person buffet which included most of the menu a la carte items. Kids eat free, all beverages included so for a family of two hungry adults with two kids paying an extra $20 overall to sample much more variety was worth it! 2. I would look into meal options, my friend's travel agent was able to book us complimentary meals with stay which included $60 daily towards breakfast and $100 for dinner. I believe this was with Hilton rewards.
