Reviews for Trailside Café & Beer Garden in Carmel Valley, CA
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, thoughit 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 wasthat the food was enjoyable, but nothing really stood out. Read more
Great beer, good grub, and really friendly service!
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 tomatosoup later, that tart found it's way to our table. Delicious! Our server was lovely-personable and efficient. She knew the menuand backstory to the dishes. Plus she made a perfect espresso macchiato. The music was great background, we could talk easily atour table, everything felt clean and welcoming. Perhaps the new destination in CV? Read more
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 becauseI am mildly allergic to orange juice. We liked this place so much we went back for dinner. Read more
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 tastedreally good! My favorite part were the pancakes. Highly recommend this place for anyone who's passing through Carmel Valley! Read more
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. Read more
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 Sundaymorning, 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 aham 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 asmall kids plate as a side and was floored by the flavor. They offer several different combos of that, so I cannot wait to getback and try more. Friendly servers and quaint and relaxing ambiance, make this a great choice for breakfast or lunch. Gottacheck out dinner next time! Read more
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. Read more
