The restaurant is an indoor/outdoor dining location. Also dog friendly. Our service was very good here. I ordered the chicken wings appetizer. Very flavorful and had good heat. It was a good portion and filling.
Lovely service. We sat on the patio on the most beautiful day in December. The food was seasoned perfectly and tasted very fresh. Wish this was closer to home for us so we could visit more often!
I drove to Carmel Valley to meet my brother and go to the races. We stayed just down the road. This was a nice place for lunch. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance. My Bratwurst was tasty. I enjoyed my time there.
We were in town for a family wedding and needed to grab lunch before checking into our hotel. The reviews for Trailside were pretty good so we gave it a try. Cute little cafe with a rustic cowboy vibe. Plenty of parking and a small patio to enjoy a meal in the gorgeous Carmel Valley sunshine. The inside was super cute and our server was AMAZING!! I sadly can't remember her name but she was super friendly and shared her favorite wine tasting spots near by. Here's what we ordered: GRILLED ARTICHOKE: GET THIS!! It was delicious and plenty for the 5 of us to share as a starter. TRAILSIDE SALAD: basic but fresh FISH AND CHIPS: Huge portions served with thin cut fries. Fish was tender and flaky and fries were plentiful. We kept taking bites off my brother's plate. Lol BLT w/TOTS: My mom and I split this and it was plenty. The bread was so good and the bacon was ... well .. perfect as were the Uber fresh produce. The tots were crisp and yummy. PESTO CHICKEN SANDO: This was the mother of all sandwiches. My daughter ordered this and could only eat half because it was giant. Really good though. Overall this place is a gem both in food and service and I'd absolutely come back. They also have a full bar and Happy Hour specials.
Best Mini chocolate pancakes in Carmel Valley! Beautiful location. Can't go wrong sitting indoor or outdoor. A MUST TRY!
