We visited Carmel in June. In the evening we walked down the road to the Mission Ranch restaurant. It was a first come first served place. They were busy and we thought we would have to wait a while but we got a table within 10 minutes, mainly because most people wanted tables outside and we were happy enough to... more

Outside dining at it's best! View and atmosphere is relaxing no matter what the weather, except rain. The best shredded horseradish I've had, on the generous prime rib, fantastic. On weekends we,ve seen owner Clint Eastwood roaming around the grounds sampling the food. more

We so wanted to like this place--great view, nice people, decent service. But you just can't past the food. C- at best and we had the prime rib.

The regular (aka 'small") cut of PR was 16 oz. Yes you read that correctly, it was 1 lb of beautifully tender prime rib. The MR doesn't appear to advertize and its clear why.... more

Mission Ranch Restaurant in Carmel did not disappoint. The views are spectacular and well worth the visit. The lush grounds and beautiful trees and follage as you walk around are magnificent. Have a cocktail on the deck and soak in the beauty. Thank you to Clint Eastwood for preserving this area. What a pity if it were not preserved. Carol... more

Other than very nice ocean side atmosphere, a disappointing experience. Some of the menu items were ok, however others particularly a fish dinner were not good at all. The fish was served spoiled, attempts to address the situation were met by very surly unresponsive management. Our table was not the only one to have these problems. The staff was generally... more
