We are locals and come here once in a while. For the last 6 months we avoided it because the service had gotten so bad that it was practically non-existent. Unless you had 2+ hours to sit at breakfast, forget it. We gave it another chance two weeks ago and due to the economy it was not very busy and... more

While staying at Tickle Pink Inn, we had planned on eating at Mission Ranch for our anniversary. However, there were horrible storms that evening and we decided to stick close by and eat at the Carmel Market located a few steps away in the Highland Inn nextdoor. We were not dissapointed. The host asked if we were celebrating anything and... more

The restaurant is "sold" as a place to see the sunset and enjoy a nice, leisurely early evening dinner. Well, if you are not seated outside (and not the tables stuck in the corner by the wall, which is the one we got) you really don't get to enjoy the sunset at all or just partially. However, you do get... more

We love the Pacific Highlands Inn, but the main restaurant is no longer open for lunch. The default restaurant for lunch is the California Market. The menu looks good. The setting is rustic with both seating inside and outside (heat lamps) with a specular view of a little bay between Point Lobos and Yankee Point (overlooking several zillion dollar homes,... more

My wife and I stayed at the Tickle Pink Inn and after hearing that California Market was nearby, decided to walk down the road and have dinner there. The views are truly spectacular – you look out onto the pounding surf and rocks, as well as various homes/hotels on the cliffs. The restaurant has heat lamps for those who want... more

We came here based on the recomendation of a staff at the hotel we stayed at (Quail Lodge). The food was good (I couldn't finish my fish tacos, there was just too much!), but the best part of this place was the view. Sitting on the deck the view was fantastic and the binoculars they provide is a great touch.... more

Great spot with a great view! more

My boyfriend and i came here for a light dinner during our stay at the Tickle Pink Inn next door. Even though it was December, we decided to sit outside and be that much closer to the ocean. Heat lamps were on, and the host brought us a nice, wool blanket to drape over our legs. I would say the... more

We decided to go to California Market (located in the Highlands Inn Hyatt) as it was walking distance from our hotel (Tickle Pink). We had the best meal of our trip to California. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all great! We both had the best steak we had in a very long time and California Market is... more
