Toro
Carmel by the Sea · Carmel By The Sea · Japanese
Toro is a genuine surprise — a small Japanese tasting destination in Carmel that takes Burgundy as seriously as its omakase. The prices are real, but so is the quality, and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in its debut year tells you the effort isn't accidental.

The Pocket Carmel
Carmel by the Sea · Carmel By The Sea · Californian, Farm to Table
The Pocket punches well above what you'd expect from a small Carmel restaurant — a thoughtfully assembled 200-plus bottle list, fair pricing, and Wine Spectator recognition that's actually deserved. Send a friend here and tell them to skip the Caymus.

Grasing's
Carmel By The Sea · Carmel By The Sea · American, Steakhouse
Grasing's is the real deal — a Grand Award wine list in a genuinely beautiful setting, with the kind of cellar depth that justifies the drive to Carmel all on its own. Go with a budget, go with someone who loves wine, and don't order the Caymus.
