Restaurants near Carmel Mountain Ranch Community Park

We enjoyed a wonderful, romantic dinner celebrating my husband’s birthday. The service was truly exceptional and the food was delicious, though I would have appreciated larger portions given the pricing. For example, the single raviolo—while absolutely delicious—felt too small to justify the $23 price tag. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary crème brûlée “birthday bite,” which was a lovely touch and very tasty. The dining room is cozy and beautifully designed, though quite chilly on our visit (it seemed the heat was off despite the cooler San Diego evening). My husband’s cod dish was fantastic, and the warm bread roll served with house-made butter and horseradish spread was a standout start to the meal. Expect to spend around $200 per couple—even with just one beer per adult and tap water. I’d recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater if dining indoors on a cooler night. Now that we know what to expect, we’ll likely return—especially for the top-notch service, which was a true 5-star experience.

Server(s) were great, food outstanding. Great value. Luckily, the sun came out just in time. Very enjoyable afternoon.

This is out third visit to The Shop. Outside of Chicago, this is my go-to place to get some good deep dish pizza. They also have a fun and tasty cocktail selection. The service is also consistently great. I will be back!

Always wonderful! Food and service never disappoint. Last night I tried their crispy rice appetizer for the first time and it is now a favorite item! Great atmosphere if you want a fun night out without the drive downtown. I love that this gem is less than 15 minutes from home.

We loved our dinner. The ambience was great and the service was fantastic. We’ll be back!!
