- TTomNorthwest Florida •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Erin , our server, went to extra lengths to recognize that it was our anniversary. She did a phenomenal job! The view from our table was outstanding, as we looked out on to Monterey Bay. The food was excellent! I would highly recommend the Chart House to anyone who’s looking for a great evening.More infoChart House Restaurant - MontereyPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5

- KkateSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 11, 2024We enjoy Hog’s Breath. Great spot with dogs. Spacious enough that we weren’t sitting on top of our neighbor table and our dog had space. We had kids with us and we appreciated the kids menu. Once the sun set, it gets chilly and our kids were pretty cold even though we were under a heater, but it wasn’t pumping out heat too well. My daughter went over and ate her dinner in front of a fire place that had a bench for hanging. Overall, great ambiance. The bar is cute, small, and has a western cabin feel. There’s indoor dining too. Food was good. Clam chowder was great, steamed artichoke was very basic and the aioli im pretty sure was plain mayo but still good enough to eat. Calamari was the best I’ve had in a while. Soft, squid, not overly chewy. The breading was just as it should be. Overall we’d return and recommend!More infoThe Hog's Breath Inn - CarmelPrice: Moderate• American• Carmel•4.4
