VIN By the Sea Wine Bar + Restaurant

"I only came here after I couldn't get into the other 'fancier' spots—and what a wonderful choice it turned out to be. After two weeks away from home, this was by far the best meal of my entire trip. I had the raw oysters on the half shell, the salty spring mussels, and the black cod. I eat a lot of fish, but I've never had cod cooked so tender and flavorful. I actually recommended it to the table next to me, and they loved it too. This place is a gem。"

"This review is long overdue. I’m a local to Carmel and love what vin by the sea has brought to the community. I’ve been here for brunch and dinner and the service has never disappointed! Chef Paul’s food is delicious and the seasonal menus are always a treat to look forward to! If you haven’t been to their pasta Wednesday, check it out! The featured pasta is always unique and delicious and changes Weekly. Thank you vin by the sea, you are a great addition to the village!"

"Wow what a lovely meal!!! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the staff gave us an extra dessert and a card. Very nice touch."
