Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Monterey

Porta Bella was a fabulous dining experience! Cozy atmosphere, attentive staff provided excellent service, and amazing food. Highly recommend this restaurant in the heart of beautiful Carmel!

Try the raspberry sauce Ask for the conservation room Mark was a lovely waiter. Very attentive, very interested in our experience. Actually one of the best waiters I’ve experienced in the country

Charming place with a great bakery. Food was delicious, prices were reasonable, waitstaff was friendly and helpful. We were there near closing, so it was very quiet, too(in a good way). Excellent French dishes.

We 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!

Jack's has a beautiful setting, service was excellent and the food was delicious! Very reasonably priced, as well.
