Set high on a hilltop with breathtaking panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, The View, at Chaminade offers a unique dining experience. Indoor and outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the naturally beautiful scenery which compliments the contemporary California Cuisine. Whether it’s sustainable seafood or locally grown produce, The View emphasizes natural ingredients while providing four-diamond service. A 4% surcharge will be added to all guest checks to help cover increases in labor costs and to support a higher minimum wage.

***Please note that our kitchen closes from 1:30pm-2:00pm to prepare for dinner service. Our bar and restaurant remain open during that time, offering a fine selection of local wines, craft beers, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic refreshments to enjoy.

    Breakfast buffet with Santa was the best yet this year. I think they simplified it. The cost was less and the menu was simple but everything was tasty (and GF!). My son loves it

    While family in for holiday and we had the brunch. Best year and we’ve come for the last 20 years. Not sure what changed but clearly there was. Fresh and full the whole time we were there. Outside was lovely and we had a table in this quiet area by the stage. Felt like we were celebrities. Thanks so much.

    Stayed at the hotel all week and dined everyday including Thanksgiving. Unbelievable meal and service. We sat out on patio under the big tented area. Had the best of both worlds. Great view, warm and toasty, enough lighting but not too much and overall fantastic.

    We were so excited to eat here tonight and tomorrow as we are staying at the resort but after tonight we cancelled tomorrow. My appetizer was bland. My husband’s came with stale croutons. My entree has a glutinous sauce that killed the dish and my husband’s chicken sandwich had no flavor and cold fries. As the staff took almost untouched dishes away they said nothing not asked how everything was. And we were there celebrating a birthday and there was zero acknowledgment. So sad.
