Pacific's Edge
About This Spot
Perched on the edge of Carmel’s breathtaking coastline, Pacific’s Edge invites you to slow down and savor moments as much as flavors. As you step inside, the gentle hum of friendly conversations blends with the sweeping ocean views, setting a thoughtful, unhurried pace—a perfect match for those seeking both comfort and a touch of elegance. The dining room opens wide to the horizon, where light shifts with the day and every seat feels like a front-row view to something quietly spectacular.
The atmosphere here strikes a balance between relaxed refinement and approachable warmth. It’s the kind of place where a leisurely brunch can stretch into afternoon chats, and where the attentive service feels intuitively present without ever rushing you. Locals and travelers alike seem drawn not just by the stunning setting but by the quiet joy found in thoughtful, well-crafted meals that unfold naturally alongside good company and the ebb of coastal light.
Menu offerings reflect the rhythm of the region and the ocean’s bounty, inviting shareable moments around dishes that feel both familiar and gently inventive. From delicate seafood touches to hearty, rustic flavors, each plate becomes a small discovery—whether you’re drawn to the rich textures of a carefully prepared filet or the bright, fresh notes of a vibrant ceviche. Drinks here, especially those handcrafted behind the bar, find their way into the conversation as much as the food, punctuating the experience with subtle creativity and comfort.
Visitors often find themselves lingering long after the last bite, caught by the ease of the space and the unmistakable feeling that time is a little softer here. Whether celebrating a special morning, a quiet evening, or a mid-hike pause, Pacific’s Edge offers a grounded escape where the ocean, the flavors, and the people effortlessly come together, creating a simple yet enduring sense of place.

We went for brunch and I would highly, highly recommend it. I don’t like cappuccinos but I could not stop drinking my boyfriend’s. The view was breathtaking. The service was great. The food was so good (new head chef and great ingredients). I would not mind coming back.

5* birthday breakfast.... My husband took me here on my birthday whilst we were on our honeymoon. We loved everything about it. The view is to die for, great service and even better food. Wanted to go for dinner but it was closed the nights we were there.

We've dined here multiple times and must say the food is always incredible but the cocktails are amazing. Especially if they're prepared by Brian, highly recommend his espresso martini, old fashioned and any other strange concoction on the menu because he probably invented it. The food was wonderful, service was great and the dishes were delicious. Will be back again soon.

Delicious food beautifully presented. Spectacular views, sublime atmosphere. The Bloody Mary was bloody weak; did they forget the vodka in all the confusion of olives, celery, lemon wedge, spices? What a treat to spend an afternoon here after a vista views hike. The surrounding lodgings made for an afternoon hike just to reach the farthest suite.

Beautiful brunch spot with the best views!! Had a reservation beforehand , still felt like I would’ve been sat fairly quickly. Service was good and food came out quicker than expected.

We stopped here on our vacation to the area. My 12 year old son, "don't get your hopes up mom it won't be as good as you are imagining it." Ha! He was WRONG. It WAS everything I imagined and more. The food was wonderful and the view was amazing. I loved watching the waves crash against the rocks. Granted when I sat down I wasn't about to let anyone in my family sit in the chair facing the window. My pick of restaurant my pick of the chair. ;)

Pacific’s Edge at Hyatt Carmel Highlands never disappoints. Even on a very busy evening, Jeff and his staff kept their composure, worked together flawlessly, and made sure every guest felt taken care of. That level of professionalism and teamwork truly stood out. This is one of my favorite places on the planet to watch the sunset with my wife. The views are incredible, the atmosphere is unforgettable, and it always feels like a moment worth slowing down for. We got back to our room and felt compelled to write this review right away. Huge thanks to Jeff and the entire team for making the evening so special. Highly recommended.

Remarkable views - particularly during sunset. The food and service were on point. Enjoyed the Ahi Tuna - perfectly done - and Clams with Pasta while watching the glorious sunset. Valet parking is probably the way to go to save time.
