TERRY’S RESTAURANT + LOUNGE

Always in
Good Company

The namesake of Doris Day’s beloved son, Terry’s Restaurant + Lounge has been a Carmel tradition for decades, and now, we extend the invitation to you. Spend an afternoon unhurried on our patio, sharing bold Mediterranean flavors in the coastal sunshine. As the sun dips below the horizon, settle into our dining room, pull up a seat at the bar, or join us in the historic living room, where classic cocktails and the atmosphere of yesteryear invite you to linger a little longer.
