CARMEL BY THE SEA RESTAURANTS

Some Places Stand
the Test of Time

Long before Terry’s became a favorite among Carmel-by-the-Sea restaurants, legends gathered here. Named for Doris Day’s son, renowned record producer Terry Melcher, the restaurant carries a legacy shaped by music, hospitality, and good company. From Doris and Terry to today’s dreamers, history lives on through every gathering, shared story, and memory made.

Well Loved. Well Recognized.
