At Highlands Inn, every meal is elevated by the beauty of California’s iconic coast. Savor fresh coastal flavors, handcrafted cocktails and thoughtfully prepared cuisine while taking in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from our dramatic cliffside setting. Whether beginning your day with breakfast overlooking Point Lobos, enjoying a leisurely lunch or lingering over a sunset dinner, each dining experience celebrates the natural beauty, relaxed sophistication and welcoming spirit of Carmel.
Discover a remarkable dining experience in a setting that stretches back a hundred years at the Sunset Lounge. From its earliest days, our hotel’s signature restaurant was designed as a glass-enclosed lounge to offer some of the most beautiful views of Carmel’s coastline—a legacy that lives on today. Pair small plates, seafood and local wine with panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and enjoy live music on select nights for memorable special occasions.
Nestled on the craggy bluffs of Carmel Highlands, Pacific’s Edge offers spectacular views of the California coastline along with exceptional cocktails, wine lists and seasonal dishes. Curated by a creative culinary team, our menus are inspired by local ingredients and will have you covered for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
