Edgar's Quail Lodge - Carmel By the Sea

This was one of the best Thanksgiving dinners out that I have ever had. I loved the atmosphere with families eating around us, it felt like a lively ho holiday. Very warm and inviting. The food was really good and that's saying alot since I'm a vegetarian. I had the cauliflower chestnut soup and it was so creamy and yummy, I have to try that recipe at home. Then the vegetarian paella with lots of mushrooms was very fulfilling. Just had a couple bites of my husband's pumpkin pie, also delicious. The service was a little slow but that's to be expected on a holiday. Will definitely go back

Loved the new items on menu! Wait time for dinner was a little slow but server was awesome

We dined here twice while staying at the Lodge, once for dinner without a reservation when we were treated rather poorly by the hostess who seemed to be inconvenienced by us showing up. And again for lunch with a reservation . I feel like some of the female wait staff here have an attitude, there is a rush to order and a feeling like making a slight modification to an item is not welcomed me I cant figure out if they are a nice resort restaurant or a casual after golf place. The ambience and service say very casual but the prices are more inline with a more upscale restaurant. Example, for a side of potatoes...For us, we would return for the convenience and decent food, but will be wary

New chef but same menu? Only noticeable change was smaller portions at the same price. I like this place, but was a little disappointed. Hopefully, the new chef will get his act together soon

We really enjoy having lunch on the patio. It's very relaxing and the food is always delicious. We especially enjoy going the day before the Quail car show watching all the beautiful cars setting up for the show on Friday
