Nepenthe (~35-40 min south on Hwy 1; food was good, but you are mostly paying for the view), and
Tarpy's Roadshouse (near MRY airport). We recommend them all.
Another place we have been to in the past and
really liked was
Dametra Cafe in Carmel; some very good friends were there in Feb and continue to rave about it.
For a "view restaurant" that is a bit closer than Nepenthe (~15 min), try the
Rocky Point Restaurant. But have not been there in a while, and not sure it has re-opened yet.
Bon appetit!
