5 /5 Marc Garcia: We visited Hay’s Place on Veterans Day, which is always a busy time around Pebble Beach — good thing we made reservations online (super easy process).
Our server Marina was fantastic — very attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We sat outside on the patio with a fire pit, overlooking the busy Hay Golf Course, which made for a fun and lively atmosphere.
The kids’ menu and setting were perfect for families. Our son had the kids cheeseburger with chips and salsa — total banger, he loved it.
The menu says Mexican inspired, but the flavors leaned more toward authentic Mexican gourmet — at least the dishes we tried. We ordered the Enchiladas del Mar and Enchiladas de Mole, both excellent. My wife is a bit of a mole connoisseur, and she said it was one of the best she’s had.
We also had a couple of cocktails — the Arnie’s Cadillac Margarita and the Aztec Old-Fashioned — both perfectly made and delicious.
From the service and food to the ambience, setting, and views, everything was spot on. The restaurant has a more relaxed, casual vibe compared to other spots at the Pebble Beach Resort, making it a great place for families or anyone looking to unwind, talk, and enjoy excellent food in a beautiful setting.
Highly recommend!
