Corkscrew Cafe

Lovely, simple Californian cuisine. Service is warm and welcoming—they seated us at 8 even though the cafe closed at 8:30, and we didn’t feel rushed in the least bit even though we closed the place.
All the food was flavored well with simple seasoning that let the fresh ingredients shine. The combination of corn and shishito pepper was unexpected but provided a bright contrast for what was a hearty, satisfying pizza.
The dessert sounded good in theory but was too strong in rose flavor.
Would love to go back for a meal when back in the area.

A great place to re-energize after some wine tasting. The smell of the pizza as you walk in is welcoming. They have indoor seating as well as a huge outdoor section. We chose to sit outside and got seated next to a beautiful sculpture with fish in the bottom. The sound of water falling was very peaceful and the friendly fish kept us entertained. Service was quick, but nothing special.

We got a pepperoni pizza and it was delicious! The crust was perfectly burnt on the edges, crispy, and very tasty! Good portion of pepperoni and lots of delicious cheese. Wine selection includes some of the wineries that have tasting rooms near by.

Will definitely come back the next time we are in the area! There is a parking lot in the front and it is also within walking distance of many wineries nearby.

This place is great. Located in the beautiful Carmel Valley, it provides some amazing food in a great atmosphere. Make sure to catch them on a nice sunny day (easy to do out here) to enjoy their extensive outdoor seating. If that's not good enough, its walking distance to nearly a dozen wine tasting rooms!

We tried SEVERAL restaurants in the Carmel region and this one has all others beat on “best food”. It was our 13 year anniversary.

Our server, Christian, provided the best experience a person could imagine. SERVICE WAS STELLAR.

We highly recommend this place and will be back again.

Today we had the sausage pizza and the beet salad. Both were very fresh and totally delicious. Just the right amount of meat on the pizza, and a perfect, light crust. Our server was very friendly and did a very good job as well. Sat outside and enjoyed butterflies and hummingbirds. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back!

Excellent wine and food and rustic atmosphere . pet Friendly ! Just a short walk from our Luxury vacation in the Carmel Valley Ca.
Close to this wine tasting and excellent restaurants. Enjoy the Carmel Valley

Can’t go wrong eating here. Unassuming yet elegant. Great outdoor seating with heaters.
The pizzas and fish tacos are delicious and the best. The pizza will take you to Italy , but I’m changing my rating because they changed the fish tacos‌. Their previous recipe had the fish served hot out of the fryer with fresh cabbage slaw. The new recipes is cooked red cabbage that’s is sweet. Their salad also has a sweet taste, I’m not sure why and who is making the decision????? Wine selection are local and French.
Local wines the Georis and cow girl both decent but not excellent. The are their own wineries.

Don’t order the tacos anymore!! It’s no longer 😌

Warm interior and service complement the wood stove pizzas, mains and salads. Try the roasted garlic starter. Small, but hearty menu. Nice local wine and beer list. Easy parking.

Amazing place and food. Plus go taste at Georis and bring a bottle for your meal and they don't charge any corkage fees

Super friendly service. Pizza was delicious. No wait. They have cowgirl vineyards wine. Smash burger was absolutely wonderful, highly recommend.
