Incredible food and even better service! Had a very delicious lunch. Austin was our server and he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and enjoying our experience. Thank you Austin! Thank you Sur at The Barnyard!!

The restaurant was surprisingly great. We were visiting from San Diego and had just gotten into town. We had a reservation and they were able to seat us on time. The wings were very juicy and well cooked. Highly recommend the bacon cheese bread and the scallop risotto. And the cocktails were great too. Would go again if I'm ever in this area again. Our server Grant was great!

Have been here twice with my wife and also with friends. The first time around, forgot what we ordered, but the mud pie was absolutely delicious. That, we cannot forgot. The second time, we came with friends and ordered burger with fries, fish tacos, salad, and fried chicken dinner. I had the fish tacos - unfortunately, it needed seasoning. It was not the best. My friend said the burger needed seasoning as well, not the best. However, the salad was great and my wife liked the fried chicken dinner. Great service, no complaints there. Maybe it was an off night, but the place was full. I would not order the fish tacos or burger. Would need to try something else. Again, get the mud pie - you’ll thank me!

Dinner at SUR Restaurant in Carmel Valley – A Garden Gem! We had a 6pm reservation at SUR Restaurant, nestled in the flower-filled garden courtyard of The Barnyard in Carmel Valley, and we’re so glad we booked ahead—it was absolutely packed by the time we left! To kick things off, we shared a round of appetizers: perfectly crispy fried calamari, flavorful ahi wontons, and succulent shrimp. Each one was fresh and well-prepared, setting the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu offered a great variety—something for everyone—which made it hard to decide. All four of us were torn but ultimately landed on the Sand Dabs, and we were so glad we did. They were hands-down the best we’ve ever had. Our server mentioned they’re the most requested item on the menu, and it’s easy to see why. If you’re

Thursday afternoon stroll through the Barnyard and much to our surprise, Sur was open for lunch! Perfect mix of sweet and savory, The Chicken and Waffle plate, delicious 😋 If you haven't tried it, you should, we ordered the Chicken boneless and the Honey and Maple Syrup makes for the perfect sauces.
