Valley Kitchen
Valley Kitchen restaurant, the culinary centerpiece of Carmel Valley Ranch, underwent a stunning transformation this past year. Guests will discover a revitalized atmosphere, innovative dishes celebrating regional flavors, and a brand-new pool bar. With new Executive Chef Fernando Reyes at the helm, he brings a distinguished background from destinations such as Pendry Park City, Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, and Maravilla Los Cabos, offering a unique culinary vision to the restaurant. The redesign includes refreshed interiors, enhanced patio dining, relaxed poolside “pods,” and an elegant private dining space.
