Alvarado Street Brewery & Bistro — Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea

This was my first, but Definitely not my last time at Yeast of Eden The staff was warm and welcoming when we entered. It was early in the day and they weren't busy. We were given our choice of a table. We sat at one of the high tables with bar stools which was Very comfortable. We were immediately greeted by the server who was full of smiles and a Great personality. Our beverage order was taken and served as we went over the menu. One of us was GF and the server went over the menu and told us exactly which items were GF. He was quite knowledgeable of the product he was serving. We each ordered something different. The food was served within fifteen minutes. Each dish was beautifully presented. The kitchen knows what their doing. The Pub Steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor along with the fries, which were hot and Tasty, served with a. AIOLI sauce. The Papaya Salad was Beautiful and seasoned well. The third entree, Street Tacos also a vision, were Excellent. For dessert we ordered one of each. The Churros were Hot and freshly made, served with a Fabulous Chocolate sauce. The Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel ice cream was Wonderful and the Tequila Lime ice cream was Perfect for our GF guest. There isn't anything that wasn't on Point. We All look forward to a return visit soon. The Perfect Lunch, Professional pleasant service and a warm ambiance. I'd give this...

Ha, the manager of this establishment is an absolute joke.

We had a party of 20-25 guests book a reservation on a Monday night for 7-9 PM. As per their hours online, the restaurant showed it WAS open until 9 PM.

At 8 PM, our waitress made a last call for food because she said the restaurant was officially closed. We were confused because we still had two late party members driving to the venue and needed to order food for them. Also, the hours ONLINE said 9 PM.

However, the manager explained that they actually close at 8 PM and that their hours online were “wrong”, so they would not allow our two guests into the restaurants. The manager seemed to speak like a cyborg and was completely inept at accommodating our request, despite the large amount of food and drinks we were already spending that night.

Also- the manager said that “if I let those two guests in, I’ll let the whole community inside too.” What does that even mean??? We honestly felt bad for our waitress who had to put up with this nonsense and confusion that was clearly neither of our faults besides the manager’s.

Needless to say- the manager is NOT accommodating to larger parties,...

Honestly rated them lower than what their food and drink quality should have rated. Would have given a 5 if their new/special releases were on tap. Instead you can order 10-12 beers to drink there that aren’t available to go and vice versa… lots of cans for $6/per you can’t try before u buy. And today, yikes!! I was given a bottle of the newly released 500ml stout for $21 but when I got my check it was $45. That’s crazy pricing but it honestly would have been ok had I been quoted $45. Staff was not aware of the release nor on the price and of course it wasn’t on tap to try. They will not put a new release on until another keg pops. Talked to servers at area restaurants and they mentioned it being difficult to manage the timing on what was there and to go

Good beer, good food, nice people, nice location. There’s just some really obvious things to fix. Would have bought more each visit to go while we were on vacation but relied on sources like Untappd. Easily a 5 with some...
