Carmel-by-the-Sea Restaurants - Terry's Restaurant + Lounge at Cypress Inn

Don't Miss the Popular, Dog-Friendly Terry's Lounge in the Iconic Cypress Inn

Carmel-by-the-Sea is well known as a hangout for celebrities of all types, especially film stars. The late Doris Day was one of those screen idols and she so fell in love with Carmel that she not only lived here, she also purchased the iconic and historic Cypress Inn. Terry's Lounge is named in honor of her son, record producer Terry Melcher.

Terry's has a cozy atmosphere and it's also a great place to meet locals. Doris was famous for her love of four-legged friends, and that love extends to Terry's reputation as a premier spot to bring canines along.

Of course, humans are well cared for also. Menu highlights include Breaded and Pan-Seared Fresh Monterey Sanddabs with a Tarragon Cream Sauce, Doris Day's Favorite Chicken Salad with Capers, Water Chestnuts and Mayonnaise served in a Lettuce Cup and the Cypress Burger (billed as "the Best Burger in Carmel"). Lunch and dinner are served either inside in the bar and dining room which feature vintage movie posters, or al fresco on a beautiful, heated outdoor deck with fireplace. As for beverages, Terry's Lounge mixologists craft a wide range of signature cocktails, many inspired by Doris Day's movie-star friends. There's also an extensive wine list to complement any meal. True to its namesake and his singer-turned-movie-star mother, Terry's Lounge features live music Thursday through Sunday performed by talented Carmel-area musicians.

Open for lunch and dinner, 11:30-8:30pm Monday - Saturday and 11:00-8:30 on Sunday. 

Whether guests are longtime wine enthusiasts, curious to try something new or simply looking for a lively Wednesday evening in Carmel, the series offers a chance to sip, savor and mingle in the relaxed atmosphere of Terry's Restaurant + Lounge.

And because it wouldn't be Cypress Inn without its four-legged regulars, well-behaved canine companions are welcome to join the fun.

Sip. Savor. Mingle. Cheers to California Wine Month.
