Roy’s at Pebble Beach
2700 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach

The menu at Roy’s will take you on a culinary tour from Honolulu through Asia, to the States and back with dishes that excite and comfort at the same time—like roasted Korean-style Jidori half chicken served atop a cloud of coconut mashed potatoes and sweet and sour sauce. Jidori is the Kobe-beef of chicken, an indicator things are served a bit on the fancy side here. If exotic is not your thing, then enjoy some waffles and eggs—a classic—during breakfast.
