    The correct was pretty bad. From barking dogs who were allowed to sit on the table and eat to very sub par food quality across different food items- like remarkably poor- to a mean spirited chef- will not be returning to SUR. The menu did not list mayo as an ingredient in corn- afterall who puts mayo on corn? I’m allergic to mayo. I suspected there was mayo and so we asked- waitress said I don’t think so- she asked and the cook confirmed mayo. We asked to give us non mayo corn we got a piece 1/3 the size. The brussel sprouts had three or four small pieces of feta. The fried chicken was re fried as were the fries. Remarkably poor food. Abd dogs on the table!?!?! Disgusting. Waitress was very good. She was tipped well as she deserved it. I will not return to SUR.

    My partner and I dined at Sur at the Barnyard on 6/30/25. I made reservations in advance because we were celebrating our 20th anniversary (there was a helpful spot on the reservation form to note any special occasion). Happy smiles greeted us when we arrived, and our server, Alpha, was there quickly to take drink and appetizer orders. My love, David, enjoyed the clam chowder and was kind enough to share :) and our fried artichoke app and the "don't miss" cheese bread were super delicious. David ordered the Chicken Marsala very much, moist and tender chicken with a flavorful sauce and smooth and creamy mashed potatoes. I chose the Lobster Ravioli... nice bites of lobster in beautifully cooked raviolis, in a lovely marsala sauce with bits of tomato and corn that popped freshness in each bite. Throughout, Alpha was attentive, engaging, and enjoyable to talk to. As he delivered the mains, he teased us as to our visit to "the Arctic" for the dessert course, and continued to mention each time he checked on us. Once we'd completed the amazing meal, it was time to "put on our parkas" and visit the Arctic. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but let me just say that the treat you get when you indicate a special occasion is tremendously fun, completely delicious, and more than enough for 2. We had an amazing time, food, drinks, and ambiance were pure perfection. But truly the star of the evening was Alpha. His presence, care, and sparkling personality truly propelled the evening from lovely and enjoyable to special and memorable. We will ABSOLUTELY be visiting Sur at the Barnyard any time we visit Carmel.

    I tried this restaurant for the first time while on vacation. A lot of time was spent online and flipping through visitor magazines (probably passed over 30 other places) before landing on this one. It did not disappoint! The ambiance was perfect, and our server Grant was friendly, and knowledgeable. He suggested the walnut-crusted chicken served over butternut squash ravioli, and it was absolutely delicious. It paired nicely with a glass of Daou Chardonnay. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, and the whole experience was a very pleasant surprise. I honestly think this place would do incredibly well in North County San Diego. I’d be a regular for sure!

    Although the food and service was amazing, I thought the prices were a little too high for the quality of the food. But I understand it's Carmel, and so it goes ....
