Although our reservations may appear fully booked on OpenTable, we are happy to welcome walk-in guests. We hold some flexibility for walk-ins and will gladly seat you as tables become available. While we can’t guarantee a specific wait time we’ll always do our best to accommodate you.
Thank you for your patience during this transition.

The Restaurant at Mission Ranch will be accepting a limited number of secured Thanksgiving Day reservations beginning Monday, October 26that 9AM.
This year, all reservations will be made through the Open Table platform link at the top of the page.
We will accept reservations until all available time slots are filled. At that time, guests can request to be notified if an open reservation becomes available through the platform.
Due to the nature of the reservation process, we will not be taking reservations over the phone. We apologize for any inconvenience, this may cause.
A limited number of reservations will be accepted, and we will sell out quickly.
Reservations will be guaranteed indoor seating only. Patio seating will be available, on a walk-in basis, weather permitting. Any party larger than 8 will require separate reservations and we cannot guarantee the same time slot or the same area seating.
Any special seating or accommodations requests should be made in the comment section of your reservation. We will do our best to accommodate but cannot guarantee specific seating.
We will be sitting Thanksgiving dinner from 1 PM until 7:45 PM.
We will be serving a traditional 3 course Thanksgiving meal.

Breakfast will not be served, and our regular dinner menu will not be available.
A valid credit card on file will be required to secure your reservation.
The Restaurant at Mission Ranch is one of the most spectacular spots to dine on the Monterey Peninsula. The view is gorgeous: sheep grazing in our meadow, Santa Lucia Mountains in the near distance and Point Lobos with the Pacific Ocean's crashing waves. The Restaurant at Mission Ranch offers a varied and pleasing menu, moderately priced, featuring Classic American Cuisine.
As we continue to enhance the dining experience at Mission Ranch Restaurant, we are making a few thoughtful changes to our dining hours and offerings. As part of these changes,
we will open at 4:00pm, and will no longer be offering our Early Grazing or Bar Menu.
While a few things may be changing, the warm hospitality, familiar favorites and special Mission Ranch experience you know, and love will remain the same.
