Is Brophy's Tavern worth it? The basics are limited but useful: Brophy's Tavern is in Carmel-by-the-Sea, has a casual dress code, is listed at about $35 per person. That makes it easiest to evaluate as a casual stop rather than as a venue with confirmed fine-dining, tasting-menu, or special-occasion details.
