    Why go

    VIN By the Sea Wine Bar + Restaurant is worth booking if the plan is wine-led rather than chef-led. The draw is a polished, intimate Carmel-by-the-Sea room with a selected by-the-glass focus and shareable plates that can work as snacks or dinner. It is strongest for dates and small groups, less suited to anyone seeking a formal tasting-menu experience.
