Woodys Library Restaurant★

Old-town Carmel has grown up around Kevin Rider’s warm, bookish restaurant housed in a renovated Carnegie library (circa 1913). Though pork chops and steaks headline the entrées, the menu continues to evolve. Most intriguing is the chapter on comfort food. Homemade potpies place a delicate puff pastry atop rich, well-seasoned stew. Lunch and dinner daily, brunch Sun.
