Great value

From Scratch is one of the Monterey Peninsula's hidden jewels. Tucked in the Barnyard, a small, open air shopping center just south of Carmel, it offers uncommonly good home cooked food at affordable prices. If you're a tourist, this is the place to go when you want a break from upscale restaurants and crave a meal that's healthy, homey and casual. Throw in a bottle of very reasonably priced meal, and you'll leave happy.
If you live nearby, consider throwing a party at From Scratch when you don't want to cook or clean up afterwards. In January, 2006 when From Scratch was closed for dinner, I hosted a dinner party there and was highly satisifed with the food, atmosphere and service.
