Hogs Breath Inn - (Near Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA)

Kalea Williams What a PERFECT New Year’s Eve celebration. I took myself out to dinner alone and I was seriously convinced no one was possibly having as great as a night as I was lol! The drinks, the food, the atmosphere…absolutely perfect every single time, but especially tonight. I have to mention, I was so impressed when my bartender must have noticed me babysitting my drink and at some point just poured it into a new chilled glass. No one’s ever done that. Top tier service. The live band was truly the cherry on top. And might I add… they poured complimentary glasses of celebratory champagne for the whole restaurant. I felt spoiled! Can’t wait to come back.

Blair Walsh The S’more’s latte was so good and they even blow torched marshmallows! The service here is great and the manager was kind and professional. Thank you!

Doug Maner This is a small Italian restaurant run by a husband and wife team. They are very attentive to their diners, everyone gets some attention from them, they are very hands on. The food is Southern Italian and is prepared in a open kitchen with bar seating opposite so you can watch the awesomeness happen. The food is very well prepared, reasonably priced, and has legitimate portions. You wont walk away hungry!

Greg R Back for a second time, and the 8oz Filet Mignon didnt disappoint! This time I paired it with the prawns and the fantastic twice-baked potato. Seriously, this steak is a standout. The gorgonzola butter is a game-changer, adding a wonderful depth of flavor to the already perfectly seasoned and cooked (medium-rare) steak. The twice-baked potato was also spot on and delicious. The minestrone soup was another highlight - perfectly seasoned and a joy to eat.

eleanor jones Nestled right on Washington Street in historic Sonora, Diamondback delivers big on both atmosphere and flavor—especially with dishes like the Southwest Grilled Chicken Sandwich (we couldn’t resist adding crispy applewood-smoked bacon) and the Braised Pork Tostada. Southwest Grilled Chicken Sandwich + Bacon The tender, marinated chicken breast arrives perfectly char-grilled, with just enough smoky char to complement the bright poblano-lime aioli. Piling on bacon was a stroke of genius: it adds salty crunch without overpowering the other elements. Each bite combines juicy chicken, melty cheese creating a “southwest fiesta” in your mouth. Braised Pork Tostada The house-braised pork falls apart at the touch of a fork, richly flavored from hours of slow cooking in their signature ancho-chipotle broth. Lay atop a crisp, house-fried tortilla,-bright notes that cut through the pork’s savory depth. You’ll taste hints of orange zest and toasted cumin in every forkful. Quality & Presentation Both dishes arrive artfully plated—nothing over-garnished, but each component feels thoughtfully placed. Portions are generous (you’ll leave full and satisfied), and the ingredients consistently taste as fresh as they look. Overall Diamondback’s blend of down-home comfort and inventive flavor profiles shines through on every plate. If you’re in Sonora and craving a bold, well-executed sandwich or a tostada that hums with layered spice, you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend pairing your meal with a glass of wine for the ultimate Sonora dining experience.
