A taste of the coast is coming to Carmel.
Longtime homebuilder Paul Estridge Jr. announced his retirement from Carmel-based Estridge Homes LLC earlier this month and wasted no time moving on to his next project: a seafood restaurant at 110 W. Main St. called
Monterey Coastal Cuisine. The former Scotty’s Brewhouse on the ground floor of Carmel’s Sophia Square building has been reworked so that both the décor and the menu evoke Carmel-by-the-sea, California. When it opens on April 3, Monterey’s lunch and dinner menus will offer fresh seafood, sushi, steak, sandwiches, flatbreads and more.
