THE STORY - Will`s Fargo Restaurant
THE STORY A visit to Will’s Fargo Steakhouse + Bar recalls a bygone era when the building served as a roadhouse on the “milk run” between Monterey and Tassajara. In 1959, the former tea room became Will’s Fargo Dining House, a dressed-up saloon that served the best steaks in the county. Owner Will Fay merged the gracious aura of a Victorian parlor with a western “Fargo” way station, dressing up the interior with antiques and collectibles. And Will’s became the center of life in the bucolic valley. As time rolled on, Carmel Valley grew into a modern destination, with world-class wineries, epicurean restaurants and visitors who desired a more elevated experience. Thomas Lowder purchased Will’s Fargo in 2014, turning over operations to his daughter Hunter Lowder and her husband Nick Elliott (they also manage the daily operations at nearby Holman Ranch, a wedding and special event venue that also produces wine and olive oil). The updated Will’s Fargo offers a traditional dining experience with a continental twist (from aged steaks to local seafood to fresh, organic vegetables) — while still maintaining that old Carmel Valley history and charm. The menu from French-born chef Jerome Viel appeals to both strict carnivores and those who want a lighter, healthier meal. There are many vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The Lowders have continued Wills Fargo’s run as a favorite locals’ hangout, and have positioned the property as a prime venue for special events such as banquets, corporate retreats, rehearsal dinners, family reunions and more. In the spirit of old and new, the Will’s Fargo family welcomes a unique blend of locals and visitors into an establishment that celebrates both its unique history and an exciting new chapter. WE CAN ACCOMMODATE ANY REASON TO CELEBRATE! We are happy to customize menus to meet your group’s needs.
