"We arrived and were seated by a lively table celebrating a birthday. The noise level from this table became unbearable. The restaurant was incredibly understanding and moved us almost immediately to a far more quiet area. The food as always was excellent, including cocktails and wine! There were four of us. We order the artichokes, haystack onion rings, salad, ribs and abalone. All selections were delicious!"

"The food was good. However, the service was awful. While we were the only 2 POCs in the dining room, we were treated very differently from the other diners. While we sat down at the same time as another couple and ordered first, the other couple received their water, glass of wine, soup and appetizer and ate most of it before we even received our sparkling water and Diet Coke. The assorted cheese platter we ordered looked like it had sat around for a few days before being served to us. The mushroom soup was good. The King Salmon and the sand dab fish entree were both very tasty. All the while we were there, the waiter was engaging in small talk and checking on the other tables. We received none of this. No drink refills, nothing. I asked to substitute the seasonal vegetables on my sand dab entree for Swiss chard. The waiter said of course. But about 20 minutes after we finished eating our appetizers, we were told that they were out of Swiss chard but we could get spinach instead. We declined and took the seasonal vegetables. We waited another 20 minutes (40 minutes total) after we had already finished our cheese plate and soup for the entrees to arrive. The couple we mentioned earlier was long gone. The dining room had two other tables eating. It was not crowded. Just all around lousy service. They also added a $5 credit card convenience fee and calculated the tip with this fee included (I did not realize until after). Total for 1 cup of soup, assorted cheese plate, 2 entrees, 1 Diet Coke and a bottle of Pellegrino with tip included was $158. I don’t mind paying high prices if the service is worth it but clearly it was not. Do better."

"This is a must if you are visiting Carmel by the sea. We made our reservations a week and half out for a Saturday and time slots were already filling up so make yours well in advance. You walk in and are immediately met with the beautiful sights in the pastry counter. A friendly greeting and a heartfelt welcome and then a short walk into a setting that is warm and inviting. Our server was so friendly and warm we felt like family. The Beef short ribs are one of my most common orders and this dish was among my favorites of all time. The other order at the table was the Ossobuco from the specials. The meat was so tender and the flavors amazing. We paired with an Italian Red and finished with Pot au Chocolat. I highly recommend dining here and we will definitely return if we come back through town."

"We’ve Had dinner there before that was excellent. But this time , group of 4 , I ordered a 60.00$ ribeye. Rare/medium was mostly medium and way way too chewy everyone agreed. Great flavor though , loved the roasted carrots and mushrooms. Which we added as sides as not a lot comes with the entree. But of course we will be back sometime for a third try ."

"We went out for dinner and I ordered the steak fries, while my friend had the fish. The food was okay, but the service was outstanding. Our server, a young woman who I believe was either Serbian or Romanian, was incredibly sweet and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the wine selection and gave us great advice on which glasses would pair best with our meal. She really made our dining experience enjoyable."
