"We walked here the other day for dinner with some friends without a reservation. We were seated quickly indoors and had great attentive service. We got fresh baked bread with fresh made pesto, which was amazing. The drinks were excellent, and the food was delicious considering most of Carmel-by-the-Sea restaurants are considered to be a tourist traps. The food quality was excellent however, the prices are very high for the establishment what they say location location location. I typically don’t order white pasta, but this particular pasta was al dente in the ingredients of mussels and prawns, were fresh. My friend ordered the wild mushroom risotto which has a touch of truffles. I got to taste it, and it was excellent."
