Our server was quite competent. The atmosphere was cozy. It is a short walk to our hotel, La Playa.More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.5
- BBrandonSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoPhenomenal food and good experience. For that type of restaurant I was really disappointed in the waiter. Very indifferent and way too unfriendly for that caliber of a restaurant. He didn’t try to conversant in any way or even make us feel like he valued us being there. When you eat at a high end restaurant you want to feel important and that you are in a special place. Our waiter did not give us that experience.More infoCasanova Restaurant CarmelPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6

- JJanSan Francisco Bay Area •27 reviews5.0Dined on 12 Dec 2024What a find. It was a wonderful pretty little place for lunch. The Food was absolutely delicious. My husband had the garlic soufflé and I had the mushroom soufflé. The soup, salad and dessert soufflés were also delicious! The best food both of us have eaten! The lovely woman who waited on us and the chef are partners and do everything. There are four tables. It is a very unique experience. We will definitely go back when we’re in Carmel again.More infoLe SouffléPrice: Very Expensive• French• Carmel•5
