    One of our ATF restaurants and bars in Carmel that we frequent often. The special fixed menu dinners they have for holidays are superb. We were back this week for the Thanksgiving dinner and it did not disappoint! Love to sit at the bar and chat with Jun, one of the best mixologists and personable bartenders in Carmel. This is a long standing Carmel restaurant that is at its absolute best these days. A must visit for a drink, lunch, dinner or the bar food menu.

    Accommodated for gluten-free with many of the items on the menu. Food perfectly cooked -- halibut was delicous. A little expensive, but the view FAR outweighs the extra cost -- it was fabulous! Service was nice, attentive.

    The hostess was abrupt and not very friendly but everything else was perfect. Our waitress was fun, offered great selections, and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful. It has a real, subtle Italian feel in an old home. The food is amazing. I had the cannelloni. It was perfect size and perfectly cooked. The bread with the tapenade is a must. My friends’ meals were excellent too. Love this place.
