   Food was great, enjoyed the wines too but LA prices are a joke. 15$ for bread, $32 for couscous, $46 for fried fish! I’d be embarrassed to charge someone $32 for couscous and I didn’t order it purely out of principle. I did order the bread despite being disgusted by the price but I had read about it before going and wanted to try it

   Brunch at Carmel is amazing! We’ve always enjoyed dinner there and brunch may even supersede that. Must tries: Jerusalem Bagel with the eggplant/feta brûlée (i don’t like eggplant and this was delicious); the Tel Aviv omelet; and their Shakshuka. Also the host and our server were so welcoming, friendly, pleasant and had wonderful energy.

   Fantastic birthday dinner for our daughter and her husband. First time for all of us, and we all said, as we walked out, we will definitely be back! We shared the octopus, shish kebab, and 2 schnitzel, which were fantastic. Everything was so fresh and the cucumber salad was such a nice side compliment. Really friendly staff and great ambiance.They greeted us acknowledging I had called ahead about the birthday but then forgot about the birthday dessert arrangements — but they made up for it. Only possible improvement might be the Sticky date pudding which was a little dry and could use soaking in a sauce like our family makes in Australia. Otherwise all was amazing!

   I recently had a fantastic first experience at Carmel, and I was eager to visit since I was a big fan of the previous establishment at this location. Carmel has certainly raised the bar in every aspect, and I can't praise it enough. I will definitely be returning, whether with friends or by myself, because this restaurant is worth experiencing in any setting!

   I had the most amazing Valentine’s dinner experience. Everything was so thoughtful and beautifully done. They had Polaroid photography which made the night feel even more special. The food was absolutely to die for and maybe the best meal I have had in LA in a while. Every bite was perfect and the whole atmosphere was just so charming. Such a memorable night.
