The ambiance was very nice and romantic. Service was great! Was there with my husband celebrating our anniversary. I tried escargot for the first time and the waiter made it a special experience for me . The food was very good . I would have given this place a 5 on food Instead a 3 but my ravioli was undercooked and cold. I was very surprised because my husbands food was good and warm. Slightly disappointed; otherwise great restaurant.

Horrible experience. Ruined our anniversary dinner. Worst service I’ve ver had. I went to complain and I had a server get in my face aggressively telling me to go outside. The manager came and was complete rude , unapologetic, and cared nothing about us or the horrible experience. I can’t even put in to words how bad it was. Do not go there or waste your money. any other restaurant in Carmel would be a better choice.
