          We have dined here before and had a good experience. Last night was “mixed”. Wine selection is amazing and we had a nice champagne and Napa red. Burrata and gnocchi appetizers were tasty. Upon ordering our entrees, we were informed they were “out” of Dover sole, agnolotti and short ribs. This was unacceptable not to share upon seating so we would avoid these considerations. Waitress wasn’t overly interested in being at work last night. Wasn’t attentive to pouring wine, filling water glasses or checking on the table. At the end of the meal, we looked at a desert list and wanted to share a few deserts to celebrate a birthday. Again, informed “after the fact” they were out of a few selections. Meals were nicely prepared, served hot and tasty. Just didn’t like the service and preparedness of the waitress

          Great food, fabulous venue & ok service. To be fair it was NYE so very busy but we felt like we had to wave our server down multiple times for basic needs such as water or cleaning table.

          This place was outstanding! The food was great & the service was even better! We came for our anniversary and got treated with Prosecco just as we arrived! Jacob was very attentive about the menu and made our experience great! We would come back to Carmel just to eat here again!

          Phenomenal 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.
