    Mission was very lovely. We showed up a little early for our reservation and it seemed like we were the only people who were not regulars. The host was charming and sat us at a lovely window seat. My family was hungry from traveling and we started with a Caesar salad and the bone marrow app. Both excellent. There are not cocktails available so I had a nice red wine rec by our server after some discussion about what I like. We had fad several fish dishes ( cod and swordfish ) and wagyu beef cheek pasta and also steak frites. All were delish. Would recommend this restaurant with out hesitation. Get a reservation. Only downside was the fact that they don’t have a bar but don’t let that discourage you from coming here. Excellent

    We dine here often. Every time we’re in Carmel from SF. A must for us. Today we also had lunch outside. Always a pleasure. I must say the wait staff could be quicker once seated. Bringing water and a menu for lunch. Love PortaBella.

    This place was so good and enjoyable on so many levels, it is difficult to to be honest instead of selfishly keeping it as secret as a place that has been in operation since the late 1950s can be. An absolute treasure in every way.

    Flaherty's is a longstanding, tiny gem, right in the middle of Ocean Avenue. The food is delicious and service is friendly and attentive. The tables are few, and the restaurant is nothing fancy, but our visit had a wonderful hometown feel. Be sure to make a reservation to avoid a long wait.
