- DDanelleVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •73 reviews4.0Dined todayWe had not been to Porta Bella in all our years coming to Carmel. We are glad we finally did. The salmon was fresh and delicious. Our server was quite competent. The atmosphere was cozy. It is a short walk to our hotel, La Playa.More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.5
- RRobinVIPNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food and service was spectacular! Wonderful fish/beef and good portion sizes. It is very expensive but that's Carmel! They ran out of sticky toffee pudding so despite that bummer it was a terrific dining experience.More infoGrasing'sPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carmel•4.6

- XXinBaltimore / Maryland •5 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Dec 2024Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.More infoEdwin's Kaona CarmelPrice: Moderate• Asian• Carmel•4.2
