Food was 10/10, really good. Only draw back was the higher price range. Service was really good as well, awesome recommendations by our server.

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.

Linguine with clams and mussels was outstanding. Had to have an order of focaccia at the end to enjoy the sauce. Escargot were delicious and the burrata was desert worthy. Ambience was excellent. Maybe a little crowded like many small restaurants are. Wine sommelier abandoned us when we were not ready to make a decision. But, overall was a great evening!

We enjoyed our dinner. We had our dog with us so needed to sit in their outdoor patio. It was a cold evening but they had an overhead heater and gave us blankets.
