   Our Server was amazing! He was very upbeat, gave honest recommendations and was on top of our needs. The food however was a different story. One person ordered a filet cooked medium, which arrived very well done. Server was great & got a new filet. Second try - half the steak was medium & the rest was bloody and the texture of the steak did not seem like a filet. Again - server was amazing and comped that dish. The eggplant appetizer was really good and had good flavor. Two people got carribean bass and the flavor was bland. Two others got the grilled salmon - flavor was good but mashed potatoes were cold. Totally NOT worth the prices on the menu overall. Hate to give bad review because our server was truly amazing but you come to a restaurant for the Food first, service second.

   Uber delicious tofu soup with pork belly and mandu. Spam kimbap was awesome and their skirt steak sandwich was to die for. And we got to sit at the Mayor's Table, which was apparently where Clint Eastwood used to sit back then. We keep coming here every time we visit Carmel by-the-sea. Very highly recommended!

   I took my sister here for her birthday. This was our first time here with the new owners. We went about five years ago, and it was OK. It is MUCH better now. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was upgraded. I liked the hanging lights and fireplace. I gave the service four stars because our server wore a ski jacket the entire time. It was so strange. Did he spill something on his shirt? It felt like someone off the street was serving us. He was friendly and attentive, but getting past the down jacket was hard. I would recommend this restaurant, but I do not think I will go for a special occasion again.

   Our experience was wonderful from the moment we walked in, our host Sergio which was also our waiter was very friendly. He made us feel like family. He gave my husband and I a few menu suggestions which were delicious, the seafood pasta was amazing and the sea bass with the Caribbean sauce was divine. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance as well and situated in the heart of Ocean Avenue. We couldn’t have picked a better restaurant to celebrate our anniversary.

   The service is the real shining star at this restaurant. The food was delicious, don’t get me wrong, but our server was charming, hilarious, with perfect timing and attention too. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name, but he has a dog named Miso (for the management team who will know exactly who this is). I had the baked salmon which was perfectly cooked. My husband had the coconut curry and our friend had chicken Parmesan and the Korean short ribs. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service!

   Food was good, but not spectacular for the price. Steak was somewhat overcooked. Cheesecake and chocolate cake were goos. Mushroom ravioli was good. Service was good. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Wine by the glass was way too expensive.

   The rib eye steak was very good, the side dishes were good. I would recommend this restaurant for the value.

   The restaurant is beautiful, warm and inviting. The service is absolutely the best. They are friendly, accommodating and really good at their jobs. The food is fresh, seasonal and delicious. Portions are ample but not overwhelming. The prices are not low but are fair and based on the total experience it’s worth every penny. I’d go here every week if I could.

    Somewhat dismayed with the restaurant charging an additional 3.5% on the bill for using a credit card. Seemed a little tacky. Should just bake that into the price of the dishes.
