Mediterranean and mainly Italian inspired cuisine, with a nice menu mixing seafood and meats.

Mediterranean cuisine and mainly Italian inspired, with a nice menu turned towards the ocean: mussels with white wine, linguine with seafood, scallops with asparagus... But also a lamb ossobuco, pasta carbonara, risottto with wild mushrooms... The wines are delicious, the small terrace is very pleasant, flowers are placed everywhere and even in the plates, the tables are spaced the ones of the others, Franck Sinatra coos in mute... Charming and romantic ! Well, it's a bit expensive, but when you like...

Friendly atmosphere, reasonably priced food. Risotto was tasty. Vine selection is rather limited as for Carmel, but ok.

Very average Italian French restaurant . Not vegetarian friendly and no wifi. Limited menu and good choices. Don’t recommend.

Came here for my brother’s birthday. Everything was wonderful, except my pasta dish.

Attaching the seafood linguini (last item from the menu). One was extremely saltier than the other (noticed the big difference in color of the sauce; as captured in the picture attached). Brought it up to the waiter more of a FYI as I had already finished the dish; noticed it’s very different both in the color and the taste when compared to my brother’s same dish. Instead of just acknowledging my observation, the server kept telling me that I should have spoken up earlier and that it’s normal since the color could be caused by the lobster broth… I was looking for solely an acknowledgement not a discussion. Even said to him that I am not trying to ask for anything since I’ve already finished the dish. Not the professionalism that I would expect at a restaurant like this…

The owner came out later to acknowledge the differences in quality, apologized for the experience, and offered to take the pasta off of the receipt at the very end. This was more of a customer service that I would expect from a restaurant like this. Thank you to the owner.
