    Dined with a party of 10 that included 2 children under 4. The parents were concerned about whether the restaurant would be kid-friendly. It was VERY kid friendly. And we all had a delightful experience. The staff were so kind and accommodating. Owner even stopped by several times to check on us. The food was excellent and a great value for Carmel. Chicken marsala was up with the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back!

    We went with a large group and the food and beer were great. I am picky and this place delivered. Try the lamb burger!
