   Great place, great service (👍 Juan) and very good value especially considering where (Carmel) it’s located. Will recommend to everyone.

   Our server, Sergio was the best. Personable, knowledgeable, not pushy, good sense of humor and very welcoming. We had the early dinner specials. I usually order the East West KAlbi-style ribs and they are always delicious. This time I tried the Sandabs dinner and was disappointed in how bland the sandabs tasted. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan with pasta and it was delicious. We were sitting up front in front of the windows and near the front door and we should have asked for the door to be closed if possible as it got quite cold. Except for my sandabs and getting quite cold (even a server was wearing a coat), I would have given 5-stars.

   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.
