- BBobSan Francisco Bay Area •21 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHad an amazing experience here. Food was fantastic and plentiful. Selection of a variety if Mediterranean cuisine (Greek, Italien, Spanish, Turkish). They also had some live entertainment that had the place jumping with everyone up dancing to the guitar and drums. It is a small but cozy spot and highly recommend reservations as it is a popular spot.More infoDametra CafePrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Carmel•4.7

- DDonVIPDallas - Fort Worth •136 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 9, 2025Country French setting creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive and efficient. Menu choices were limited. Loved the roasted corn chowder and crab bisque. The dijon lemon chicken was tasty with the cream sauce, but would have been better using a chicken breast instead of a leg and partial thigh. That would have made it easier to eat and cut with a knife. Toasted bread was served with a delicious pesto sauce on the side. Very nice place for a gathering with friends.More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.4
