    Nice place. Seems kind of pricey. I enjoyed my seafood risotto, although there didn’t seem anything special to justify its price. My wife described her arugula salad as “stringy”.

    Reserved a booth 10 days prior to date. Was on time for reservation and told nothing available except table next to bar. It was very loud in that area and the hosts were adamant that it was our only option, even though we had a reservation and we’re on time. Our waiter didn’t seem to enjoy his job. Although this was our first not so great experience. We’ve had enough good experiences that we will try again. The food remains consistently good

    Pleasant modern ambiance, valet parking is very helpful in crowded arts section of Carmel. Excellent food - we particularly enjoyed the lemon posset, a very tasty desert previously unknown to us.
