    Austin was a great server. Made our experience awesome. The desserts, yes plural, were awesome. The place gets packed in the evening.

    The food was ok. Nothing great. The service was good. The pricing was high considering the food being just mediocre.

    Booked this place for dinner during my trip to Carmel based on good reviews but we didn't have a good experience. Made a reservation for 7:45. Show up 5 minutes early. We were seated at 8:15, ordered at 8:30, and then only had two sodas on the table by 8:55. By 8:55 I asked to pay for drinks and please, cancel our appetizers and food order as we had two kids who were tired by 8:55. But they insisted we stay for dinner. Food was rushed out shortly after only to have under-seasoned, poorly prepared food for all (salad without dressing for one, a cooked but dirty brussel sprout with a worm and dirt for another, and 2 plates with cold french fries for the kids). We then asked for the check again so we could just go but turn around again took 10-15 minutes as they insisted they "make it up to us" with dessert and didn't bring my card back until then. This "special" chocolate ice cream dessert was brought out with dry ice (the kids thought it was magical) but it was also a fail because the bowl holding the dry ice had a hole in it, so as soon as the water was poured to make the "smoke", it came gushing out onto our table leaving us with a table covered in water and us trying to contain it while we waited for more napkins to dry it out. Overall I left feeling like our waiter tried his best so I did leave a tip for him but restaurant management and food prep were a disaster. With so many good restaurants in Carmel, don't waste your time here

    Service top tier. Food ehh it’s okay. I expected it better for the price we paid. But I can’t complain one bit about the customer service it was definitely top tier which made my experience great!

    We’ve been coming to Carmel for decades and this location was originally a bookstore. It’s been a couple of restaurants but Sur is a winner. Some locals suggested we try it and it was amazing. The cheese bread is addictive as an appetizer. My wife had chicken Marsala which she loved and finished (which she often doesn’t). I had lobster ravioli and the sauce was delicious with lots of lobster meat, not just lobster flavoring. Austin, our server, was great. He was friendly and professional and gave us some history about the area. It was pretty quiet since we were there early on a Wednesday but it got busier when we were leaving. Austin said they’re now open for lunch as well. We were full but split some delicious gelato that was very refreshing. We will definitely be back.
