Our company took us here for dinner. The hostess didn’t seat our party they just pointed to some tables. It was a Thursday and not busy. I asked for the mediterranean rice bowl with the dressing on the side. It came out with the dressing all over the entree. The rice was undercooked. This was not my type of restaurant. The server was super sweet and helpful but I will not go back.
Love this place for brunch, wine down Wednesdays, happy hours, and for any other occasion I can think of! Never disappoints and always has loads of delicious gluten free options and drink specials! Definitely one of my favorites!!
We've been coming to Carmel for over 3 yrs now and it has always been top notch. Wine selection is great, food menu changes to keep things fresh. Our favorite bartender Jason is always fun!
First time eating here and the service was amazing. The food was good, and the manger was super nice. I was greeted and seated right away. The lighting was awesome, and there were a few options to choose from on the menu. I only eat seafood, and they were willing to accommodate/substitute items for me. I'll definitely be coming back!
Really enjoyed their updated menu. Many excellent choices. Nothing here disappoints and the value is there.
Excellent food and great service and atmosphere. This is one of the places I suggest to people when I need a place for a business lunch.
I highly recommend Carmel Kitchen!
Unfortunately this will be my first and last time dining here. Having to rate my experience a 1 Star still doesn't come close to the horrfic service my party received this past Sunday for Brunch. We had a party of 4, and was sat within minutes of our entrance. We spent roughly 45 minutes waiting on our cocktails. Our server Alexa brought 1 drink every 15 minutes, her reasoning behind it was, the bartender is new and still learning drinks. New or not this was unacceptable, I would have understood if the resturant was busy but outside of my party it was 5 max tables dinning in. Needless to say based on service I will never return. Once we got our food things slightly headed in the right direction. Hopefully things will improve for future guest.
Good service. Trying to be fine dining but not succeeding. Food was not good.
The restaurant was nicely decorated, staff was friendly and had a good feel when walking in.
The down side was when our starters arrived. another waiter was right behind with the main dishes. That was a mess up and we knew if you sent it back it would just sit. I ordered Rustic Chicken with yellow rice and a friend the same but with veggies. The dishes came out with just chicken on the plate. Another friend ordered the burger, with no lettuce or tomatoes she got just a patty with cheese. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or dessert.
The food itself tasted good and portions were decent. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't that great.
Love this place. The food is good and I have always had a good service experience. The small plates are perfect for lighter appetites, and I like that the wine comes in 3, 6 and 9oz sizes. Do not pass up the Moroccan Chicken entrée. Tonight was the Beet and Arugula Salad with Fried Goat Cheese topped with Shrimp. Perfect!
Welcone Kent, our new Operating Partnerkeep the River flowing bigger and wider.a great dining experience, bar none.
Enough said.
PD
Service is really bad. Waited 40 minutes for our food because waitress Chelsea assumed that we don't want our order. We were waiting 40 minutes and nobody checked on us. Even though food was delicious we will never come back.
Went on a Wednesday, they were having half off bottles of wine. Our server Jessica was super helpful on the menu selections and the iPad we used for ordering was great for seeing pictures of menu items and for a fast response. Dinner seemed to come out on time, however the manager apologized for the wait and offered us free dessert. I'd be happy to go back, and look forward to another great experience like this!
Great food and sophisticated ambiance, and most importantly, 5-star service from the moment you walk in. From the burger to the steak to the seafood risotto, everything was delicious! My wife and I had dinner here tonight and had a very minor issue, barely worth mentioning, but when our server found out she had the manager and chef both at our table to apologize and ensure everything was up to their standards. Mind you, the food was great and we didn't send anything back, but they went above and beyond to make sure our experience was satisfactory. We will come again for the food and atmosphere, but we'll come for life for the service. Thanks to the whole staff!
