    A classic, festive, special place to dine. Loved the weathered wood shingle and the colorful holiday lights adorning the building. Old school menu which I found refreshing. We enjoyed the calamari steak, the sand dabs, and shared a Grand Marnier souffle. There were several birthday celebrations at the restaurant the Sunday night we dined. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. I especially loved the buttery goodness of my sand dabs. Also my hearts of palm salad wit the ginger sesame dressing was very good. Grand Marnier souffle was lovely. There is nothing hipster about this restaurant, and that's why I enjoyed it.

    Excellent food and service. Warm, caring, and professional staff. Very comfortable dining rooms. It always has interesting specials, and when compared to other fine dining spots in Carmel, it offers very good value. It is our number one choice for special occasions, but it's too good to just leave for special occasions.

    This restaurant is always delicious! It’s a meal like going to your French or Italian grandmas table. Homey, comfortable, welcoming, and dependably delicious! We have taken all kinds of people there from all different backgrounds and taste. Not one has had a critical thing to say! The Frisch onion soup is among the best ever! We were celebrating our anniversary last night and they actually cared and without telling them, brought us a special dessert and wished us happy anniversary. That’s rare these days! Charming and delightful!
