Phenomenal food and good experience. For that type of restaurant I was really disappointed in the waiter. Very indifferent and way too unfriendly for that caliber of a restaurant. He didn’t try to conversant in any way or even make us feel like he valued us being there. When you eat at a high end restaurant you want to feel important and that you are in a special place. Our waiter did not give us that experience.

We had not been to Porta Bella in all our years coming to Carmel. We are glad we finally did. The salmon was fresh and delicious. Our server was quite competent. The atmosphere was cozy. It is a short walk to our hotel, La Playa.
