Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We ate indoors and the food was excellent and the staff friendly. We were missing our dog left back in England and had great fun seeing the many dogs in the bar. It was organised chaos! Lovely to see all the Doris Day film posters.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. We both ordered the cheese plate to start then both had the Sand Dabs. Wonderful! Great atmosphere outside and great food. Will be back soon!

Had lunch in the courtyard which was very enjoyable. Excellent Bloody Mary's. Live jazz on Sunday afternoons.

We got seated at a table near the back and...apparently got forgotten. After 15 minutes we asked the first waiter type person we saw for menus (she was a busser), seemed surprised the hostess hadn't brought us menus but gave them to us along with some water. Another 15 minutes later we called someone over to ask if we could place an order... our waiter finally materialized to tell us something we had ordered wasn't available. Then came back another couple of minutes later to say something else wasn't available. Then a third time for the same thing....we finally got our food nearly an hour after we entered. The only reason we stayed so long was that a number of other restaurants had closed and the few still open had really long queues. But we soon understood why this one had no lines. Such a pity, the food was really good, but will never go back to have to experience that low level of service again.

We were in Carmel for a day trip over the Memorial Day weekend. All most every place was fully booked. Managed to luckily get in due to a no show. Had an amazing meal, great little bar with a great selection of drinks and small plates. Great patio, food was simply amazing, service was off due to the full house. Try the lamb rack and Monterey Sand Dabs. You won't go wrong here. They have live music on the weekends I believe. The crowd is on the mature side. Another awesome feature is that you are allowed to bring your dog with you as long as it's on it's best behavior. Enjoy !
