The best thing we are were the fresh oysters! Didn't enjoy much else on the menu. I was pretty drunk and ate all my fish and chips which I remember very little of. Everyone else said their food was whatever. The oysters were the star though

Reviews
This is a delightful unpretentious restaurant in Carmel that has been around for years and is always a go-to place for lunch with a friend. Thank you for keeping the atmosphere so real
A mixed bag. For instance, the lobster and prawn gnocchi were delicious. But the gnocchi bolognese were drenched in salt (all too typical in Carmel), and the menu did not say that they were stuffed with cheese and topped with green onions—two undesirables for the diner who ordered them. Ask questions when you order.
