Exceptional dining experience!!! To say it was an outstanding dinner would be an understatement!!!

Finished our week-long trip to NorCal with an early dinner here and had nothing short of an amazing meal. Worth the michelin star for sure

There were about 3-4 oz of fish/shellfish and 5-6oz of lamb/beef among my 8 courses. More abundant than you'd expect from a tasting menu. In fact, the most filling tasting menu I've ever experienced. On top of that one of the more impressive I've experienced, especially their sommelier John-- he was a pleasure.

Chef Justin does an amazing job with locally sourced ingredients and a very imaginative approach--every course was excellent! Service was impeccable, friendly and non-intrusive. Great wine list with very knowledgeable somms. Well-deserving of its Michelin status!

Wonderful evening. An outstanding meal worthy of its reputation, with exceptional service and attention to detail. Highly recommend the experience.

For a very special occasion, when price is no object, this restaurant is exceptional. But it is beyond pricey, with wines in the several hundred dollar range and a corkage fee at a whopping 85.00 dollars.

Definitely deserve the Michelin Star if not 2 of them. The gem of Carmel and my favorite restaurant in that town. Incredible service that is very attentive but not overbearing. Each of the 8 courses was artfully presented and explained . Looking forward to my next visit

Fabulous. Gorgeous food and presentation, service was lovely and informative. Everything (including wine) was delicious. Beyond expectations!
