“What an incredible anniversary experience at Seventh & Dolores! From the moment we arrived, we felt so special. Our evening started with a lovely surprise, complimentary champagne, followed by chef’s choice starters that were such a thoughtful touch! Our waiter, Oscar, was absolutely phenomenal! His attentiveness, warm hospitality, and attention to detail made the entire evening feel effortless and memorable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Nadeem, who kindly stopped by to say hello. The ambiance was beautiful, the drinks were spot on, and the tomahawk steak was absolutely to die for! We’ve dined in Carmel many times, but I can honestly say this was the most special we’ve ever felt at a restaurant here. It’s rare to find a place where the food, atmosphere, and service all come together so perfectly. Thank you to Oscar and the entire Seventh & Dolores team for making our anniversary so memorable. We will absolutely be back!”

“We had a wonderful experience dining at The Covey. We sat at a window table with a view of their water feature. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. My husband ordered the Branzino and I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. Both dishes were excellent! Not only were the proteins cooked to perfection but the vegetables and farro that accompanied them were also very good. We look forward to dining here again.”

“We had the most delicious meal today at Hidden Gems. The food was absolutely amazing, very tasteful and clearly made with authentic and high quality ingredients. The owner came by and chatted with us and the server checked on us multiple times. The place is a bit tucked in but many of the best eats in Carmel are. It's a beach town with a lot of history so the buildings may be a bit older but are really unique and quaint and have a lot of character so don't expect a rodeo drive type of set up. I have read many of the other reviews regarding the service and the length of time it took for food to arrive, but honestly, good food takes time to prepare. When was the last time you went to a good steak house or seafood place and the food came out in less than 30 mins? We loved our experience and enjoyed in the outdoor atmosphere and ambiance as we waited for our food. Yes, it might have taken a bit longer, but was absolutely delicious and worth every minute of waiting. I would highly recommend this place for the food, the environment, as well as the service! We will definitely be back! ~ John”

“Everything on the average and the price clearly above average. We went there because AI recommended it. We thought there's gonna be a seaside seatings (I blame AI for misleading info) but no. Location only has alley seats and no views to the sea. Be aware when you go.”
