- NNicoleVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined todayWe started with french onion soup, excellent and the harvest salad very refreshing, really enjoyed the Roque for dressing which was a touch lighter than usual. We each (3 people) ordered the evenings specials. My veal Osso Buco was exceptional! Ordering desserts to go is a must, also exceptional. Service was on point with the right amount of table touches, and everyone was gracious, lovely ambience. I felt like I was in a cozy French village LOVED ITMore infoPatisserie Boissiere RestaurantPrice: Moderate• French• Carmel•4.7
- MMohammadVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had an absolutely wonderful experience at Portabella! The food was exceptional - every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. What really stood out, however, was the service. Although the space was a bit tight, the staff made us feel incredibly comfortable and went out of their way to accommodate our baby. They provided swift, attentive service, which was a huge help as we were in a bit of a rush. It’s rare to find a place that balances great food with such thoughtful and efficient service. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.5
- KKarenVIPCalifornia Central Coast •24 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoSo pleasant for a large older restaurant with a huge fireplace, wood- beamed callings, white tableclothes. We were quickly greeted by our server Pedro who answered questions and shared the specials. He was attentive but not obtrusive throughout the evening. My husband’s filet was prepared to perfection. My NY was overcooked but was immediately taken to be replaced. The host/maitre d’ checked on us as well. Desserts were delicious - lemon cheesecake with raspberries NY style and Gran Marnier soufle - and beautifully presented. We lingered over wine and a cordial. We will definitely return when we are in the area.More infoFandangoPrice: Expensive• European• Pacific Grove•4.7

- JJanSan Francisco Bay Area •28 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 12, 2024What a find. It was a wonderful pretty little place for lunch. The Food was absolutely delicious. My husband had the garlic soufflé and I had the mushroom soufflé. The soup, salad and dessert soufflés were also delicious! The best food both of us have eaten! The lovely woman who waited on us and the chef are partners and do everything. There are four tables. It is a very unique experience. We will definitely go back when we’re in Carmel again.More infoLe SouffléPrice: Very Expensive• French• Carmel•5
