Yelp.com Review - by Cheng S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Rightly deserves being on the Gourmet Top 50, and probably deserves a higher spot than #20. We thought it was better than Daniel. Extremely high quality ingredients, cooked creatively without being...

1.0 of 5 stars. RUDE! We showed up a little late for our reservation, good thing though, because we found that they had horribly overbooked. There was an entire room full of foreign tourists. There was barely...

4.0 of 5 stars. I wasnnt sure whether to give 4or 5 stars because while I have no complaints about the place and I did really like it, $500 for a room is very high, especially to not have a fireplace (seems many in...

5.0 of 5 stars. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The restaurant is cozy and adorable. I think there were only 12 tables, but they had a lot of servers and the service was spectacular. Service alone receives...

5.0 of 5 stars. A friend and I dined at Aubergine the other night while on a getaway in Carmel. This cozy but formal place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle and just might have delivered the best white glove...

5.0 of 5 stars. This was one of the best cheese plates I've ever had - it was all about the accompanists, unfortunately the only one I remember is the eclipsing cherry basil compote. The dinner menu had a goat cheese...

4.0 of 5 stars. I love being interviewed, by firelight, cocktail in hand. I love having my personal likes and dislikes treated with the weight of affairs of state. That's correct: you cannot sit down to dinner unless...

4.0 of 5 stars. L'Auberge is a very small restaurant that is hosted inside the Hotel Auberge of Carmel. Street parking is ample. The sommelier (?) tried to push champagne on us when we first arrived but after the...

5.0 of 5 stars. I'd actually give this restaurant 4-1/2 stars -- the 1/2 star deduction is for the super LONG pauses between courses. (It took us 3 hours to eat about 9 courses... I've been to 9 course Chinese...
