- KKarenCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined todayWent on christmas eve. It was expectedly crowded. Food was awesome. Great service. Its a pricey place, we paid $180 for two people. But we don’t eat out much so it was great! The waitress was very nice, attentive. Not like Il Fornaio in Carmel on Thanksgiving. That place had horrible service!! Tarpys is great!More infoTarpy's RoadhousePrice: Moderate• American • Monterey•4.6
- BBrandonSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoPhenomenal food and good experience. For that type of restaurant I was really disappointed in the waiter. Very indifferent and way too unfriendly for that caliber of a restaurant. He didn’t try to conversant in any way or even make us feel like he valued us being there. When you eat at a high end restaurant you want to feel important and that you are in a special place. Our waiter did not give us that experience.More infoCasanova Restaurant CarmelPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6
