    Overpriced for the type of food you receive. Ended up going here because this place comes up in recommendations, but I’m here to tell you that for the quality and value, you’re better off spending your money elsewhere or buying groceries and cooking at home.

    SUR is consistently good, the food and the service. Our server, Austin adds so much to the dining experience with his cheerfulness and outstanding service. The hostess and the other waitstaff also are pleasant and professional. I always look forward to my weekend lunch or dinners anytime.

    This was our first time dining at this restaurant. We went on a Thursday at around 6 pm. Setting is beautiful both on the outside and the inside. We sat inside with our 2 little boys. We ordered 6 different items (several appetizers as well as tacos and burgers). All portions were generous, and food was delicious. We loved that they had a couple of different sauce options for each appetizer. They had plated most appetizers on beds of veggies with slices of orange and lime. These are simple details which made each dish look more appetizing and colorful. As you know, kids eat with their eyes. We did not order any kid dishes. Our boys loved it all. Our server tonight was Grant. He was outstanding. Very attentive without being intrusive, warm and friendly with a very nice smile. Grant as well as the restaurant manager were very detail oriented. For example, they quickly noticed that we needed bigger plates for appetizers and offered it to us before we even asked. Each time I looked up for assistance, they noticed and assisted us right away. As a bonus, they did a very cute birthday celebration for my husband (their ice cream bon bon comes over dry ice... they added a lot of dry ice and turned it into a cute festive show.) I believe we have found a new favorite spot.

    Service and food quality is always on point. I enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant and my server yesterday (gosh, forgot his name- I went in at 11:30 am) was excellent.

    Our first time here. The staff was very accommodating. We really enjoyed meeting Alpha, our host and server Alex was amazing. Such a fun and varied menu. We had trouble deciding what to order, we honestly wanted to try everything. The food and cocktails were very good and we would definitely return on our next visit through Carmel. What a great find.

    We actually dined here twice in one week- it was so good! The first night it was quiet and the second night it was very busy and lively. Luckily that night they put us In a quiet corner. Both servers were great, especially Austin. Friendly and personable. We had the grilled Miso glazed salmon which was excellent , and filet mignon sliders and the chicken Marsala, which also were very good. The second night the majority of us had the seafood linguine which was so delicious! I’d definitely go back for that! The portion was huge and we had plenty of leftovers! All in all, service and food were great and we’ll definitely go back next time we are in town!
