This is an amazing restaurant. One of the best Mediterranean I've ever had. I arrived and was greeted with a friendly welcome by Ben. The food tasted great! I would go back every time I'm in Carmel.

A beyond perfect experience. A great complimentary dip, very tasty main courses such as the lamb shank and Teta’s eggplant dish. Great service and hospitality. Will definitely go back very soon

So delicious! Got the chicken Kabob and my plate was wiped clean by the end so good! Also the pita and hummus was a great starter choice

Wanna splurge a bit? Get their Gorgonzola filet mignon and have a nice glass of wine to go with it.

One of the few places open late. Great home cooked style Mediterranean food with very friendly staff.

The Mishmash chicken is divine. We especially enjoyed the warm hospitality of Ben and his family.

Service was great until the owner shook my hand, asked, "So, do you Yelp?" without letting go of it, and in reply to my "No, not really," said, "Your kind words would be greatly appreciated." Um, I I.

The food was decidedly mediocre and portions were small. Calamari over cooked Given the previous reviews wondering why our meal (chicken was dry, eggplant missing in Teta’s) was so dismal.

Ambiente intimista e acolhedor. O dono é super simpático. As comidas são excelentes. Só a entrada mezza já vale a visita. Mas o ravioli de cordeiro e o salmão a siciliano não ficam atrás.
