    Service left a bit to be desired - wine took a while to come, waitress brought salt and pepper to our table then took it away. We had to ask for it again for our main course. Meals were on the cold side, but flavours were good.

    Online booking was easy. Staff were lovely. 🤩 Not too noisy for a Fri night. Food was plenty. Had chicken Parma. Chicken & crumb were perfect. Sauce could have done with some more flavour, but not complaining. Small serve of perfectly cooked chips, & the salad was small and very fresh. No soggy lettuce. I'll certainly go back again.

    Took a long time to even get a drink after we were seated, had to ask for bottle of water for table, one child's meal and garlic bread were completely forgotten. Food was ok but very slow considering restaurant was no where near capacity

    Main meals were cooked at the same time as entree, meaning by the time we asked for the meal they had been resting for 10 mins and had become dry, this service is ok in a pub but at a restaurant a main should not be started until the entree is returned.

    Been many times, great friendly service but the food was just ok, prices seem high $29 for chick parmi or $36 for salmon and 6 chips, both with the same small salad. Won’t be rushing back, which is a shame.

    Food was great but service was poor. They did not seem to have enough staff for the amount of customers who were there. They did cater very well for some allergies

    I had a lovely Birthday dinner at Carmels with a group of friends. Everyone loved their meal and it all tasted delicious. Our waitress was wonderful and helped with our meal selections when we couldn’t decide. Only thing that was a little disappointing was our garlic bread which was a weird bread roll. Cut into fours. But overall a wonderful experience, which is why Carmel’s is one of our favourite restaurants! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Service was amazing. Food was lovely but my chicken with spinach and dried tomatoes was a bit pink. It was nice but needed to be cooked longer. I couldn’t eat it all. We will be back. Overall it was really good. Thank you 🙏🏻 Paula
