Carmel's Bar & Grill

Meal portions are huge! But once again let down on the rib-eye. For $74, I'd expect perfection. But as last time, raw for the most part. It really isn't that hard to cook a thick cut, do so often. Unsire how they can get it wrong. Used to be my go to for rib-eye, but sadly won't be getting it again from there.

Great service and staff. Steak I had was amazing as always

Consistently great simple food and friendly service. Thank you, team, we will be back.

First time at this restaurant with 10 others and OMG the meals were amazing. Service was excellent also. Tiffany & her co-worker made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return.

Good selection of food wine and beer. Prices very reasonable. Service excellent.

Food was very good. Service very friendly and looked after us very well. Food brought to the table was fresh and very tasty. A great night out!

The service was great, very happy and perlite. The steak was cooked perfect and the flavour was delicious. Will definitely come back.

I love this place. Amazing customer service, the food is great and the locations is amazing

# out of 4 meals were good but the pulled pork dish was way too sweet and the potatoes were burnt and soggy. The staff were wonderful and the venue is lovely

Great value for great quality food. Our steaks were perfectly cooked, the staff were attentive and friendly, our food was served quickly.

Amazing food. Absolutely delicious. We had one of carmels favourites the stuffed chicken breast and marinated lamb.

Great food great service highly recommend this venue for any occasion

We were extremely delighted with both the staff, the service, and the meals for an extremely important birthday celebration with family members in attendance. The staff went above and beyond our expectations, making the celebration an event to remember. Our appreciation to all who helped make this senior birthday, such a memorable occasion.

Tasty foods and amazing service! Highly recommend the ribs and wings

Had a fabulous lunch today for my mums 95th birthday, the service started before we even arrived as I had written an enquiry about entry to Carmel’s with a walker, Joe called me to explain best entry and it was also no problem to add 2 extra guests to our booked table. Joe greeted us at the front door and showed us to the table exchanging conversation with our youngest guest of 21/2 to the 95th birthday girl. Table service was excellent staff attentive but not overbearing, meals came out in a reasonable time and portions were a generous serving. Thank you Joe for a happy dining experience and looking forward to returning another time.

We originally had a table and close by was another table with 4 people on it. There weren’t many people in the restaurant and the 4 people were speaking very loudly. Perhaps because it was quiet it seemed worse. We asked the waiter if we could move to a quieter table and he did so immediately -not a problem and we then enjoyed our meal.

Service was a little slow. I was disappointed with the pulled pork dish with slaw etc. the potatoes with melted cheese were solidified hence I believe pre prepared and then reheated. Salmon and fish dishes were good. Burger average.

We booked for 5pm to allow us to have a quick meal and attend the McLaren Vale Pageant. The waiting staff were slow to take our order, two out of five were the wrong meals. The service was so slow that we missed the Pageant.

Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to please us. Food was great, with large serves and plenty to choose from.

excellent food and friendly staff with a great atmosphere. perfect for a birthday dinner

great place to have a date night dinner with a great atmosphere

Happy with most of the service. The young girl with glasses wasn't the best the whole time. Didn't like that she passed the hot meals across the table over other people and the plates were hot to grab. She should have walked around the table and placed next to us. Not the best customer service.

We were made to feel welcome from the minute we walked in the door. Service was perfect. We liked the menu and atmosphere so much we returned the next night and the lovely young waitstaff remembered our drink preferences and treated us like old friends.

First time diners. Food was excellent, value for money was exceptional. Meals were very generous sizes. Good service, very nice pleasant decor. Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back.

Absolutely great food at a very good price definitely return 😊

Excellent food, friendly knowledgeable staff. always a pleasure eating here

Great food, fast service. Friendly staff. Beautiful location. Clean neat

We both had steak. Amazing. Tender, juicy, cooked to our preference.

Love Carmel’s bar and grill. Food always delicious and great service.

We were greeted at the door with a friendly face. Menu had something for everyone. Food was presented well and tasted amazing. Was a little echo sounding and difficult to hear my partner at times.

We had an amazing night. We highly recommend the restaurant

Amazing food, great service, will definitely be back. The pina colada was yummy too.

Prompt service, lovely food . Will come again for sure

Really delicious meal, great service. I would definitely recommend Carmels!

Staff are lovely so accommodating , food great plenty of selection . Lovely atmosphere will definitely be visiting again

I was having lunch with my husband and my brother - very much a family event. The food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. Joe's friendly nature very much added to the day. We will certainly be returning, and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great meal in a friendly environment in McLaren Vale.

Outstanding food! Coupled with great service. Will be back again.

Beautiful, fresh ingredients and well cooked steak and fish. Great service.

Reasonably priced good sized meals (we took some home!) with friendly attentive staff.

Food was excellent, had to ask for cutlery salt and pep water on the table. Just felt like we were spending the night asking for stuff that should have been supplied without asking

Great service, food and wine enjoyed thoroughly ☺️would recommend to friends visiting McLaren Vale 👍🏼

What a great experience and it was absolutely beautiful steak, thank you ❤️

Staff were lovely. It was a little hot where I sat under the heater but most of the evening was ok

The BBQ chicken pizza is the best! Service is amazing. This is one of our favourite places to eat out!

Delicious food as usual. Warm friendly service. We love coming here, and often bring our friends too!

Family friendly restaurant with a good menu and great service. We love going to Carmel's!

Great food, and lovely staff. Will definitely return again for another meal.
