Very pleasant meal. Service was great and meals perfectly cooked.
Feck off and give me a chance to finish my main course and decide on desserts
The good: opens at 5pm where all other dinner joints open later at 6pm (on Sundays) Friendly front staff and waitress Car parks available Food was overpriced - vegetarian burger cost me $26 with chips and onion rings. Yes it was huge, but quality over quantity in this case, onion rings were soggy, the tomatoes and cucumbers looked sad and patty was dry. My boyfriend’s steak was overlooked, the mashed potatoes were lumpy.
Ordered house dips and bread fro started. It was just plonked down in front of us not telling us what the the dips were. They tasted ok. For mains my husband had a burger which he saw as ok nothing to go out of his way for whereas I had pulled pork which seemed over cooked and sweet. Then it was placed ontop of some potatoes which was soggy
Great food.and wine. We had lovely Sunday lunch. Friendly staff.
Food was great, plenty of choice, good portions and a lovely atmosphere
Have been there stacks of times. Always leave very satisfied. Portions are huge and food is great. Good value for money. Highly recommend.
Was happy with everything The restruant was very busy with tables of 10 plus but we were still looked after in prompt time
It was a lovely meal and the family enjoyed it immensely
It was really lovely! Thank you so much guys 😊
Fantastic all round. Wonderful service beyond normal. Awesome food and vegan options.
staff were friendly, food was nice. Good priced for good portion. Would be good to have more variety of prawn dish on the menu rather than just a prawn salad.
Our table of 10 inc 3 children plus a 2yr old and a 12 month old probably accounted for a noisier venue that night and we were pretty talkative catching up with one another for the first time in 18 months!!! Hope the other patrons weren't too put out.
Fabulous host, food was sensational and the sticky date pudding was the best I have ever had. My favourite place to dine in McLaren Vale.
food was good and plentiful with friendly staff, good value for money
My partner ordered the ribs and enjoyed his meal. However, I ordered the beef schnitzel and did not. It was more crumbing than anything else. It was a really average schnitzel and it was very expensive! I also had to pay an extra $4 for gravy, so my schnitzel ended up costing over $30! Extremely overpriced for an average to below average meal. Was very disappointed. I was just glad I didn’t walk into the restaurant starving. The service and staff were very friendly.
Service was friendly and attention great! There were four of us and three thought the food was good.
Was good - so few diners surprised us - food was very tasty, and well prepared - bit too many potatoes tho'.
Lovely food and lots to choose from, lovely service as well,
Fantastic service and food. Would recommend to anyone looking for dining options in Mclaren Vale
Great atmosphere. Protein was over cooked and dry. Salad base was lovely and fresh.
Great food, excellent portion sizes and value for money! Excellent!
Food cold, salad looked like it had been made hours before serving it. Cobwebs in the restrooms, menus stained and dirty. No atmosphere ( felt like i was eating in a cafeteria). Its only saving grace was the waitressing staff. Not sure if the restaurant has been taken over because its nothing like it use to be.
Good food and good surroundings staff were very gòod and weĺl priced
The service was fast and friendly and the food was spot on...the salt & pepper chilli squid was perfect.

Best ribs ever! Great atmosphere and a nice quiet town feel to the place. The fried ice cream is a must have. Lovely gem of a place
Food and service was amazing, as always. Their 'house wines' are all local wines & are great. Food was delicious & staff were all pleasant, prompt, and helpful. Love Carmel's.
Party of seven had Xmas catch up, everyone enjoyed their meals.friendly staff, magnificent ribs, generous size starters and mains. Very happy full people enjoyed the night.
Great.... one of the best meals we have had for a long time. Staff very friendly, service was excellent, times for food to be bought was very good.
Fabulous meal and fantastic staff were very helpful. We Had steak and Ribs and the ribs were soooo good they fell off the bone. We had a lovely evening thanks
I had the best chicken breast I have ever eaten at any restaurant in the state, country and in the world You couldn't fault anything about the meal Compliments to the Chef😀👍😘
Always a great meal! Great service, pleasant staff and always with a smile! We have been coming to Carmel’s for a long time and will continue to do so!
Excellent food and service .The steaks were to die for cooked exactly how we ordered it, flavors was fantastic. Garlic sauce was good .Recommend this restaurant.We are definitely coming back!
Absolutely beautiful meal, top service and exceptional staff. Will definitely be back and highly recommend Carmel's to anyone looking for first class food at a great price.
Wonderful food, generous servings and great friendly service in a relaxed environment. A bit noisy though, it might just be from the acoustics of the restaurant.
The food was delicious and the service was good. Most enjoyable lunch. We will certainly tell family and friends. See you again next time we go wine tasting.
Lovely food served by attentive staff. Shame so quiet by 9pm but put that down to early spring. Same menu as before does not disappoint.
In McLarenvale Good Location, with parking nearby. Excellent food choices. Service really good. Wine by the glass limited. A great place to have a nice meal food prices upper average but worth it
Food was fantastic and great service 😊 Would recommend to family and friends Had a great night out, first time here and will be coming back
Great food all round, especially the kids chicken nuggets, probably the best we’ve tasted. Highly recommended the dukkah crusted salmon and the American pork ribs. Good all round service from the moment we arrived to the time we left.
Nice, pleasant experience. Staff are very friendly. Little disappointed with our steaks as did t come out cooked as asked, but still enjoyed our night.
Carmel’s is always DELICIOUS! I always get the pulled pork dish, and hubby always gets the steak with the rib rack sauce. You won’t regret 👌🏼
Food was excellent, but they did take a long time to bring the food out when we were one of the only on a there that begin with. They also brought out my 2 year old food last (instead before every body else's). Table service could be improved by checking if we were ready to order earlier, and checking if we wanted more drinks more frequently (we had to shut down a waitress at least 2 or 3 times)
Entree dips were nice. Lamb main was very tasty and the scotch fillet was cooked perfect medium rare. Only issue was slow service but it was a busy night lots of large groups so it's understandable.
Amazing service and beautiful scotch fillet steak. Went on a Wednesday night and it was not too busy so the atmosphere was very nice as well.
Very friendly staff although they needed to check on drinks more often if they are going to offer table service. We would have drank a lot more if we were offered.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great meals and a fantastic atmosphere. We had a very pleasant dining experience. Quite the romantic evening. Most enjoyable experience
