Carmel's Bar & Gril

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.

Noise levels were caused by our own party with toddlers. The staff were absoulutely amazing in tolerating our children. They placed us in a great spacious area. I hope the other customers weren't too affected by our families noise! The staff were absoulutely lovely! :)

The food was average, 4out of 9 wernt happy with there meals.

Great people who run the business, polite staff, generous food at reasonable pricing

We ordered our drinks, waited over 30 minutes to receive them! Then there seem to be quite a wait for the food. I seemed to be squashed in at the seating at the table, if I needed to be excused, I wouldn't have been able to get out. I know it was a busy day being Father's Day even so, put on MORE staff to cater for. Just a suggestion!!!!

Very happy. Accomodating staff. Very helpful, mum has a walker and they made sure we had plenty of room. Food was delicious. Thank you

Very relaxing staff were very accommodating and service was excellent

Service wasn't very good, food came out at different times, drink service was non existent no offer of desert etc... abit disappointing

Great food, great service, great venue and priced well - will return

The food was amazing, the staff were great with our kids, the only downside was that drinks are slow to be replaced

Fantastic food, slow drinks service and staff were slow to clear tables

Great food, staff were friendly and the service was fast

Amazing food and service. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. Great value dining out.

As always the food and service was excellent. It’s wasn’t very busy for a Saturday night. They do the best vegan snitty here and the fish n chips portion was huge! My only suggestion would be to consider replacing the chairs. They are very hard/uncomfortable wooden straight back chairs. We will be back though.

Lovely staff, great food and so easy to book online.
