Carmel's Bar & Gril

Good, large, quality for money meals. Nice atmosphere, great chocolate brownie.

Expensive. Lamb was tough and inedible. No compensation for poor food.

Lovely restaurant, we hadn't been here for a few years and we enjoyed our meal, friendly service and quick timing even though the did have a walkin party of 21 people!

Food and service were both excellent!! The servings are big... especially the fried ice cream... but very very nice meal... thank you!!!

We were welcomed at the door by happy and helpful staff. We were given time to read the menu before ordering. No pressure. Food came out quickly and lots of it. Thete were 15 of us and meals were out at the same time. Great atmosphere. Thanks

Nice steaks and good service. Wine options a bit disappointing.

Great food and service at a good price Friendly staff

It was disappointing we have been there several times and enjoyed it so I booked online to take my husband to celebrate his birthday. Our table had not been reserved then we were directed to a table which hadn't been cleaned so the girl had to clean it our starters were nice I had the seafood duo the squid was nice but the barramundi was so over cooked the crumbs were just short of burnt it was the same with my husband's portehouse schnitzel they both looked like they had been forgotten in the frying consequently both were very dry it was not up to their usual standard

Wasn't happy, took them ages to bring a menu out, then came back in 2 minutes wanting our order, no service at all while waiting for our meal, and the meal wasn't fantastic either.

Definitely will come back and recommend to friends. Wagyu steak is pretty good.

Great food, fast and friendly service. Quiet Thursday evening however it was usually cold weather.

Food was good had an enjoyable night. Would do again

Food was good, wait times were unacceptable, we had to wait 1.5 hours for our meals. Apologies were not forthcoming until I spoke to a member of staff. Some very rowdy customers in there tonight, not really Carmels fault, but we had children in our party.

Best service I have had in ages. They were amazing! Kind, thoughtful and on the ball.

We both had the pulled pork dish, which was delicious (lose the nuts off the salad though). A bit disappointed that there was only 2 very expensive steak dishes, as their title is bar and GRILL?

Expensive rude staff not good quality for price paid .

The food was amazing & we had a lovely time!

Food was good, but it was disappointing that fire was not burning (mid winter). The opportunity to create some warmth and atmosphere was missed. Karyn

Service was pretty poor, drinks almost came out with our mains with less then 20 people dining at the time. Food was ok but not worth going back.

Great food Family friendly Friendly staff Kids loved their meals :)

Amazing food and amazing service AS ALWAYS! Love Carmels. Highly recomend

Food was great, the service was a bit slow though!

My group of 7 people all had a fantastic dining experience! 😃⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A few more vegan options on the food & wine menu would make returning more appealing.

It was very cold, the freezing breeze was coming through the gap of the door, otherwiseatmosphere nice. Foodwise very expensive for average meal. Steak was fatty and undercookered, hot chips $3 for very tiny little bowl, salad ok, desserts amazing though. Last time we were there it was delicious thats why I brought friends back, a bit disappointed this time sorry

Great attentive service, meals timely and visually appealing. All 18 meals came out at the same time. Nice atmosphere overall a good experience. Well done Carmels!

Terrific staff and service. Food left much to be desired. Great setting.

Excellent table service. Best steak that I have had in a long time.

Delicious food and fast, friendly service. Would go back for sure.

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!
