NORAS CARMEL - (Near Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA)

5 /5 Troy Kelly: Why are there only 5 stars on here?! This place was amazing! The staff were all super friendly, the owner provided complimentary wines while we waited and then pulled out a table to accommodate us even faster. The bread was perfectly crunch on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The clam chowder was perfect. The San Francisco Cioppino was so delish, the bread dipped in it was magnifico! Save room for dessert though because the waffle creme brûlée is the perfect mixture of blam, pow, kabang flavor! New favorite spot in Carmel!

5 /5 Alexander Winfield: I wish I could give this six stars. We had an absolute wonderful time here. The chicken pot pie was huge and tasted so good. The meatloaf was very tasty. Very juicy, which is good because often times meatloaf can kind of dry out. The atmosphere was awesome. This place is new and you can tell that the owner put a ton of work into it to make it feel very homey, speaking of the owner. He came by every table and greeted every party And made sure that everyone was having a wonderful time. The prices were very reasonable and the portion sizes were very good especially for Carmel. The service and staff were all super kind. Honestly, I can’t think of anything wrong with this restaurant. Highly highly highly recommend it.

5 /5 Nicholas Byrd: My wife and I had dinner at Nora’s in Carmel and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, especially for the price point. The standout was the Meatballs. It was the best meatballs I’ve ever tasted and one of the best single dishes I’ve had anywhere. I licked that bowl clean The service was excellent as well. Attentive without being intrusive, warm, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is welcoming with the owners coming by to chit chat. Nora’s is a place we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re in Carmel, this is a must-try. God bless, Grandma Nora

4 /5 Vanessa: Stopped by here for lunch on a beautiful Sunday in Carmel. We got lucky and got a table for 2 right outside the patio, as the restaurant was full. Reservations are definitely recommended, especially for a bigger group. Service was phenomenal. The staff, servers, and host all made you feel like you were a regular. I loved the ambiance of the outdoor and indoor. With the water in the background, birds chirping, sun lighting through, it felt like the perfect sunday. We ordered the fig flat bread, clam chowder and artichoke, and crab dip. The fig flat bread was really good, with the bread having a nice crunch and chewiness to it. But it was too thick for a flat bread for my preference. And the honey was slathered too generously in some pieces. The clam chowder was quite good. Wouldve doubled up on that. But the crab and artichoke dip was alright. And it was really expensive for what it is. Total, we paid almost $100 with taxes and tips for 3 dishes and 1 sparkling water.
