Cafe Patachou Hazel Dell - Carmel

The food is absolutely excellent taste very wonderful. The atmosphere the music the building is wonderful. However, my particular server wasn?t that pleasant? I also did not like that they wanted us to get up and get our own coffee when they?realready serving? That was very weird? Especially when we?re already paying you know with a tip to do those type of services? Butagain everything else was pretty decent I would hope that they change that get it yourself coffee situation? Because that?sexactly what she told us self-serving and then she just left? Also she just put up the bill and didn?t even ask how everythingwas?

As you would expect, one of Martha Hoover's great Patachou/Petite Chou establishments. Great food, good prices. The tomato artichoke soup is to die for! Definitely a must try. The outside patio is large and very accommodating for large groups. Ifyou've never been to one of her restaurants, you're missing out. James Beard award winning establishment, totally deserving ofsuch an honor.

Amazing food and service! Shaun has been the manager for over 20 years, which is a true testament to the owner for keeping such qualified employees. The business model is simple: great employees and great food. God bless.

The food at this restaurant was excellent, but we experienced slightly subpar service for the first time. Despite being seated promptly on a Saturday morning, a server mistakenly brought us another table's food after only 5 minutes of being seated. After this mishap, we had to ask for our server by flagging down another server who had been in a group conversation. This experience does not dissuade us from returning, but we were disappointed by the service as our previous visits had been without any issues.

The quality of Patachou has declined, which is disappointing because it used to be a great spot for breakfast brunch. It is now only average, but still charging the same prices. The Cuban breakfast lacked presentation, with the ham being dry. It seems they are serving minimal portions in order to maximize profit. It was concerning that there was no wait for a table at 11:15 on a Sunday. The waitress was friendly, which was the only positive aspect of our experience. We do not plan on coming back.
