I've received several recommendations to stop in to La Bicyclette, so when a Friday night reservation for 4 opened, I knew I had to snag it! La Bicyclette markets itself as a French and European inspired bistro. It is extremely popular, so make a reservation if you want to eat before 9pm! The interior is charming and homey. The dress code is casual, but you can dress up if you'd like! By the time we came in for our reservation, we were ready to dig in! Our order included the following: * Gnocchis à la Parisienne $21**: I heard rumors about this miraculous gnocchi and it did not disappoint! The sauce was rich and cheesy, yet the gnocchi was bouncy and not soggy! I could eat this all by myself! * Tuscan Panzella Salad $20**: The freshest heirloom tomatoes were used in this salad. The croutons were tasty and super crunchy, balancing out the sweetness of the vinaigrette and strawberries. The portion is generous too! * Poisson Mediterranean $46: Cod was the catch of the day! The sauce was very flavorful, a bit much for me. The fish was perfectly cooked! * Spaghetti Amalfitana $48: This comes with a lobster tail -- wow! The sauce was also rich. The portion was huge, definitely shareable. The shrimp tasted like it was fresh out of the ocean! Not for me, but may be for some! * Steak au Poivre $58: The steak was perfectly cooked! Sliced easily and fell apart in your mouth. The peppercorn cognac sauce was delicious! * Summer Truffle Pizza $35**: I will be thinking about this pizza for the rest of my life. Crispy, not overwhelmingly oily, using real truffle on top. I would go back for this alone!!! Dessert: * Pot de Mousse au Chocolat (for two) $17: Luscious chocolate mousse, not overly sweet. Easy to eat and perfect for you and a date! * Affogato $14: I didn't try anything but the Madeline, which was fine! ** is a must-order! The service was spectacular. We were checked on many times during the dinner. The staff was attentive and thoughtful with their recommendations. I will yearn for La Bicyclette until the next time I return! 50000 stars out of 5.

We made our reservations a week in advance and we're glad we did because it was very busy. Thankfully, we did not have to park because our Airbnb was in walking distance. Parking is a challenge in Carmel and there is no private lot for this quaint restaurant. Service was friendly and mostly professional. Had a few hiccups with entrée deliveries, but still enjoyed the food. In this case, I feel like the establishment wanted to pretend nothing happened but when you wait 10 minutes for the last entree to be served while everyone else is eating it's hard to ignore so I think apology would've gone a long way but we didn't let it ruin our experience. For cocktails, we got Prosecco and a cider with complimentary cheese which paired really nicely. For appetizers we absolutely loved theStone fruit salad, mussels and the Gnocchi à la Parisienne. The gnocchi certainly lived up to its hype. Never had gnocchi this good. For entrées we got the Spaghetti all's vignole The Summer truffle pizza and the Steak au poivre special with pomme frites and the best aioli I've ever had. I usually avoid any type of sauce with fries, but I couldn't stop using this one for my French fries lol. Everything was delicious. Of course we couldn't pass up Profiteroles & Affogato for dessert and they were gone within a few minutes of hitting the table sadly. But they were delicious going down. Will definitely come back again if we ever make it back to Carmel.

We were in Redwood City, and the local Oktoberfest celebration looked like a huge scam with its ticketing system and required payment to enter. Plus, we don't even drink that much. So instead, we looked for a German restaurant/beer garden and were delighted to find Gourmet Haus Staudt. It was a Sunday afternoon and not too crowded, since the Oktoberfest was happening a few blocks away. I got a stout they had on draft, and my boyfriend and I shared a pretzel and some sausages. Everything was perfect. The beer was great, poured well and in an appropriate glass. The pretzel was perfectly warm and soft, and we liked the beer cheese sauce. They had a range of self-serve mustards that I really appreciated. The sausages were also really good. Service was fast and friendly. We'll definitely go back when the craving hits!

To wash down all this beautiful grub, they've got the taps heavy with all the right German beers--including the legendary Marzen and Festbier--poured exactly the way to be expected, in a .5L or the big boy 1L!

We ordered the lamb khinkali dumplings, chanakhi (lamb, eggplant stew), and Georgian salad for two. The Georgian salad had a pleasant nuttiness to it that brought out the flavor of the tomatoes and cucumbers. The chanakhi was well balanced with a simple spice profile, but the lamb was a bit tough. The khinkali dumplings were juicy and flavorful. Our qualm was that the portions were lighter than expected for the price (note that there is apparently no expectation of tipping at this restaurant). At roughly $80 for three dishes for two people, we assumed we'd ordered enough to leave full, but left still fairly hungry. The food and service were genuinely good, but we would need to order a couple of extra dishes next time to account for the smaller portions and budget accordingly. The presentation and prices suggested a fine-dining ambition; ended up as more of a modest, well-plated home-style meal.

They offer reservations, but I don't think they're necessary unless you're going with a larger party. We made a reservation for Saturday around 6 PM, but the restaurant was empty when we arrived. The space is small but very cozy. I imagine once it's darker outside that the warm, intimate atmosphere would make it a great date spot. We got the goulash and sausages. The goulash is more stew-like than soup-like. It was tasty and straightforward, though I was expecting a bit more depth from the paprika. The sausages were 10/10. We tried the Hungarian Sweet and German Spice, and I highly recommend the latter if you're looking for one that packs a punch. The plate comes with a few gherkins, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes with gravy, which made for a well-rounded mix of flavors and textures.
