Die besten authentischen Restaurants in Design District

Service is impeccable! We've been to the restaurant several times and love it. This time we found the main dishes - the chicken and the pork - not as well prepared as the fish we've had before. But the appetizers - surf and turf and brisket, the refried lentils and okra with shishitos, ALL of the handmade masas, the Mexican chocolate ganache, and the Jamaica margaritas were all extraordinary! We look forward to our next venture in.

Such a fun experience with my new grand baby and family. Food and service was perfect. I had not been there for dinner in a long time and have forgotten how delicious the food is there. Short ribs and salmon were amazing. My family members had the chicken and said it was the best they had ever had. Thanks mercat for the perfect ending to our Christmas holiday.

Excellent food and service! Third visit and always consistent. Rafa is the best.

Great service and delicious food as always. The spicy salami with honey pizza is the best!

My only reason for give four stars on the overall category is due to the confusion of booking/making a reservation for this restaurant. We was not aware this is actually TWO different restaurants with "Vino" being on one side, while "Carbone" is on the other side. When I made my reservation - I thought I was reserving for the "Carbone" side (not realizing this was a different restaurant, of course). We had already looked at the menu online and through OpenTable which is the menu for "Carbone". Once our server came out and handed us the menu, we was confused as we did not see anything mentioned online that she was telling us. When we asked her, that is when she explained the difference in the two different restaurants, which we was not aware of. She then informed us we have to get a "reservation" card at the front host stand to email and make a reservation for the "Carbone" side of the restaurant. Said all of that to say - 1) this should be better explained when making a reservation and 2) the restaurant should have both menus easily and most definitely understandable that there are two different menus due to there being two different restaurants right next to one another. The service and food was great - so this does not fall on them - this falls on the owners/management of this establishment.
