                                                We came to A & M years ago and thought we’d come back. Poor service. Waited 20 min for some sparkling water. 40 min for an appetizer. Then she served the main while we’re still eating the appetizer. Mediocre food. Fine dining restaurants know how to time courses. Dessert was good. We will not be back. So many other good food options in Carmel.

                                                Had a fabulous time with wife and daughter on Father's Day. The food was fabulous on their revised menu. Don't miss any of their starters -- thay are large and well worth it. I had the scallops (5) that there cooked perfectly with a butter sauce and on shells. My wife had the lamb chops WOW! Yes, they are a bit pricey, but quite large, US lamb, and sooo tender. We had leftovers for a second meal at home the next night. Service is great (ask for Marco), and do try for at least one desert.

                                                We were celebrating our 53rd anniversary and chose to eat here as it has been uniformly excellent in the past. They continued to impress with every detail being superlative. In comparison, we ate at a nearby Michelin starred restaurant the night before for nearly three times the cost. That meal consisting of several small courses was okay/interesting but with not a single dish worth making an entire entree out of. I also did a $95 wine pairing which consisted entirely of never heard of wineries with mostly obscure varietals that were consistently blah. In comparison, I had a glass of Pinot Noir from Domaine Drouhin, for 1/4 the cost of the pairing (but the same total volume), at Anton & Michel that was superb. If you want a superb meal and drinks, you will never go wrong with the elegant Anton & Michel. PS - In case you’re wondering, I had the duck breast and my wife a salmon special. We shared the best crab cake we have ever had as an appetizer.
