We have dined at Anton & Michel several times while in Carmel. We had heard they had a new owner and we decided to try it anyway. The food and service were as excellent as it had ever been. It will always be one of our go to restaurants when we visit Carmel.

This was our first time dining at Anton and Michel. I had the short ribs and my husband the chicken. I also tried the lobster bisque which was delicious! We appreciated that our plates came out HOT. The food was toasty and plentiful. They don’t skimp on portions. It was my birthday and I got a rich and yummy chocolate dessert, no charge. The wines by the glass choices are minimal, but, they do a nice size pour. It’s quiet, you can have a conversation, what a concept! We would go back!

This restaurant has become our favorite must visit destination when we visit Carmel. All aspects of the venue are at a high level of quality, from the greeting to the farewell. Personnel are professional and thoughtful, from the host to wait staff and support staff. The food is always well prepared, proper temperature, and accompanied by fresh sides. If you visit Carmel you should give yourself a treat and try them for dinner. Wonderful setting just adds to the experience.

We had a great experience. We brought my sister out who is very ill and was in a wheelchairs. The owner came right up to us to help her enter the restaurant. So very sweet. The ambience was so nice inside. The food and our waiter were excellent. This was our second time here and we well definitely be back. Thank you to the owner again who also helped us out of the restaurant and made sure my sister was taken care. they all went way and beyond. Thank you again. ☺️

We had a lovely dinner here. The ambiance was beautiful. We sat outside by the fountain. While the food was delicious, what really made the night special was the spectacular service. Our server, Sarah, was extremely kind, professional, fun and attentive. All of the other people helping us were also friendly and professional. This is by far the best restaurant we’ve been to in Carmel. We will be back.

We've been here many times in the past. It has lost its specialness with the changes in the menu and the ridiculously higher prices. Splitting a salad is an additional 3.00 over the 18.00 price of the salad. The waitress did not bring us a drinks by the glass menu and suggested a Moet split for my husband.....didn't tell us it was 23.00. Then we saw the drinks by the glass menu and she never mentioned there was a Chandon split for 12.00. The biggest insult is the tiny lettering at the bottom of the menu "3.5% added to credit card payments". Really????? For as long as I've been alive, restaurants absorbed this as a cost of doing business. Now they are passing it along to customers??? Who brings 200.00 cash to a restaurant to pay for dinner? I just think it's shameful and we won't be back. And we were customers for over 30 years!!

The owner, Loi was the ultimate host. From a phone call confirming my reservation to his incredible wait staff and a table-side conversation with him before we left made it was one of best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Our server, Chris was upbeat, personable, polished and attentive. We dined on the Oysters Rockefeller, beet salad, crab cakes and filet mignon. All of which were exceptional. As a birthday surprise Chris brought me a salted caramel crème brûlée with a candle—delicious and generous. We sat outside with a running fountain behind us while listening to gentle music playing in the background—what a night and a beautiful birthday kickoff. ❤️🙏🏽 ca

The level of service from the moment you enter the restaurant is outstanding. The oysters Rockefeller and risotto appetizers and the beet salad were excellent. We ordered the Talbot Sleepy Hollow (a local favorite) and Rombauer Chardonnays with our dinner . Both excellent. I highly recommend the duck as an entree as well. The crème brûlée was also quite good for dessert. Overall a great experience.
