Everyone was amazing! My friend and I hadn’t seen each other in 35 years, so we had a lot to chat about during lunch. The service was amazing, and they were very accommodating, which was so appreciated! So classy in every way!

Don't miss this place if you are visiting Carmel. There are so many good restaurants in this town and this is one of the better ones. Fun wine list, too. Classic dishes like French Onion soup and Creme Brulee were superb and the rack of lamb was amazing, one of the best I have had. The swordfish special was light and perfectly grilled. We can't wait to go back.

The price of the food is a bit high but the choices and taste is excellent. Our entrees were short ribs, pork chop, and seafood fricassee. All very delicious. Our serve Jennifer was wonderful. No rushing of patrons when you come in. I believe we were there for 2 hours.

We had a fantastic meal here and really enjoyed the patio. Servers were great even though we did not eat or drink as much as most customers likely do (bike ride planned for after lunch). They were not pushy at all and the food and drinks were excellent. Servers were very knowledgeable about the ingredients and accommodating with food allergies.

Our visit to Carmel brought us back to Anton & Michel, a favorite restaurant from 30 years ago. We were delighted with the addition of a beautiful new room that looked out onto the attractive back courtyard. The food was still excellent, the service superb, the wine list extensive. Don’t miss the Bananas Foster!

The ambiance is fine and the noise level is completely manageable. My entree was perfectly cooked, but I cannot wrap my head around the notion of a sauce that tastes like a slightly elevated bbq sauce being drizzled over what was, arguably, a perfectly cooked hanger steak. Also, when one orders steak and fries in a euro-styoe restaurant, one generally expects thin crisp fries, not the fast food-looking/tasting French fries I was served. Then there was my girlfriend's sand dabs. T Which were awful. The breading was heavily applied and tasted terrible. The fish was overcooked to the point of being like fish jerky. We might have tried to send the fish - at least - back, except that our waitress came across as spacy and confused and we didn't feel like introducing another wild card into an already disappointing experience.

Risotto was delicious. Duck was tough and difficult to chew Trout was spoiled by Chimichurii sauce served on top of fish. The sauce overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the trout. The vegetables were tasteless Disappointing entree all around

Fuimos a celebrar haber finalizado el maratón de Big Sur, la comida fue espectacular, pedimos un atún de entrante, y después un pato y una carne y delicioso, los postres espectaculares ( pedimos el De chocolate y el de limón) La atención, el lugar y todo excelente El único detalle fue que el mesero una vez que pedimos los postres nos trajo la cuenta sin haberla pedido… Pedimos café y te y otra vez nos trajo la cuenta. Fue incómodo por que todo el tiempo nos decía que no había prisa pero parecía que nos corria trayendo la cuenta. Eso no debería de pasar en restaurantes de esta categoría

We had a wonderful evening on my wife’s 75th Birthday. From the service to the ambiance to the food, the evening could not have been better. We were never rushed and enjoyed the food from our Pate’ starter to the complimentary desert, as well as the excellent Bernardus Chardonnay. Thank you for making my wife’s Birthday special.

We ordered the filet Minon and got the strip steak instead. We didn’t want to make any problems during my husband birthday party - but maybe should write down orders if can’t remember what customers order🤷‍♀️ The ambiance was great and the service was great except this part - we saved up to go out and he was really looking forward to his favorite meal, oh well maybe next time they will get it right I hope!

If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in Carmel By The Sea, this is it! From the initial greeting & escort to our table to our last bite, my husband & I enjoyed absolutely everything that this fine establishment had to offer. Our attentive waitperson, David, bent over backwards to keep us happy & satiated. We plan to return to this charming village just to come back to this restaurant!
