Best Live Music Restaurants in Carmel

Fabulous service Fabulous wine Fabulous food Very very nice

Great food. The live music was fun, and people were encouraged to get up and dance. We appreciated the small complimentary serving of baklava for dessert.

Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.

Wonderful evening….so nice to enjoy it all, the food was excellent, the scallops were light delicate and tasty, just wish we had more than 4. We paired with the carbonara, which was very nice. They added mushrooms which actually was a nice not strong addition. The ambience was lovely, relaxing and the noise levels were low, we could actually have a quiet conversation. Strolling guitar was a nice touch too

The Catch is a culinary gem! We started with the oyster shooters, which were fresh and perfectly chilled—a delightful start to the meal. The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky and flavorful, while the ravioli was a rich, creamy indulgence that melted in the mouth. The wine selection complemented each dish wonderfully, enhancing the overall dining experience. The atmosphere and service were equally brilliant. Highly recommend for a memorable evening out! We went there on Thanksgiving and it was nice to skip the turkey for fresh fish for a change.
