   One of the best meals I've ever had. Service, wine paring, presentation, flavors, ingenuity. Definitely Michelin star deserved.

   My husband and I had one of the best meals ever. Each presentation were superb and imaginative. The most incredible part was the evening was that the area had no electricity and everything had to be prepared in the dark. Well done and thumbs up to all who accomplished this. We had a delightful evening

   Intimate and immaculate presentation. Knowledgeable and helpful Sommelier. They pulled a exciting and adventurous meal out of a hat on a night when all power had been cut from the restaurant. Well done!

   We had an amazing dining experience despite the power outage. Chef kept sending out delicious courses that were subtle and beautifully presented. All was done with only the use of a gas range, headlamp and imagination. We will treasure this one-of-a-kind evening, and will return when able!!

    A bucket list restaurant for us. Very accommodating. 8 course dinner worthy of its Michelin star. We went with Som’s wine choices and skipped the pairing which went very well! Presentation was wonderful with a nice range of seafood, salads and meat choices. Dessert was special too! We were offered Waygu beef slices that looked as expected..wonderful, however we found it to be a bit over salted. Other than that the evening was outstanding and we would recommend Aubergine!

    The most amazing and special dinner! Eight course tasting menu and wine pairings. The most inventive and delicious preparations of classic ingredients like ribeye steak, lamb, abalone, tuna, and various vegetable. Service is 5!star. Food is Michelin Star. An expensive evening but well worth it for a special occasion.

    The whole experience was enthralling. From the moment we walked in, we were taken care of, and made to feel as well. All the action was on us. Each course was exquisite and built on the last make a overall dining experience that was second to none. Do you want her in for unusual and exposed us to wines we would never otherwise have known. It was in a work exquisite.

    The food and service were spectacular. I could not have asked for a better meal and the wines paired with each course were perfect. The only disappointment was that we were not seated in the main dining room. We were seated in a bar area where people also would walk by to check in to the hotel. It is a lovely hotel and we were treated with every bit as much courtesy and care as I’m sure those in the main room were, but it was not the experience I had expected when booking this reservation. It would have been great to know in the reservation booking or the confirmation call that we would not be seated in the main room.

    Was pleasantly surprised to be seated in the wine cellar. We were treated like we were the only guests. Every course was presented by the people that created it. Presentation was outstanding. The flavors were amazing. The dishes and cutlery were one of a kind. Had an amazing experience. Very pricey but worth it.

    We experienced their tasting menu which was extraordinarily varied and excellent. The preparation, presentation and coordination were all that one might hope for with a menu such as this. The wine parings were perfectly matched and the lead sommelier, John Haffey, is very well informed about each wine. Various staff members from the kitchen also made appearances at the table with their individually prepared courses with descriptors and that was a delight too. All praise to Justin Cogley and his team they are a truly an outstanding group of people.

    After having disaster experiences with prix fixe menus and Michelin star establishments we have been quite turned off to this type of dining. We chose to step out of our comfort zone and do something special for Christmas Eve. We booked Aubergine without an idea of what was on the menu. This meal was by far the most special and amazing meal we have had in the world! The flavors, presentation, service, etc…surpassed and exceeded our expectations. We are looking forward to returning to Aubergine for our next special night out.

    My 3rd time dining at Aubergine.. my friend’s first time.. A definite splurge but when you wrap your head around being treated like you are the only diners..that is nothing but professional, meticulous trained employees!!.. All the servers and captains are seemless like one entity and the end result is perfection!! I have been in the hospitality industry for over 40 years and when I can be impressed ON ALL LEVELS.. that really says something.. They don’t miss a beat and Aubergine totally deserved that Michelin star!!..👍👍

    This is simply the best restaurant in the Carmel/Monterey area and one of the best in the entire Bay Area. The food is creative and original besides being delicious. It’s an expensive tasting menu but worth the money. If you are looking to spurge this is the place

    Lovely intimate setting, the other diners were entertaining, the food was divine. We frequently go to special restaurants with tasting menus and wine pairings to go on adventures especially while on vacation and Aubergine did not disappoint. Come with an open mind, expectation of creativity and beauty, and leave with a full belly and smile.

    Superb culinary experience. Service was unparalleled and purely professional. Maybe the best meal i’ve had in memory. My only knock is that the background music didn’t really fit the room/mood. A nice piano or instrumental would have been nice. They played contemporary pop which was distracting.
