Anton & Michel Restaurant - Carmel-By-The-Sea (CA)

5 /5 Jane Ross: Went here for a holiday meal with my family and it was fabulous! The French onion soup was very flavorful and well balanced, and the whole branzino was light and well prepared. The overall ambiance is swanky and festive. If you go, be sure to get the bananas foster or cherries jubilee, which they prepare tableside!

5 /5 Debbie Gonzalez: This restaurant is a must stop!! Delicious food, excellent service and amazing atmosphere all combine to make it a wonderful experience. The curry crab bisque soup made me want to buy it in pitchers. The scallop and pea risotto was fantastic. When the air got misty, they quickly accommodated us with turning on the heat lamps and bringing me a blanket. We did not have reservations, but we went in a Monday night. I imagine they are probably very busy and recommend booking the reservations.

5 /5 Maria Matyska-Pesek: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **A Dining Experience to Remember!** We recently had the pleasure of dining at Anton & Michel and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we was captivated by the beautiful decor and cozy atmosphere that sets the perfect mood for an elegant evening. For the past 29 years, we have celebrated our anniversary at this wonderful restaurant, and we have never been disappointed. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the spare ribs dinner—they were absolutely divine, melting in your mouth with every bite. The pork chops, served with the bone, were equally impressive—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. To top off the evening, we indulged in the flambé dessert. While it used to be prepared tableside, having it flambéed in the center of the room added an exciting touch. It was not only impressive to watch but also utterly delicious! Overall, Anton & Michel continues to exceed our expectations year after year. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

5 /5 Alicia Spiegel: While spending time solo in Carmel, some locals recommended this places for dinner. It did not disappoint. I sat outside in the gorgeous patio. It was quiet, beautiful and peaceful with the sound of its picturesque fountains. I started with the French Onion Soup, and the Duck as my entree. They were both delicious! Service was on point as well.
