Our Food
Our menu showcases high-quality seafood skillfully paired with fresh, local ingredients. Whether it's sophisticated crudos, wood fire oysters, grilled fish, whole lobster and dry aged steaks, or vibrant cocktails, we would love the opportunity to design a menu that cater for your specific needs. Our menus can be served a la Carte or family style, depending on your preferences and price point.
Our Space
Carmel is a love letter to the coast, embodying the relaxed elegance of the oceanside. From its warm, inviting interior to a menu that celebrates seasonal ingredients and craft cocktails, every element reflects our passion for the coastal side experience. Designed in collaboration with Smith Hanse Studio, the space features neutral tones and materials that strike a balance between sophistication and vibrancy. Carmel’s bar area is ideal for hosting happy hour gatherings for up to 45 guests, while the adaptable dining room can comfortably seat up to 100 guests for a sit-down dinner.
Please note that groups over 12 guests are required to select from one of our menus below. Any group over 20 guests will be considered a partial buyout of the restaurant. Partial and full buyouts of Carmel Restaurant will require a food and beverage minimum based on the time of year and day of the week. Please contact our event manager for more details.
