Carmel is a love letter to the coast—the ocean breeze, the freedom, the elements that make you feel so good when you’re next to the water. We serve Contemporary Seafood and embrace a gastronomic narrative centered around the celebration of premium seafood and seasonal produce. From the cozy yet elegant interior to the seasonal menu and craft cocktails, every detail reflects our passion for the oceanside experience.

Our menu showcases high-quality, sustainable seafood skillfully paired with fresh, local ingredients. Whether it's sophisticated crudos, wood-fired oysters, fish, lobster, dry-aged steak, or vibrant cocktails, we would love to take you on a journey to your favorite waterfront destination. Let the ocean breeze carry you away...

Weekday Lunch is served at Carmel’s Bar. We do not accept reservations for lunch, though walk-ins are always welcome at any time of day. Gratuity is applied to parties of 6+. Parties of 9+, please submit an inquiry at CarmelATL.com>Reservations.

    Food was pretty good. Same with the cocktail, even though there was one we didn't like, no problem switching it to something else. Great place overall.

    The food was really good especially the truffle fries with caviar. My lobster was a little overcooked and the broccolini was good. Our server Michelle was amazing very knowledgeable and provided great service.

    Beautiful restaurant with a nice brunch menu that has a wide range of options and flavor. Cocktails were mixed very well and nice ratio. French toast is delicious... Sunburst spritz was also very tasty. Our server, Mathias, was prompt, knowledgeable and checked in with us at appropriate intervals. We were a loud bunch with lots of questions, he was very kind and patient throughout.

    Great food and great service. I want to love this place. But the layout is such that there are 2 rows of tables that are on top of each other. If you are a 2 person reservation, you will be spending your night on a multi couple date. You will hear every single thing said on either side of you and when the server comes to talk to their table, their backside will be in your face. Carmel could fix this by pulling out 1 table on both rows and giving the diners space. They won’t because money is more important than the dining experience. If you are looking for a special night, I cannot recommend because of the way they have decided to place the tables. Shame on management. Too bad, because the food & cocktails are wonderful.

    Our server Ebony was amazing with welcoming and explaining to us the menu. She was very even paced with appetizers and drinks. We shared a Caesar salad and mussels. The food was Amazing! The radfish was cooked perfectly along with the braised collards. My wife enjoyed the scallops with potato purée and all cooked to perfection and hot. The atmosphere was perfect for couples with low lighting and music. We enjoyed the experience! Will be back real soon.
