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.

    India, our server, was exceptional. Anyone who brought us food or a drink was friendly and if we asked a question or placed an additional order they were more too happy to assist. The food was wonderful. Everything we ate was exceptional. The restaurant is pretty. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6:45 with few tables occupied. But by the time we left at 8:30 it was full.

    I had the truffle lasagna. It was absolutely horrible. Our server was great, we tipped her well. The oysters were dime sized and expensive, but tasty. The octopus was good, but hardly any was served. The best thing was the okra. We won’t return, because dinner was $250, valet was $20, and tip was $60. We eat out a LOT, and Atlanta restaurants need to be competitive. That being said, our server was excellent.

    We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.
