Did not expect such great quality and innovation. The oxtail lasagna was one of the most amazing dishes I've tried ever. Our server Tino was also attentive, kind and surprised us with a treat when he found out it was our anniversary. What a wonderful experience.

Everything and everyone, including the management, was so great! They treated us like family, and we had to come back again for the second time during our honeymoon stay.

Underwhelming experience. The food was alright. The fingerling potatoes were quite salty. The modest portion of sweet potato gnocchi was good. The duck breast was... ok. The Texas mule was really strong and not very flavorful.

The service was the weakest point. It was friendly, but everything took so long. The first thing we asked for was tap water and it ended up coming after the appetizers. Getting a refill also took a while. Taking our order, bringing out the drinks menu they didn't get us when sitting down, taking the check, you name it. They were quite kind however; they rolled a heater to our table and they split the duck portion we were sharing.

The ambiance is by far the best thing the restaurant has going for it. We sat outside next to a pool with a water fountain of sorts surrounded by greenery.

We spent $113.07 after tax, after the 3.5% eco-friendly fee (beware), before tip. I wouldn't go back.

We came here after the place we originally planned to visit cancelled our reservation. Man were we happy! This place blew us away with the food, service and experience. It was my wife’s birthday and they went all out in making this a memorable experience. Everything from the appetizer, main dishes, wine list and desert were incredible. The portions are large, so come hungry, but be prepared to leave with a to-go bag. Do not miss the hamachi credo, 20 layer lasagna, Kobe beef short ribs and bananas foster ;-)

The service was average at best. Our waiter didn't really care about our experience and was not attentive. Our food was ok, not great, not bad. I would not go back. It was much too expensive for average good and poor service.

An Elegant Masterclass in Carmel Dining
Anton & Michel provided the perfect sophisticated finish to an unforgettable day following our round at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Hosting a party of six can sometimes be a challenge for finer establishments, but the service here was flawless—attentive, professional, and timed perfectly. We started the evening with a round of excellent cocktails and dived into six different appetizers; each was a standout, setting a very high bar for the rest of the meal. For our main course, we ordered six different entrées, and the kitchen didn't miss a beat. Every dish was prepared to perfection, showcasing the kind of consistent quality that has made this place a Carmel institution.

The atmosphere is where Anton & Michel truly shines, offering a quiet, formal elegance that feels increasingly rare. The dining room is beautifully appointed with stone pillars and warm lighting, creating an intimate environment that encourages great conversation. While it is certainly a more hushed and formal setting, it remains welcoming; well-behaved children would be perfectly fine here, though the vibe is definitely geared toward those looking for a serene, upscale dining experience. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or a successful day on the links with incredible food and a refined touch, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and service was perfect 👌. Food was exceptional, the expresso martini was probably one of the best ive had, definitely recommend a try. We sat out on the patio, the waterfalls was relaxing and atmosphere was clean and inviting.
