About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
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.

    Carmel is always worth the visit. One of the easiest-on-the-eyes and uniquely designed restaurants you'll find. The folks are always first-rate. And the food is great.

    Our waiter was awesome. Service was great. The food was okay. We got the filet, red fish, caviar fries, and crispy potatoes. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t like out of this world. Overall I give this place a 3.5/5. I liked the vibes and the service but I feel like there’s probably better spots in the city. Also very odd the restaurant was almost totally empty when we came in.

    Omg! This was my 2nd time dining within a month! Because the food is that goodt goodt! I tried the roasted chicken this time - the chicken was impeccably moist and the roasted sunchokes were to drool for. My friend had the Strip steak and potatoes which was excellent also- The drinks were "drinkin" and were excellent pours- I had to add the Blackened Okra to my option this time also- it was amazinginly delicious! The ambiance was perfect on the small yet quaint patio- The vibes are sexy- relaxed - tranquil yet excited all at the same time! Service was unmatched during both visits- David and the entire team were extremely attentive! Looking forward to my 3rd visit - hopefully within this same month - lol- but fr
