About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Our dining experience at Carmel was phenomenal! From being greeted at the door, to the knowledge and insight of the bartender, to the patience, memory, and kindness from our waiter, to the delicious flavors of each dish that came out and the warm ambiance, Carmel is a 10 out of 10. We tried at least eight menu items and nothing disappointed! I plan to return again and again! I’ve already planned my next visit! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

    I had not been since they had opened about 2 years ago and I enjoyed the menu more than ever! We had the burrata salad, the scallops, filet, carrots and roasted potatoes. All were delicious! And the cocktails were on point as well. Will be coming back again soon!

    Carmel is an understated very comfortable restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated on a banquette with a curved back. There were not many guests in the dining room yet we could hear the entire conversation 20 feet away. In our corner the music was loud and annoying. I had mussels which were delicious. Service was excellent.

    Everything was very nice. Pleasant host, good and attentive service, thoughtful menu, the food was very good too. I think we were overcharged inadvertently though - not a big deal but I left thinking the check might’ve been incorrect. No big deal - great night!
