                                                        We enjoyed our evening. Staff and ambiance were lovely. The beet salad and french onion soup were excellent as was the crepe suzette we had for desert. The korean short rib was over cooked and over sauced. The filet steak was ordered medium but was too rare and lacked seasoning. It was cut in half when served which is odd.

                                                        We have been coming to Carmel, and eating at Anton & Michel for over 20 years. We have always enjoyed it, and our dinner this time was no different. This is a wonderful, and very special, restaurant. The food is excellent, and the service is always great.

                                                        We really enjoyed our dinner last night! The service was wonderful and welcoming:-) We highly recommend A&M for special occasions as they do a beautiful job at Bananas Foster and Cherries Jubilee! Our entrees were yummy.
