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.

Decided to dine here for dinner while in Buckhead Village. The service was amazing and the ambience felt very warm and inviting. We enjoyed all of our starters, but the grilled oysters and caviar fries were my favorite! The swordfish and porterhouse steak were delicious. If you love lychee martinis, you have to try it here.

First time trying it out. They have such good review. In my opinion the food lacked good flavor. I believe the only thing I genuinely enjoyed was the oysters and the blackened okra.
