Owned and operated by two sisters, Carmel's boasts multi-pronged appeal, offering weekly live music, terrific outdoor seating, and fantastic cuisine that capitalizes on local ingredients and a judicious hand in the kitchen. Take, for instance, grilled lamb loin with a dijon demi-glace, or look to pan-seared sea scallops with mushroom ravioli to sate your hunger pangs. Other possibilities include an 10-oz. hand cut strip steak with grilled romaine and grape tomatoes, herb-marinated pork tenderloin or hoisin-glazed St. Louis ribs.
