Divine Dinner with Friends at Anton & Michel

Treat yourself to an unforgettable dinner for 10 in the Anton & Michel in Carmel, in what Zagat raves is a "lovely, old-world setting."  Tony Salameh, who has nurtured the icon of romantic fine dining on the Monterey Peninsula for three decades, says “this restaurant is like my child.” He describes the makeover, completed in February 2013, as a breath of fresh new life for the establishment. The decor and menu changes, even so, retain some of the classic table-side service specialties (including flambé desserts) and elegance that has been part of Anton & Michel's reputation. An award-winning wine list featuring over 500 selections complements the sophisticated California cuisine.
