CMLReview
Aubergine is a Carmel classic for a reason, and there’s no better place in town if you’re looking to impress. Their ten-course tasting menu constantly changes, but you can expect seafood-focused dishes like oysters with a yuzu emulsion and lobster in dashi broth. The plating is almost too beautiful to disturb, but you won’t be able to resist digging in. A meal here doesn’t come cheap: it’s $265 per person, plus more if you add a wine pairing. However, since you're likely in town for a romantic getaway, this is the perfect place to splurge with someone special.
