Aubergine the restaurant at L'Auberge Carmel Carmel-by-the-Sea Reviews from The Last Year
Chefs head platter "gifts from the sea" carried the entire
Chefs head platter "gifts from the sea" carried the entire Valentine's Day experience for us. Caviar on eggs two ways and souffléd potatoes was probably the most outstanding dish (out of 6) after that head platter...prime rib is the best you'll get as the final entree of a $1000 experience for two, they'll even try to up-charge you mid meal for wagyu! Overall I don't recommend. You can easily attend a matching 1 star Michelin restaurant for half the price and better ingredients. Sad that you pay so much more for the Valentine's Day experience and the best meat they provide is prime rib!
Amaizing food and service
We enjoyed a FABULOUS meal prepared by Chef Justin Cogley and his team. The beauty, skill and care in every dish made for a VERY special evening. A million thanks and congratulations to Chef Cogley and his team. As you can see from the attached photos, this was an incredibly special meal. Deserving of MORE Michelin Stars. The service was perfect (thank you Cyrus) and the wines outstanding (thank you Jahn Haffey - Sommelier)

Ah, Aubergine in Carmel - a gem nestled in the cozy
Ah, Aubergine in Carmel - a gem nestled in the cozy confines of a smaller restaurant attached to a charming hotel. Patience was the key to securing a table for my wife's birthday; waitlisted on Tock, but the stars aligned, and we found ourselves enveloped in an evening of culinary splendor. The atmosphere at Aubergine is an intimate dance of colors and creativity, a testament to the culinary artistry that lies within. The courses, each a canvas of flavor, were presented with a finesse that echoed the passion of Chef Justin and the chef de cuisine. It's not just a meal; it's a symphony of tastes, a celebration of culinary ingenuity. The service, a crucial companion to the dining experience, was nothing short of exceptional. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff at Aubergine ensured that every moment was savored. The timing of courses was impeccable - a delicate orchestration that allowed us to relish each dish without feeling rushed. Opting for the Sommelier wine pairing was a stroke of genius. The curated selection complemented the dishes flawlessly, enhancing the overall experience. It was a journey through vineyards, a perfect marriage of flavors that elevated the evening to a delightful crescendo. Aubergine, despite its size, resonates with a culinary prowess that transcends expectations. It's not just a restaurant; it's a destination for those who seek a sensory adventure. The wait for reservations, the anticipation - all fade into insignificance once the first course graces your palate. Aubergine is a culinary voyage worth embarking on, a testament to the gastronomic treasures that await the discerning palate. If you're seeking an evening of gastronomic wonder and a celebration of the finest in culinary arts, Aubergine is an experience that lingers in memory long after the plates are cleared. Five stars for a dining escapade that transcends the ordinary, leaving you with a taste of pure excellence.
AMAZING! Every bite was tasty, every dish was thoughtful
AMAZING! Every bite was tasty, every dish was thoughtful and perfectly composed. The service was impeccable, the ambiance was unmatched. As someone that has eaten at all of the 3 star Michelin restaurants in New York (working on the ones in Cali!), I have to say that this eclipses all of them and stands as one of the best meals I have had!
A ripoff
$1000 worth of snob appeal. Not worthy of a Michelin star - and we have eaten at scores of Michelin restaurants in Europe. Nothing measured up. The decor is simple and dull. The amuse bouche was the highlight of the meal. The service was rushed. The food was bland. Just nothing special at all. Our fellow dinners seemed to be from Asia or Silicon Valley millennials who are feel great because of the size of the bill.
We savored every aspect of the 8-course dinner.
The service was exceptional, creating a relaxed ambiance. This restaurant consistently delights; my husband and I have cherished it since before it earned its Michelin star
One of the top 5 restaurants I've ever eaten at, Aubergine
One of the top 5 restaurants I've ever eaten at, Aubergine combined expertly crafted dishes, excellent service, and a delightful wine pairing into an intimate dining experience for for the best celebrations in your life. The theme of the menu when we visited was "surprise" and we found the menu to be entirely that. The thrice seared A5 miyazaki wagyu took the show for my wife and I, followed closely by the duck breast and confit. Aubergine is delightfully appointed, comfortable, quiet and intimate. If you have a chance to enjoy a meal here odds of disappointment are very low.
Imagine stepping into a hidden gem nestled in the heart of
Imagine stepping into a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Carmel by the Sea. The moment you enter, the ambiance greets you like an old friend, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience, a voyage through the captivating worlds of land and sea. As you walk in, you're greeted by a visual feast - seashells and succulents artfully arranged on rocks, as if Mother Nature herself curated the decor. It's like walking into a cozy living room of a dear friend, where every detail is chosen with care and affection. The small bites was a love letter to the sea and the earth, a storybook filled with tales of abalone, caviar, and Wagyu. Each dish is a character in this gastronomic narrative, with the sea bass stealing the show, daring to keep its skin unskinned, giving you that extra crunch that surprises and delights. The squid waltzes in, draped in a buttery, creamy sauce that's practically a dance on your taste buds. And the bread? It's not just a side, it's the perfect partner in this flavorful tango. The main courses are the heroes of this culinary tale. The duck, lean and tender, strikes the perfect balance, while the rib eye, with its onion sidekick, forms a carnivorous duo that leaves you wanting more. Dessert arrives like the grand finale, and you're treated to a spectacle. Opt for green tea, served in a kettle that could easily win an award for aesthetics. Each dessert takes a bow, creating a sweet harmony that feels like the perfect ending to a wonderful story. This Carmel by the Sea gem is more than just a place to eat; it's a comforting embrace that envelops you. The ambiance is set by the soft lighting, which creates a cozy atmosphere. The staff are passionate food experts who are eager to share their knowledge with you. This restaurant is more than just a meal; it's an adventure that you'll never forget. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience.
Amazing.
Had a memorable anniversary dinner there. Beautiful, insane food. Excellent service. We will be back!
Amazing food. Will blow your taste buds!
This was a spectacular dinner in the heart of beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea. The restaurant has 10 tables, 5 indoor and 5 outdoor. We ate in the indoor dining room which was lovely. The staff was incredibly attentive and explained every course very well. In fact, with each course a member of the kitchen team comes out to describe it in detail and serve, which makes it extra special. The experience was about 2 hours, and we loved every dish, which was a surprise until they brought it out. In other words, no menu. I would highly recommend this dinner to anyone celebrating a special occasion, because it is such a lovely setting and delicious food. We did not have wine, but the wine list was extensive.
The best tasting course I've ever been to, all food was on
The best tasting course I've ever been to, all food was on point, left full and wine pairing & service was on point. We sat in the courtyard which added to the ambiance.
We dined at Aubergine for our wedding anniversary, and it
We dined at Aubergine for our wedding anniversary, and it was just as special as we had hoped. The car show was going on in Carmel that weekend, so there were Italian Super Cars parked out front, so thank goodness for their valet service! Each course was perfectly presented by the chef who made it, with a description of everything on the plate. I think I heard that there were 15 chefs in the kitchen! We even got to chat with Chef Justin. Each dish was timed so well, the whole meal had a beautiful rhythm. It was truly magical. We even got a little box of sweets to take the experience home. You certainly don't need a special occasion to dine at Aubergine, just know that the restaurant will make any occasion a special one. They really deserve a second Michelin star!
Just look most everyone who has reviewed Aubergine, I give
Just look most everyone who has reviewed Aubergine, I give it 5 shining stars! We came here for our wedding night dinner (we eloped) and it was the most magical experience. From the moment we pulled up, our car doors were opened, we were escorted up and met with the friendliest experience ever. The staff truly anticipated every need we had. The ambiance is amazing--a little courtyard adorned with romantic lighting and heaters for the cold. As for the food--I have no words. We went with the sommelier pairing and I thought it was super worth it! The tasting menu was incredible and we truly enjoyed every single thing. My favorite part of all was that the chefs would come out and explain each dish--this was something I hadn't experienced at other Michelin star restaurants before. I would 100% go back and would absolutely recommend!
A journey of flavors in a magnificent place
I had an incredible gastronomic experience in this magnificent restaurant in the heart of Carmel. The chef took us on a taste journey of very high quality. The wine list is also first class!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
