"Open for: Lunch, dinner, with a breakPrice range: $$$$Anthony’s Chophouse opened in 2018, providing a well-heeled destination for premium service, steak, and seafood in Carmel. Created by developer Tony Lazzara, whose uncle owns the neighboring high-end meat counter, Joe’s Butcher Shop, the luxurious space sets the scene for inventive takes on steakhouse cuisine, such as the harvest pig (seared pork belly with fruit and nut compote), gambas pil pil (a reimagining of the ubiquitous shrimp cocktail), and a flight of four-ounce portions of USDA Prime, grass-fed, and wagyu beef. Know before you go: Ask for a table downstairs to watch the kitchen and the bar area." - Brian Garrido
