The 17 Best Restaurants In Carmel - Carmel - The Infatuation

"When you think of the word “steakhouse,” you probably imagine wood-paneled walls, stiff leather booths, and stuffy dress codes. Seventh & Dolores is none of those things: It’s like a steakhouse had a baby with a Scandinavian design store, and somehow it works. While you could certainly go the whole nine steak yards here, we like to grab a seat at the bar for pre-dinner cocktails and people-watching. Look on as the kitchen does their thing while you sip a barrel-aged Manhattan or smoked Old Fashioned and dig into some steak tartare with a date or a good friend." - allison green, clara hogan
