“Because date nights are rare, Mike and I tend to be a little picky. Carmel makes the grade. The perfect comprisal of chic atmosphere, exceptional service and elevated coastal cuisine, it’s our favorite spot in Buckhead for a date night in the city. They call it a “love letter to the coast,” and we think that’s accurate. From savory grilled oysters to creamy caviar fries or the perfectly crisped redfish, it’s an indulgence for both our palates and our parenting.”
