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)

$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.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing 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.

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!
Be the first to ReplyPositive surprise, true fine dining in a small setting
Excellent fine dining place ! Service, atmosphere, food, wine list - all worth the price. My biggest concern with dining in the US, even fine dining, are the big portion sizes. This was not the case here, great, tasty, small portions in line with degustation menu. Not stuffy, just a nice atmosphere, great, unobtrusive service. Would def, come again.

The multicourse meal was absolutely delicious. This was our second visit, and it equaled the first. Wine pairings were spot-on.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious tasting menu & wine pairing
We celebrated our anniversary here. The tasting menu and wine pairing were what you'd expect - delicious. I'm a vegetarian and they accommodated / adjusted the menu very well. Service was wonderful, and their inside dining area is very comfortable.
Be the first to ReplyI wanted to put 5 stars, but
I have toured gastronomy restaurants in many countries since I was a child with my parents. and I am now retired. A lifelong of eating at amazing French restaurants does not make it easy to rate American ones. Aubergine is really great for the US. I think it can even do better and reach excellence, I will be back and I hope to be able to put 5 stars.

Wam bam thank you mam for $800! Food not good, seemed prepared days ahead of service with warm sauce to make it eatable. Not an eating experience but each course rushed after another, fast food!
Be the first to ReplySpectacular!
Absolutely deserved of at least one Michelin star. Everything was spot on. Food, service, ambiance was perfect. If offered, splurge on the Wagyu. So cool to have it side by side with the dry aged ribeye.

Chef Justin Cogley and his motivated team provided a memorable, splendid evening for our small family. We can't wait to come back when Aubergine will most certainly receive their second Michelin star in near future!

Seated promptly and warmly. Splurged for my wife's birthday and went for THE wine pairing. Started with 2 amuse bouche...the had a sensational sake. The dishes were presented beautifully and the well informed sommelier added useful information. Superb variety of fine wines from France, Austria, Germany and California was represented from Santa Barbara to Napa. The surprise was that our absolute favorite dish was a dish with fresh peas, morels and caviar. Simple fantastic. The rack of lamb and the ribeye and then the wagyu were....perfect. A special restaurant and a special experience for a special occasion.

There are Michelin Stared restaurants as there are Michelin Star restaurants. This one earns every bit of its One Star!!! โญ๏ธ
I waited to long to make my reservation for our Anniversary and hade to be put on their waitlist. I did not tell them at the time it was my 27th wedding anniversary. Whentt called I jump on it. I have eaten at many Michelin Stared restaurants and went in with an open mind that it would be like it use to be with Michelin. All I can say is wow! The service was 100% spot on and the food was 100% spot on to the standard! Donโt be fooled by the other Michelin Starred restaurants in the Carmel area. This is truly what youโre looking for. Fist Class all the way!
A special dining experience
Wonderful experience from the moment we walked in starting with the novel sized wine list. The staff was friendly, informative and attentive. Each of the many courses was unique and interesting with wonderful flavors nicely complemented by the wine pairings. The wagyu beef special was incredible and well worth the extra cost. Definitely a memorable evening.
Be the first to ReplyPhenomenal experience
The service was top tier - the entire wait staff is charming and attentive. The meal was beautifully presented and flavors were phenomenal, we loved all of the dishes and left feeling satisfied. They accommodated our allergens and didnโt make us feel like we were missing out on core elements of the meal, which is a nice change compared to other tasting menu style restaurants. Yes, it is expensive but I believe the experience is worth it.
Be the first to ReplyWow. Great service amazing food. Accommodated celiac daughter.
Wow. We came here for my husbandโs sixtieth birthday. What an absolute delight! The care shown by the chef and staff was so superior to any experience I have ever had. My daughter has celiac disease and the chef prepared each item safely for her, even the bread pudding. We are a foodie family and my daughter thought she would never have another extravagant meal again. Wow. What a gift. And during the pandemic! The meal itself was done so incredibly well. Each course an experience in itself. We have eaten at three star Michelin restaurants and I dare say that what they lack that Aubergne has is soul. The deliciousness was prioritized over the extreme gastronomy. The food was scrumptious and unique. I cannot remember ever enjoying a meal as much. What more can I say? Thank you!
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful Cuisine in a beautiful setting
Exquisite. Lovely presentations, innovative combinations of flavors and ingredients, excellent service, a beautiful setting, all under the command of highly talented executive chef, Justin Cogley. An extensive wine list, creative cocktails and the backdrop of L'Auberge add to the charm. Aubergine is a unique and marvelous experience.
Amazing experience and food
We celebrated our honeymoon in Carmel and treated ourselves to Aubergine and it exceeded our expectations. The menu was artfully crafted, presented beautifully, and paired with delicious wine. The service was phenomenal and the staff was attentive. This was a highlight of our honeymoon and a very special evening.
Be the first to ReplyA truly beautiful experience.
A truly beautiful experience. A superb, well crafted and wonderfully presented menu. A truly sophisticated approach to the best that the region has to offer by a chef who amazes you a tad more with every next dish in front of you. Excellent well trained staff, sommeliers very relevant to even sophisticated and developed wine drinkers. A real experience Iโd highly recommend to anyone whoโs serious about food and drink.
Be the first to ReplyFood and service went downhill
The evening started out promising. The chefโs creativity and the kitchenโs execution were in fine form, and the waitstaff were attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately the food became simple and uninteresting as the menu progressed to the seafood and meat courses. Portions were so small as to be miserly. There was no feeling of generosity. Service staff started to be absent when needed.
Desserts were thoroughly disappointing. The pastry chef was doing a horrible job. The flavors and textures of palate cleanser and dessert were terrible. Creativity lacking. Mignardises to end the night were cloyingly sweet. Worst of all, service staff were absent almost at all times โ no one to ask for water, the check, or for any other simple request.
We felt ripped off to have paid a pretty sum for this experience. We have dined at many other Michelin starred restaurants around the world and are happy to give recognition wherever due. This restaurant was not worth a positive review.
A special night out
The four of us enjoyed the wonderful tasting menu with the suggested wine pairings and are happy to report that the whole experience matched the Michelin starred expectation. Service was extremely good and friendly, completely efficient and good humoured, with the sommelier assuredly on top of his subject. Would definitely go back once we've saved up our pennies!
