Restaurant Description
The Gem has long been a local favorite, off the tourist track and tucked in back of a small courtyard on San Carlos, behind Carmel's only liquor store. It has always been a place to find a quiet table at which to enjoy bistro-style, Euro-American food at reasonable prices. The Menu is dotted with hearty favorites such as roasted duck, New York sirloin with brandied peppercorn cream sauce, filet mignon, veal picatta or Marsala, frog legs Provencal, or a comfy cassoulet. Bathed in low romantic light the two adjacent rooms are accented by rich sapphire blue walls and a newly painted mural of a tree lined beach. Experience "affordable excellence" tonight at The Gem Restaurant, Carmel by the Sea.
