    Contemporary

    In a historic hotel on Carmel's main drag, Justin Cogley orchestrates a tasting menu that marries classical discipline with contemporary flair—think cabbage tacos layered with caviar and braised treviso, or dry-aged beef brushed with wagyu XO. The dining room hums with understated refinement, and the wine list rewards close attention. It's cooking that feels rooted in place yet stubbornly its own.
