AT&T MARSHAL'S UNIFORMS. WE PASSED INSPECTION.
VAN GOGH'S TABLE FROM FRANCE
THE MILAGRO ROOM
We recently returned to Carmel, a place that has owned a corner of my soul since my first drive through on 17 Mile Drive in 1964, a place I have returned to so many times, never to be disappointed.
We once more marshaled at the AT&T Pro-Am and were favored with magnificent weather. The tournament is in February, probably the worst weather month of the year. I don't know if I should push my luck for another AT&T.
On our last night in Carmel (we stayed at the friendly, comfortable and affordable Carmel Crystal Bay Inn) we dined at Casanova's, which claims to be the most Romantic Restaurant in Carmel. I won't dispute that having wooed my future wife there fifteen years ago. Something was going on!
This is my answer to a question I often receive from friends who plan on visiting Carmel. If you are in Carmel for dinner, and don't go to Casanova's a great opportunity has been lost. It has everything. Food to remember, location in the heart of one of America's great villages, atmosphere galore, a wine cellar to copy and take to heaven, but not to be too praiseworthy a little attention needs to given to the bar stock. I asked for a classic Manhattan made with American rye, and they had none. Oh well, there is always room for improvement.
If you are four persons you can reserve Van Gogh's table that he used in France. We dined in the Milagro Room, quiet and more intimate, nice fire in the fireplace, rustic but well ordered.
Nightly meals are three courses and I had the main course Osso Buco while Elysee snagged the last order of Cannelloni Romagnola. Wonderful. Don't miss this place. Make sure you reserve in advance.
Bravo Cassanova.
