Chef de Cuisine Justin Cogley and Executive Pastry Chef Ron Mendoza prepare sophisticated modern California cuisine. The award winning restaurant was recently voted Fifth best in San Francisco and the Bay Area by Zagat.

Chef de Cuisine Justin Cogley’s and Executive Pastry Chef Ron Mendoza’s cooking philosophy is built first and foremost on spontaneity. With access to an array of outstanding local products as well as ingredients and artisan purveyors from around the world, Cogley and Mendoza focus on incorporating these elements into their ever-changing menus.

The Chef’s Tasting Menu, which changes daily, is designed by the chef and is drawn from a list of up to 20 ultra-seasonal ingredients that may appear as either a main component of a dish or as an accompaniment. Integral to the Chef’s Tasting Menu are the elements of surprise and spontaneity: each dish is a natural progression in flavor and reflects the chef’s imaginative artistry and ability to create a gastronomic journey from 20 pristine ingredients. For a supplement, the Sommelier offers a course-by-course wine pairing with selections chosen specifically for each course.

Carmel's Aubergine Earns Number Five Zagat Ranking, Beating Out Slanted Door, Chez Panisse
09-26-2011

Now one of our finest restaurants has stolen a lofty honor they normally call theirs. OK, steal isn’t the most precise term ever, because the just-bestowed Top 5 Zagat honor was certainly earned by tiny Aubergine (624-8578), which bested thousands of Bay Area and Napa restaurants like Chez Panisse, La Folie and the Restaurant at Meadowood in the rankings’ 2012 edition. But Aubergine did go from unranked to that lofty spot. That doesn't happen too often.
