Carnal focuses on the bold flavors of wood fire and caramelization balanced with acidic, raw, and seasonal elements. We are a passionate group of cooks who do not cut corners and hope that is evident when you try our food. Our signature dish is a bone-in beef rib that is sous-vide before grilling over an open wood fire and finished with rendered bone-marrow. We source many of our ingredients from local farms and fisheries.

We are a high-low, fine-casual concept making simple, seasonal American cuisine inspired by the culinary traditions of Italy, France, & Spain. Expect to see dishes that you are used to seeing at fancy restaurants & some you would typically find at a drive-thru or dive bar. but they all are served on a plate from Goodwill. Our menus are ever-changing, not just by the season but by the day. we embrace change, creativity & inspiration every chance we get.For groups of 2 people, we recommend ordering 4-6 dishes from the three sections of the menu (depending on how hungry you are!). for example - 2 snacks, 1 small share plate, & 1 large share plate.The food is designed to be enjoyed family-style. As such, your food will be coursed out as we see fit. for groups ordering individually, we will do our best to get your order out all at once, but you may experience some slightly longer wait times.We can’t wait to see you!

    Had a lovely meal here today! Food was very tasty and service was unpretentious and efficient! We were greeted with a warm welcoming smile from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to go back - sitting by the windows had a lovely view of the boats in the harbor. Highly recommend!

    We absolutely loved this restaurant. It was our first time visiting. The atmosphere is amazing with all the windows and natural light. Staff was very inviting. We loved our bartender Isaac. He was super friendly and made me one of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever ordered. The food was just as good as the drinks and friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean as well as the bathrooms. Great little spot to take the kiddos as well. We can’t wait to go back!
