NEWLY OPENED in Carmel, the latest outpost of St. Elmo spinoff 1933 Lounge declares itself a speakeasy—but Prohibition-era flappers and fellas never had it this good. Its vast dining room is dotted with low tables flanked by high-backed chairs covered in jungle cat tapestry, while a distinctive horseshoe bar topped with a giant lamp centers the room. It’s a scene straight from one of Steven Soderbergh’s Oceans films, all flattering light and luxe finishes by way of Minnesota-based Shea Design. This South African lobster tail offers an exciting plot twist beyond the menu’s reliable steaks and martinis, perfect for a cozy dinner with an A-lister or a simple planning meeting for your latest, most glamorous heist.
