  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Hot spot
  • Great for outdoor dining
We know good seafood, we know how to buy it and we know how to prepare it. Unlike most restaurants (even the best of them) where fish is often a secondary item on the menu. at Flaherty's it's all about seafood.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Flaherty's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar is a charming seafood spot in Carmel Village. Guests rave about the "best Ceasar salad in Carmel" and "awesome food" with a variety of gluten-free options. The fresh oysters, fish and chips, and seafood curry are standout dishes. Friendly staff, especially Rodney, enhance the dining experience. While some reviews mention inconsistent food quality, many patrons find the outdoor seating and welcoming atmosphere delightful.

    Food used to be good, now 1 out of our 5 entrees was ok, the rest were really bad. Sand dabs were dry and over done, Caesar was over dressed, seared ahi was good. Manhattans used the cheap cherries. Then they begged us for good reviews w free cookies. Great location kind waiters but food has gone way downhill

    I love this place! The clam chowder is some of the best in the United States and the service is great. The only reason I don’t give them a perfect score. It’s because they seem to be out as most of their Goodwine all the time.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Robert! We're thrilled that you love our clam chowder and appreciate the great service. Can't wait to have you back for more delicious meals!

    Started with dozen oysters but was not told what the different types were. Lobster gnocci was okay but portion was very small and not worth the price. The paella was recommended by server and it was awful (very liquidy), and not worth the price. Server never came and asked about our meals for feedback. Disappointing experience overall.

    We're genuinely sorry to hear about your disappointing dining experience, Tracy. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us - it's important that we communicate our menu options and recommend the most suitable option for you.
