    The food and service was spectacular! Wonderful fish/beef and good portion sizes. It is very expensive but that's Carmel! They ran out of sticky toffee pudding so despite that bummer it was a terrific dining experience.

    We celebrated our 7th anniversary at Grasing and everything was perfect. I mentioned in the OP reservation that was an anniversary and nothing more. Once we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and a nice decoration at the table for the special occasion. That made my wife happy. The service was perfect, professional and atentive and the food was delicious. I've been there a few times already and I can say that Grasings is one of my favourite spot in Carmel. Thank you!

    Exceptional experience! The food is much better than the nearby restaurant “Seventh & Dolores”. The service was very attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    This was our second time to the restaurant. The first time was with some friends and we had a wonderful experience. But this time was different. We came to celebrate our wedding last night as a engaged couple. The special occasion was not acknowledged by anyone even though it was on the reservation. The service was lacking in attentiveness and my plate kept getting cleaned before my partner was close to being done. Just small things that were missing for a fine dining experience. Food was good and the oyster mignonette was so creative and delicious. Thank you
