Grasings is a very good fine meal option for Carmel with great menu that doesn't remain static. It shines as a singular Carmel restaurant when the town is moving towards too many restaurants owned by two groups that have turned into tourist food traps serving less than average food. However, the differentiator at Grasings is the bar and that differentiator's name is Kevin. If not for Kevin, we would still frequent from time to time but with Kevin we go in at least once weekly. Kevin and servers like Kevin are solid gold in Carmel and ensure 5 star ratings for atmosphere and service. When you find them you never have a bad experience in fact you are guaranteed a great experience. The menu caters to all, carnivores, seafood, steaks and vegetarians - love the veggie burger! Great place to meet locals and tourists, especially if Kevin is working. We admit that when we walk to Grasings and find that Kevin isn't working, we find another venue. That isn't a knock on Grasings but rather a nod to Kevin. read more

Grasing's for lunch during our best-coast Cal Poly admissions day weekend. The atmosphere--exactly the kind of upscale, coastal vibe you want when visiting Carmel. Food: Crispy Calamari: These were tasty, though a bit on the oily side. Still, a solid start to the meal. Grasing's Crab Cakes: Perfection. Coming from Maryland, we have crab cake standards, and these were "all killer, no filler", great texture. Farmers Market Beet Salad: As it should, a very fresh dish; we added Salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Service: We had reservations and were seated right on time. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and kept the pace of the meal feeling relaxed but professional. "Space": As a total bonus, we ended up seated right next to NASA astronaut Ed Lu (veteran of STS-84 and STS-106)! He was incredibly kind, and we had a great chat--turns out his daughter is also starting at Cal Poly in the fall. Meeting a man who has performed a six-hour spacewalk on the ISS definitely elevated a "very nice lunch" to an unforgettable one. If you're looking for a beautiful spot in Carmel with top-tier food and a great atmosphere, Grasing's is a must. Perfect lunch in a beautiful part of the world! read more

Bistro like place with a stellar crab eggs benedict for brunch. Food: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 2.5 (~$30 each for Benedict and burger) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: sure Eve award: best Benedict ever Highlights: - Crab avocado benedict: everything about this was perfection. The crab was a pile of fresh meat on its own--not dressed, not in a crabcake--pure and delightful. The avocado was sliced at just the right size and creamy and fresh. The egg itself was a wonder: warm and poached better than I'd ever seen for maximum runny yolkness. And the sauce: showstopper. Perfect balance of richness but not too thick of a texture resulting in a silkyness. The flavor though, mind blowing. Not sure what the extra ingredient was to add an oomph to it--almost reminiscent of a sherry or cognac. Paired with potatoes to dip into the sauce and a large cup of fruit. Benedicts are my go to brunch item so I've had a bunch and this wins hands down. If it was a football game compared to the others, the score would be 49-0. 5+ stars!!! Wines: apparently they have 25k different bottles of wine and a thick wine menu bible. - Ports: unique selection. Many large formats and older ones you don't typically see. My hub was excited about his 1970 Sandeman. Sediment is expected for something that old, but it could've been strained to filter it out as there was a lot at the bottom of his glass. Midlights: - Burger: good size, cooked well, on a square ciabatta bun. Cheese and bacon were there, but didn't add too much to the flavor. Fries were double fried and nice and crispy. 3 stars Lowlights: - Pretty dead at lunchtime inside - They have signs outside highlighting their patio, but didn't have an option on opentable to book the patio and they didn't offer it when we checked in. read more

Simply amazing. From the moment we arrived the restaurant provides such a welcoming environment. The food and ambiance were exceptional. We had two orders of the Filet Mignon and one order of the Braised Short Ribs. The steaks were cooked to perfection, extremely tender and flavorful. The Braised Short Ribs had wonderful texture. Both paired excellent with our wine. The deserts were equally amazing, we had the crème brûlée and tiramisu, but our favorite was the strawberry shortcake. They have a superior wine list. Grasing's has received the Grand Award by Wine Spectator, which only less than 100 restaurants worldwide receive such recognition. We appreciate the manager for taking the time to check on our table. A special thank you to Steven, Jose, and Jesus for making our evening memorable with their service and attention to detail. read more

I wanted to eat lunch somewhere that had great ambiance. Found it and made reservations. Parking is not fun here but we managed. It's very close to downtown which I love. It has a very cute, fancy, cottage feel to it. The service was excellent. We were seated right away and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious! I'm going on a girls trip soon and we are headed to Carmel, so I will recommend this place to my girlfriends. read more

Fabulous dinner for the Mrs and I. Service was great, I had the short ribs and she had the halibut. We will definitely return.

The food was great!! Steak we both got medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The chef did a great job!! Inside the restaurant is quite packed in so our table was a little small and there was not a lot of personal space around anyone's tables. Our server was great, we were very taken care of the whole night. However, we did have to wait around 30 minutes outside the restaurant even though we booked a reservation for 6pm in advance. Because we got seated late, we stayed until they closed and it felt like we were being rushed out. Overall the food was phenomenal. If I were to come here again I would maybe just order and take it back to our hotel, not sure if this restaurant does togo orders but I don't know if I could recommend this place to others given my experience. read more

There are many places to dine in Carmel. We decided to experience Grasing's based on their reputation for excellence. Dinner was in celebration of a birthday. We had reservations and arrived a little early and were seated immediately. Our table was a window location facing 6th street. The table was decorated with Happy Birthday greetings along with a birthday card. Service from Andrew was prompt and food delivery timely. We chose to share a filet Mignon and the chef accommodated us preparing half medium rare and half well done. The steak was cooked to perfection. Our sides were a loaded baked potato that was large enough for two people and Brussel sprouts that was enough for four people. A complementary chocolate desert was the finale to an excellent birthday celebration. Grasing's should be on your dining list when in Carmel read more

Delicious! Tasty!! Well worth it. Excellent service! At least 2 people have recommended this restaurant when we got into Carmel. We didn't have a reservation, but we really wanted to try it since it was highly recommended. They gave us the option of sitting at the bar area which had some tables. The plus in sitting at the bar area is that you can order from their regular menu and the bar menu. I ordered the Sole Menuire and hubby ordered the Grilled bistro rib eye steak, 10oz which included French fries and salad. His steak was from the bar menu. We had also ordered the octopus as the starter and that was very tasty. The service was excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant and making reservations prior to going. But if you don't and don't mind, the bar seating was great too. read more

Lovely Birthday Dinner with My Daughter and our small chihuahua, Louie. Since my husband had golf at pebble beach and it's my birthday weekend: My daughter and I celebrated my birthday again with our small Chihuahua at Grasing's, and it turned out to be such a sweet and memorable evening. The staff was welcoming right from the start and made us feel comfortable dining with our Louie boy. At first, our waiter (Frey) seemed a bit off, maybe just having a long day -- but he really warmed up as the night went on and ended up making the experience special for us. The food was absolutely delicious! The standout for me was the ceviche -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. And the lemon drop cocktail? Incredible. I'd come back just for that drink alone! Lol Overall, a charming spot in Carmel with great food and a cozy vibe. Would definitely return. read more

Our early Father's Day lunch celebration at Grasing's went amazingly well and we all left happy and satisfied! From the ambience to the food and the service, we love them all! We had our puppy with us so we were on the look for a dog friendly restaurant. Grasing's is a few block away from the busy Main Street of downtown Carmel. It looks quaint and cottage-like from the outside. The server quickly checked us in and led us to our table in the cute patio behind the restaurant. There are around 5-6 tables at most at the patio. I highly recommend you make a reservation first before you come as tables are filled fast within 10-15 minutes of our arrival (around 12:15pm on a Saturday). We love that the patio is tucked away in a cute alley who gives us privacy. Our server was so attentive. They prompt brought us water and menu. And water and menu for my puppy as well! There are dog beds of all sizes you may use to make your puppy as comfortable as possible. We were so pleased with how attentive our server was. When we asked him to recommend a bottle of wine for us, he took time to ask about our preferences and helped us picked out the best bottle for our taste. He was so patient too to let us taste 2-3 types of wines before we decided which one we liked the best. The food was of generous portion. We particularly enjoyed the crab cakes. We recently came back from Baltimore, Maryland, where crab cakes were well known. Grasing's crab cakes are very comparable with what Baltimore has to offer. Other dishes were tasty and freshly made. We all licked our plates clean Overall, highly recommend Grasing's, especially if you have your fur baby with you! read more

The front dining room where we were seated for our reservation is classy and no matter how many of us dined in that front part of Grasing's, the noise level was just right and kept the ambiance perfect for our dinner. In addition, I enjoyed facing the window and seeing people walking by and seeing the outdoors of the beautiful Carmel neighborhood where we were. Our server did such an excellent job answering our questions and paid attention to my dietary restrictions. He gave us details about the wine list and gave the superb 2023 Kuranui, Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc recommended pairing that was perfect with my seafood squid ink pasta and side of veggies. Our food arrived in such a timely manner and the staff refilled our waters without our needing to ask. They checked on us often which we greatly appreciated. The portions of our delicious prawn scampi, seafood pasta, and veggie dishes, were perfect. We were comfortably full. Our grand finale of mouth watering desserts of Southern Spring Carrot Cake with buttermilk cream cheese frosting, caramel sauce, and crystalized walnuts and vanilla bean crème brûlée were decadent. I absolutely love Carmel and hope to dine in Grasing's again in the future! read more

This restaurant is absolutely overrated and we would never come again. The food is average at best. The calamari appetizer is filled with friend onion slice and very few calamari. I would say 75/25. The pasta of the day was just red sauce meat pasta. Seafood pasta was average as well We heard the panna cotta here was great so we decided to to give it a try. It turns out to be the worst panna cotta I've ever had. Their strawberry panna cotta is just plain yogurt with strawberry sauce and dried strawberries. This is NOT how a panna cotta should taste. Lastly, we're very disappointed at their service. The restaurant decided to open the doors which cause a lot of flies to come in the restaurant. When we told the servers about this issue. They just said oh yeah it's that time of the day. We even had a fly that landed on our table. The female waitress just swept it away without saying anything. She acted as if nothing happened. This isn't the service I would expect from any decent restaurant. If you're looking for excellent service with exceptional food, STAY AWAY! This isn't the place for you! read more

We came with high hopes on the recommendation of a local and left disappointed. Two of our five meals were just fine, one was very good and two were poor. The sole meunière was the star of the evening, cooked perfectly and dusted off to the very last bite. The chipotle glazed half chicken was served raw at the thigh. Not slightly pink or full pink, it was raw. It was removed and returned with nary a word about the situation, which was not a matter of preference but a matter of safety. The waiter offered no apology for the error or for this person having to watch the rest of us eat our meals and then having to have her meal out of sync with the rest of the party. Nor was she offered a small plate while waiting for her refired entree. The thigh was now fully cooked, but the breast was now dry and tough. The manager did stop by later to apologize for the chicken. Overall insufficient response to a food poisoning risk that should never have left the kitchen. The prime New York steak, at $65, was clearly an end cut and much closer to sirloin. It was ordered medium rare but served closer to medium and thus a bit dry; and being the end cut was tough. We did not mention this due to the underwhelming response to the above situation with the chicken. The service was perfunctory, lacking warmth and leaving us feeling tolerated not welcomed. read more

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service. A charming dinner spot in Carmel

Grasing's was awesome! I've heard nothing but good things and it definitely lived up to the hype. We found ourselves without brunch plans on a Saturday and were given some very long wait times at nearby spots. We were greeted by super friendly and accommodating staff all around. The main dining room was perfectly kept, not too loud, vaulted ceilings, nice and bright. The menu was explained thoroughly, servers and bussers were attentive and we felt well cared for. I'm shocked there were available tables considering how great it was. Food & Drinks: Broccoli Soup - light, savory, very yummy! Vegetable Sandwich - tasty, very filling, the side salad is huge and dressed well. Would've loved a more savory cheese on it. Club Sandwich - my husband loves a club sandwich, this was in his words "phenomenal." Crab Bloody Mary - surprisingly light and refreshing, the crab on top was very fresh! Ginger Bliss - sooo good, perfect compliment to the meal. Can't wait to return for dinner! We haven't stopped raving about that Bloody Mary! read more

Pretty wonderful spot! I can't really comment on everyone on the staff and everything on the menu because we often plan the trip around seeing my guy behind the bar Kevin. Extensive knowledge, good control of the room, great mixes and a brainiac when it comes to whiskey advice. Can recommend going there when he is on the clock read more

Decided to go with Grassing to celebrate a big occasion. Made reservation on open table. They decorated the table with little hearts and left a cute congratulations card from the chef. That was such a nice touch! The service was on it as well. The drinks were all good I got the holiday martini and a raspberry cocktail. The carpaccio and kale salad were both really good. We ordered the 32 OZ prime rib for two which came with veggies and the rosemary goat cheese called potatoes which in my opinion was amazing. The steak was really good as well it paired well with the peppercorn sauce. The Mac n Cheese wasn't anything special and lacked in flavor but the overall meal was amazing. They even surprised us with cake. Grasing's was an excellent choice and glad I went with them to celebrate. read more

We visited Grasings in Carmel during our anniversary weekend and wanted to give this long standing restaurant a fair try. It is considered a classic in town, but the experience fell short for us. The ambiance reflects an older Carmel style, which can be charming, but in this case it feels slightly outdated. There is a way to preserve that classic Carmel character while still giving the space a refreshed, more inviting feel, and the restaurant would benefit from that balance. After ordering our appetizers, my wife and I both realized we would likely try another restaurant afterward, simply because the food did not stand out. To start, we ordered the calamari. It arrived dry and tasted like a frozen product rather than something freshly prepared. The breading was plain, the flavor was lacking, and it did not set a great tone for the meal. We added a Caesar salad with salmon, and again it was very average. The seasoning was minimal and there was nothing about it that made the dish memorable. For drinks, we tried the crab Bloody Mary. With a name like that, you expect one nicely presented piece of crab as the highlight. Instead, the drink was filled with small pieces that floated throughout, which affected the overall experience. What happened next was unexpected. Most bartenders will taste their creation discreetly before serving, but in this case the bartender served the drinks first, then came back afterward, asked if he may, and dipped a straw into my wife's drink to taste it, explaining he wanted to check the spice level. It created an uncomfortable moment and did not feel welcoming. This was a lunch service, the restaurant was not busy, and nothing happening around us suggested that the quality or attention should have been off. After that interaction, we paid the tab and left quickly. Grasings is a place you visit if you want an acceptable meal and the experience of dining at a Carmel staple. If you are in love with food, appreciate thoughtful execution, and enjoy memorable dining experiences, you may want to explore other options in the area. read more

We arrived 15 mins before our reservation time. The staff was setting up for service so we were asked to sit at the bar to wait. The bartender was awesome and offered up local dining advice per our request and gave us tastes of the wines we were choosing between. The dining area was comfortable and quiet so conversation was easy. The yellowtail crudo was good but lacked in seasoning and acidity. The cut on the fish was good though. The crab cakes were wonderful and had plenty of crab without a lot of the filler. The sauce to dip them in was also great. Hubby had the rack of lamb and said it was cooked to perfection and one of the best he has had. I had the New York steak and it was cooked to medium rare per my request. The Au Poivre sauce on the side was so tasty. I preferred it over the bernaise which I also ordered ($4/sauce side). The food was wonderful but the service was a bit off. I would have given 3.5 stars but that's not an option. Our server only checked on us one time. He never asked how our appetizers were and he only appeared to ask how we were enjoying our entrees until after we were well into them. He should have checked in on each course and also soon after our lamb and steak were delivered to make sure the cook and taste were on point. He never cleared anything from our table. The other staff gathered around together to chat or whatever and also didn't clear our plates or glasses. We had to ask. For a restaurant of this caliber I would def expect otherwise. Overall the food was worth another visit but the service would make us think twice. read more

The attention to detail and service was amazing. Brian was our server and he was super easy to talk to and checked in on us just the right amount. Ambiance was romantic and warm, just what we expected on a gloomy Sunday night. As far as the food, the only thing that could have been better was the baked potato, the sour cream ratio to the other enhancements was overbearing. Nonetheless, everything else was FANTASTIC and we will be back again. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Ambiance 10/10. Food was delicious, 8/10, left feeling full, satisfied and happy, always good when that happens

A Mixed Bag, But the Bar is an Absolute Gem. Honestly, this place is a tale of two experiences. The food? A solid 2.5 out of 5 -- nothing that's going to blow your mind or bring you back on its own. The atmosphere, however, is lovely and sets a great tone the moment you walk in. But here's the real reason I keep coming back: Kevin. The bar is a flat-out five stars, and a huge part of that is because of this guy. Kevin is the kind of bartender who makes you feel like a regular from the very first visit. He's attentive, personable, and genuinely makes sure every single person at his bar has an incredible experience. If it weren't for him, I'll be honest -- I probably wouldn't frequent this place nearly as much as I do. I send everyone I know in to see him, and every single one of them thanks me for it. My advice? Skip the hesitation, head straight to the bar, and ask for Kevin. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, he will take care of you. Highly recommend the bar experience -- just say hi to Kevin and let him do the rest. read more

I went there with my boyfriend for Valentine's day dinner. It was my first time here. We made a reservation for 5pm in advance. They had the tables decorated with a rose you could take home and Valentine's Day themed confetti on the tablecloth. We were one of the first ones there for an earlier dinner. They had a special 3 course menu for Valentine's Day and it was $100 per person which was a good deal! My boyfriend and I ordered different food so we could try multiple dishes. We ordered 2 salads the Brussel sprouts and Tuscan kale salad and the beet salad and bread for the starter. The bread was whole grain and crispy. For the main dishes we ordered the prime rib eye filet and the seafood pasta. The pasta was black due to squid ink! For dessert, we ordered the creme brûlée and panna cotta. The portions were all big and I was so full by the end. The steak was very tender. The seafood pasta had a lot of seafood and didn't skimp and not too heavy. Everything tasted fresh. Definitely worth the deal! The service was impeccable! The bathroom is outside of the restaurant and you can go through the back door and they had a waiter waiting there just to open the door for people who needed to go outside. The dishes came out appropriately at the right time one by one and the food was hot when it arrived. I don't like cold/lukewarm food! Also we ate bread for the starter and the server came and scraped off the crumbs from the tablecloth after we finished eating the bread! Overall, want to try this place again next time I visit Carmel/Monterey! read more

Let me first say that I was really looking forward to spending my birthday dinner here. It began on a good note. Our servers were very attentive despite us sitting out in the patio with our puppy. They quickly brought him a water bowl and offered him a dog bed. Then our appetizers came out, Spanish octopus - 4/5 & beef carpaccio 3.5/5 (lacked seasoning), and the crab cakes 4/5. Then the Bone-In Ribeye for Two 32 oz. with rosemary-goat cheese scalloped potatoes, cabernet-shallot sauce for $145.00. It came out sliced on smoking hot cast iron skillet. It looked and smelled great! We ordered it medium rare. As we looked at it, this steak was severely unevenly cooked. The edges were WELL DONE, then moving closer to the middle it was medium WELL and then the center was medium. We told the server who quickly apologized and took it back to the kitchen. Less than 5 minutes later, the server returns with the MANAGER, who then says, "I spoke to the chef and he said this is how they make the steak. Please just try it and you may like it." We reluctantly agreed, but it was just WAY too over cooked for our liking. We told the server. The manager came by again and said that he would have them make another one for us. Honestly, we were offended, but decided to stay and wait for the new steak but 40+ minutes later, our frustration grew and we were fed up. My husband wanted to leave and so did I. When the manager came out again, I told him we were ready to leave. He ensured that the steak was on the way out. When it finally did, it was cooked well BUT.... there was NO SEASONING on it whatsoever. The first OVERCOOKED steak, at least had flavor, this 2nd one, was flavorless!!! Yeah... we left after paying for what we ate, minus the $145 steaks they messed up on. read more

I will give this 4/5 instead of 3/5 because the staff were really friendly and super helpful when I sneakily asked them to bring a birthday dessert out for my wife. The place is cute, but it was overpriced for what it was. My short ribs were tasty but not worth over $50. My wife had the vegetarian gnocchi dish, which was ~$45. It is just really expensive. I appreciate a fancy dinner out and am willing to pay for it. It was worth every penny when we went to Aubergine a few years back. I had a strawberry, mint, and lemon cocktail that I felt was too tart and needed some sweetness. We also had the beet salad for an appetizer, which had blood orange or orange pieces in it, which I felt made it too tart as well. When they served my short rib, the plate was piping hot, but the mashed potatoes were lukewarm, so it was not the most enjoyable bite for me. All in all, it was a tasty meal, but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Grasings in Carmel was nice. Not many tables occupied for our 5:30 reservation. A family of five came in and was seated next to us with a small child celebrating a birthday. They could've seated us elsewhere, but I guess they chose not to. Anyway, food was very good although a bit more expensive than the menus shown on Yelp. Salmon fillet was nicely cooked and risotto super creamy. Special squid ink pasta with seafood chunks was very nice. Quite a bit of seafood and three whole shrimp on top. Another dish was the Petrale soul there was quite a bit of fish on that and it was served over garlic mashed potatoes, which were tasty. Crabcakes are pretty standard and OK. Not sure they were worth $30 but I guess it is Carmel. All in all pretty good ---not sure I'd be back but it was an experience. read more

Tried this restaurant on a whim and did not disappoint. The staff was warm and greeted us when we walked in, the hostess seemed a bit removed but no big deal. We chose to sit outside despite the chilliness because my friend and I are a bit loud. The outside area had warmers and they offered us blankets. They also were very dog friendly with a dog menu and dog beds. For our appetizer we got the surf and turf which was ahi tuna and pork belly. The pork belly was very savory and tender. The ahi was very fresh, light and the sesame seed crust it had gave a delicious change in texture. For our main course we got the ribeye split for two. It was very tender, seasoned nicely nothing complaints at all. Posted some pictures of the meat chopped up despite the unappealing photo since the meat looked very black in the photos. The green veggies were slightly overcooked and too soft for my liking, but the carrot was fine. The only thing I would not recommend was the Mac and cheese. Very simple, lacked flavor and dimension, tasted like slightly cheesey buttery noodles, I wished I'd tried another side since this one seemed plain and uninteresting. Overall the experience was lovely the waitstaff checked in on us often at the perfect times and most of the food was delicious. read more

Went to this bar excited for their cocktails, but it was a letdown. They were out of blackberry syrup for their specialty drink and didn't have mezcal for a margarita--except a $36-per-shot option. Great vibe, but if you're a craft cocktail bar, being stocked is a must. Disappointing! I spoke with the manager and explained that it's not fair to the customer if they run out of the mezcal typically used for their margarita. They should use what they have rather than upselling such an expensive option. Disappointing experience! read more

Back to Grasing's the second time around. My family enjoy the brunch menu a lot. We sat in the patio because we have our dog friend with us. The service is decent and constant on a Sunday. The vibe is also chill since we were sitting outside a hidden corner. Overall, great place to dine with family! Dishes depend on your liking. People who ordered sandwiches love their dish for brunch. I like my sole dish was great. The pasta dishes might be a bit overcooked but overall eating for it was 8.7/10 read more
