    Grasing’s is a gem. This was our first time eating here and we will come back anytime we are in Carmel. The dining room is a beautiful, comfortable, quiet space. The service fun, attentive and professional and the food extremely good. The wine list is extensive and well chosen with a nice selection of half bottles. There was also an excellent selection of wine by the glass. We enjoyed our time here so much that we decided to move to the bar after dinner for a night cap and the bartender made that a fun way to end our evening. Give Grasing’s a try. You won’t be disappointed.

    A fantastic find in Carmel. Food, service and setting all excellent. Wine list is pricey but comprehensive. It was my wife’s birthday and they gave her a card and decorated the table. Nice touches.

    Three long time friends visiting from the Bay Area. Wonderful lunch: butter lettuce, swordfish, petrale. Service was impeccable. In this day & age when most everything is ultra casual, it is a joy to dine at a top notch establishment that has white tablecloths fur lunch, a staff that is incredibly attentive & a reasonable price for a delicious cuisine. Please don’t change a thing! Happy New Year 2025.

    My husband and I had a fabulous evening at Grazings. The calm, quiet and classic decor provided the perfect place for an elegantly delicious meal. I highly recommend the Buratta , blood orange, pomegranate, etc. starter. Delicious! My husband had halibut which was perfect, also I highly recommend Grazings.

    They have always worked to make sure our experience was induvial and exceptional (even during Covid). Our waiter, Allen, was great in every way (and could her rattle off specials like no other). They took care of our dog - bed, water, food, and heating light. I do miss the pasta that I have had in the past and the scallops. But the food was lovely. Thank you, Amy

    We eat at Grasings once or twice a year when visiting Carmel. It never disappoints, but this night was above and beyond. We sat outside on a cold evening because we travel with dog. They set up the heaters and offered a dog bed for our guy. Service was prompt and pleasant. I ordered the seafood special of the night and my husband the salmon. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and had so much flavor. The chef is amazing!!! I look forward to going back on our next visit. Also their cocktails are perfection! It's a pricey restaurant as most are in Carmel, but this one was worth it.
