    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!

    I took my sister here for her birthday. This was our first time here with the new owners. We went about five years ago, and it was OK. It is MUCH better now. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was upgraded. I liked the hanging lights and fireplace. I gave the service four stars because our server wore a ski jacket the entire time. It was so strange. Did he spill something on his shirt? It felt like someone off the street was serving us. He was friendly and attentive, but getting past the down jacket was hard. I would recommend this restaurant, but I do not think I will go for a special occasion again.
