    Mixed quality. The crudo appetizer had excellent ingredients and flavors, but slightly overpowered the fish. Bread and butter were great. Fillet mignon was very tender and perfectly cooked, but had no flavor. Tiny potato cake and grilled zucchini were very good. Valharona chocolate cake was funky.

    We had lunch in the patio. The food was delicious. We shared a beet salad (which even divided looked like a large salad) the had crab cakes and sole. Wonderful. And we could hear each other. What could be better

    We have gone to this restaurant for many years: we were quite in shock with the food that we were served. This used to be a gourmet bistro but it's nothing like that now. Hostess was too talkative, waiter was borderline rude, and the food was similar what you would get from a tourist trap on the Monterey warf. So, so disappointed. Two things did not change: prices (still high) and the nice settings.

    Best restaurant in Carmel. Pricey but first rate. Formerly related to a steak house. Now combined. Very good meats

    Unbelievably great food and service. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant. Kurt Grasing must be one of the best chefs and restaurant owners in the world.

    Grasing's always offers good food and service. I would have provided higher rating but for some reason this time tables were in a very close proximity which made everyone around a bit uncomfortable. Probably as a result of extra tables on the floor we noticed an oversight in our table decor. Hopefully this will be fixed. As a reference point, Anton & Michael offers comfortable space between tables and I don't recall ever being squeezed between tables.

    At $368 (incl.tip) I was a little disappointed. The sea bass was the special and it was a bit rubbery, not great at all. The beet salad would rank a distant 3rd when I compare it to Cella and The Pocket. The person picking up the plates was a bit rough. Overall the service was fine. Food was underwhelming. Not going back for awhile.

    The bread with olives disappointed us. The prawn cocktail was good and shrimp were large. The special was a halibut which was cooked and served perfectly. My wife really enjoed that. I had the Ribeye and it was spectacular. Perfectly cooked topped with the blue cheese butter. The drinks were tasty as were the roasted Brussels sprouts. The two areas for improvement were our server Hadi was not experienced and was so forgetful and slow. Secondly or table was crammed on the side and felt like the two person table was jammed in to add extra seating. Overall we loved the food and will come back.
