Grasing's

Went here for the last dinner of our honeymoon, and we have not stopped thinking about it since! Service was phenomenal, with several staff always making sure we had what we needed. They were also ready with drink recommendations, as their drink and wine list is extensive. We ordered the special, A-5 Waygu with truffle fries, the artichoke ravioli, spicy hummus salad, bread and butter, and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was flawless, and we are still thinking about that waygu weeks later. It was worth the $500 we spent on dinner for the two of us. This is an excellent choice if you're looking for an elevated, elegant night out while in Carmel. Note, this place does not have a "kids menu" but we did observe the table next to us being able to order a kids sized pasta, so they're also very flexible and accommodating.

Fantastic atmosphere and excellent food. We shared the bone-in Prime ribeye and it was absolutely amazing. Very impressive wine list for those with Deep Pockets looking for a special bottle. During our visit service was very spotty. We were forgotten after being seated the first time and then proactively found a waiter to help us. Unfortunately after our meal was delivered we never saw that waiter again so we had to track down another waiter so we could pay the bill. I'm sure this is not standard practice and perhaps it was because we were outside at a table with our dog. We do very much appreciate the pet friendly approach. They even brought a bed for our dog to the table when we were seated.

Grazing's in Carmel, California, takes the burger game up a notch with their lunch Charbroil Angus Burger, now enhanced with the smoky crunch of bacon and the creamy goodness of avocado slices. The first bite delivers a symphony of flavors – the rich juiciness of the beef harmoniously melds with the savory kick of bacon and is beautifully complemented by the buttery texture of the avocado. This trio, set against the backdrop of a crisp green salad, strikes an impeccable balance of indulgence, freshness, and flair. A culinary masterpiece in its own right, this burger is a testament to Grazing's commitment to elevate classic dishes. A must-visit for anyone in Carmel, it promises an unforgettable gastronomic journey.

UPDATE 7.22.23: One of our "go-to" restaurants in Carmel, Grasings never fails to disappoint. Our recent trip included another visit to Grasings and my wife and I shared a bottle of Austin Hope Cabernet and an order of Crispy Calamari (comes with toasted leek rings and basil aioli). Wonderful as always. UPDATE 7.23.22: During our most recent Carmel stay, my wife and I enjoyed a nice little brunch at Grasings. Again, we sat on the second floor. The heaters were on and the open-air feel was great. For drinks, I ordered the Mimosa. My wife ordered the Wasabi-Dungeness Crab Bloody Mary which she said was fantastic. The Bloody Mary is expensive at $18, but she said it was worth it. We ordered a couple appetizers that we've enjoyed before and these didn't disappoint: the Crisp Calamari with toasted leeks and basil aioli and the Charcuterie Board. Highly recommended. Nice little place in Carmel, CA. We sat on the second floor and enjoyed brunch with some appetizers and wine. Service was good. Prices a little on the high side, but the food was delicious. The server brought toasted sourdough with an agave glaze (consisted of agave, sea salt and truffle oil). Our appetizers were the petite-sized calamari and toasted leek rings with basil aioli, and the petite-sized charcuterie board. Paired with a couple glasses of Cabernet.

I recently dined at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. From the moment I stepped in, the friendly host greeted me warmly, setting the tone for the rest of the visit. The waitstaff was equally delightful - kind, knowledgeable, always attentive and ready to assist. The food was fantastic - a delightful explosion of flavors in each dish, beautifully presented with evident care and culinary expertise. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place where exceptional service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance come together to create a truly memorable dining experience.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Grasings in Carmel. We did not have a reservation but were able to be immediately seated in the bar, which included full menu service. My friend enjoyed the mussels and I had the carrot ginger coconut milk soup (vegan) as a starter. We split the artichoke and fontina ravioli, as well as a berry crumble a la mode. We paired Cab Franc with dinner and cappuccino with dessert. Attentive and accommodating service in a rustic chic atmosphere. Would return to enjoy additional menu items!
