    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

    My husband and I so looked forward to eating at Grasings tonight. We have wonderful.memories of meals there for over 20 years. Our evening started with a less than welcoming welcome from the hostess. Felt like we were had somehow insulted her by showing up for our dinner reservation. ( maybe she was having a bad night, but still) Food was fine, but the service and ambience felt like a corporate owned chain restaurant. We remember warm, professional caring service in our previous visits. Supposed to be fine dining, but it felt far from it. Don't know if this is a management problem or a staffing issue, but hoping Grasings will return to its previous fine dining level

    I ordered a $$$ priced Chardonnay and it was served WARM! I mentioned this to the sommelier when tasting and was expecting either (a) for the bottle to served in the 46 degree range or to do something to chill this wine for better tasting and drinkability. All the served did was stuff it in the ice bucket and our entree was served 1 minute later. The wine never was chilled as needed and this was mentioned to both the server and an assistant manager. Nothing was done to rectfiy the situation and we eventually cancelled our next reservation there.

    The food and service was spectacular! Wonderful fish/beef and good portion sizes. It is very expensive but that's Carmel! They ran out of sticky toffee pudding so despite that bummer it was a terrific dining experience.
