    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.

    Excellent food and service. Warm, caring, and professional staff. Very comfortable dining rooms. It always has interesting specials, and when compared to other fine dining spots in Carmel, it offers very good value. It is our number one choice for special occasions, but it's too good to just leave for special occasions.
