    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.

    Food was imaginative, of excellent quality and professionally served. Strangely, staff was inclined to remove plates before everyone had finished, and seems surprised when asked otherwise. Noise level was a bit high, hampering conversation. On balance, however, the experience was as good as it was in the past, and we will certainly return.
