- KKentSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGrasing’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.More infoGrasing'sPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carmel•4.7
- DDonVIPDallas - Fort Worth •136 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoCountry French setting creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive and efficient. Menu choices were limited. Loved the roasted corn chowder and crab bisque. The dijon lemon chicken was tasty with the cream sauce, but would have been better using a chicken breast instead of a leg and partial thigh. That would have made it easier to eat and cut with a knife. Toasted bread was served with a delicious pesto sauce on the side. Very nice place for a gathering with friends.More infoPortaBella RestaurantPrice: Expensive• French• Carmel•4.5

- SScottSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 4, 2025Nice family dinner in Carmel. Food was spot on. Little pricey but that’s to be expected in Carmel. Waiter was very polite but he was busy so it took a while between drink refills. Food came out on time and presentation was well done. Pesto chicken pasta dish was excellent.More infoIl Fornaio - CarmelPrice: Moderate• Italian• Carmel•4.5
