  • Spotty
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/30/06
    Very cordial and friendly service, but two mistakes from the kitchen and bar (not what we ordered). Great job on the scalloped potatoes and French fries, and the rack of lamb was excellent. But one of the strip steaks - cooked perfectly - had a truly astonishing volume of gristle and fat, while the other one was a little better quality but medium ...

  • Not so great
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/22/06
    We thought this was a charming little place initially; the ambiance was nice and cozy. However, the food was very bland, no flavor at all. I had the fish special for the day. It was very dry and they served it with plan white rice, so it turned out rather boring. When my fiancé ordered the herb marinated chicken dish, it turned out to be two ...

  • Solid but not spectacular
    By el sid, 04/10/06
    Solid eats. The food was good - not too terribly creative. We started with the Brie appetizer - it was okay, interesting mix of flavors, the spiced pecans were amazing, the rest was just okay.

    I had the NY Strip - a lot of food, probably a 10-12 oz cut, excellent smokey flavor. The cut of beef had a lot of connective tissue so it was very ...

  • Good Food - Service OK
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/06
    Our family is not a big seafood loving family, so that may reflect our review. We found the steaks OK. The appetizers were very good. We had the duck ravioli and roasted garlic with brie. Service was OK, but we really enjoyed the Merlot Bistro across the street a lot more, with a lot more selections on the menu.

  • best steaks in carmel
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/05
    my husband and I were staying in Carmel for our 10th wedding anniversary and the La Playa hotel recommended the Grill. Out of all the restaraunts in Carmel the Grill is a must do. My husbands steak was perfect and I had prawns with an asian style coconut sauce. The casual yet professional attitude of our waiter made us feel right at home.....You must try the Grill

  • Was a special night for us
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/03/05
    My husband and I were in Carmel recently, and went to The Grill because the fireplace was inviting, and the manager was so sweet and warm. She gave us a warm welcome and a great table. The waiter we had was helpful, too. He was very positive about the chef's specials, so we took his advice. I loved my swordfish, it was so gorgeous, and it was ...
