Since 1998
In March of 1998 Kurt opened the door to his namesake restaurant: Grasing’s. Kurt revamped Grasing’s in 2010 by constructing a new bar and lounge along with completing a restaurant make-over. The warm hues and contemporary décor in the restaurant and bar give Grasing’s an even more inviting atmosphere, giving it a new look with the same great food and first-rate service to which guests are accustomed. As a restaurant with an impressive contemporary menu, Grasing’s offers the finest coastal cuisine paired with a ‘Wine Spectator’ awarding winning wine list featuring the best California wines. For a true Carmel experience, enjoy dinner on the dog-friendly patio.
