We know good seafood, we know how to buy it and we know how to prepare it. Unlike most restaurants (even the best of them) where fish is often a secondary item on the menu. at Flaherty's it's all about seafood.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Flaherty's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar is a charming seafood spot in Carmel Village. Guests rave about the "best Ceasar salad in Carmel" and "awesome food" with a variety of gluten-free options. The fresh oysters, fish and chips, and seafood curry are standout dishes. Friendly staff, especially Rodney, enhance the dining experience. While some reviews mention inconsistent food quality, many patrons find the outdoor seating and welcoming atmosphere delightful.

    Best place in the Monterey Bay for oysters. Terrific cioppino and great seafood pasta plus classic grilled and fried seafood, all served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. It's a small place so be sure to book ahead.

    Very crowded so reservations got us seated late and in the bar area. Had a good server but noise level precluded any conversation.

    Food used to be good, now 1 out of our 5 entrees was ok, the rest were really bad. Sand dabs were dry and over done, Caesar was over dressed, seared ahi was good. Manhattans used the cheap cherries. Then they begged us for good reviews w free cookies. Great location kind waiters but food has gone way downhill

    I love this place! The clam chowder is some of the best in the United States and the service is great. The only reason I don’t give them a perfect score. It’s because they seem to be out as most of their Goodwine all the time.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Robert! We're thrilled that you love our clam chowder and appreciate the great service. Can't wait to have you back for more delicious meals!
