What User doesn't like about Flaherty's Seafood Grill Oyster Bar:
two words, which will be described this evening — overwhelmingly disappointing. a long-time favorite, the experience this evening was completely disappointment. eating was extremely poorly prepared. crab cakes were tasteless “Köche Spezial” (always chancy) was simply bad. the atmosphere was boring staff not on the running. will give another chance on the basis of formerly wonderful meal times, but must say, flahertys...

this was my first visit to the flaherty 's seafood and oyster bar. I ordered linguine pescatore and it was delicious! it was loaded with seafood and the sauce was great with the right amount of kick. I will be back in any case! View all feedback.

Flaherty’s in Carmel received mixed reviews recently. Some diners were disappointed with the food quality, portion sizes, and service, while others praised the delicious seafood options and attentive staff. Despite some negative experiences, longtime fans still plan to give Flaherty’s another chance based on past positive visits. The menu selection was noted to be extensive for the size of the dining room, and some felt the prices were on the higher side. Overall, the atmosphere was described as cozy but cramped. While there were some letdowns, the cioppino and clam chowder were highlighted as standout dishes worth trying.

We used to come here often, but the last two times have seen a decline in the quality of the food and the service, perhaps due to insufficient staffing.
