About this restaurant

Lively
Great for craft beers
Good for groups

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.

The oysters on the half shell had quite a few broken shell fragments which detracted from the oysters themselves. I had the paella which was reasonably nice but not really a paella as it was tomato based. My wife had a mixed seafood grill with the fish overdone. Service was attentive but we had to politely request that the front door be closed as it was quite chilly in the evening - hence my rating for the ambience.

We had a wedding to attend in Carmel and several of our family members decided on Flaherty to stop by for a casual meal before heading back to the Bay Area. Three of us arrived when they first opened because we hadn't had breakfast. Then a group of 8 and a group of 4 at 12:30. Food came out in good order and no one had to wait for their dishes. Thank you.
Flaherty's Seafood Grill & Oyster BarResponded on May 13, 2025
We're happy that everything came out in good order for each of your guests; it’s wonderful to know our service met your expectations during such a busy time. Thanks for giving us a try, Linda. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
