Flying Fish Grill

Had the best halibut at this place. So moist and with such a rich flavor. Loved it

We had Flying Fish Grill for dinner. The calamari was (4.7/5.0) super soft and not chewy at all. It paired well with the provided sauce and was super flavorful. Top three from all the calamari we've had. The artichoke (4.5/5.0) was plain and meaty, and came with two dipping sauces. The chips and salsa were homemade. The chips were thin and crunchy. The salsa 4.0/5.0) was a little sweet, which was unique but didn't really mesh with our tastebuds. The seafood clay pot (4.7/5.0) was delicous, well worth it for two people. It's a little hard knowing when things are cooked but everything cooks within minutes given that the slices are thin. The scallops and squid were sooo soft and melted as I ate them. The server was extremely welcoming and told us stories of the restaurant and it's original owners. Our water cups were always refilled and we were offered additional veggies/tofu for our seafood clay pot. The restaurant was located downstairs with no apparent natural light. It was dimly lit and completely made of wood, which helped create a more unique experience.

This is our new favorite date night spot. Feels like unpretentious high end dining right in the carmel plaza. You need reservations in advance but it's worth planning for. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of ingredients. The flavors were complex but each dish tasted like something your grandmother would make; yummy and filling in the best way. Great wine list too. It's a smaller, quieter spot so I would probably go solo or as a couple. The wait staff were very attentive and anticipated our needs without rushing us. If you want to get ripped off, go to fish hopper. If you want to eat like a local, eat here.
