I did have high hopes for this place and it was a mediocre in my opinion which some can argue. I ordered Salmon dish and it was a bad idea. it came with extra pasta as a server mentioned which I did not care for at all and didn’t ordered that way, overall dish was Ok. Service was just fine also, nothing outstanding or personable. Host seemed overwhelmed and seating was somewhat chaotic, mind you this isn’t a big restaurant at all. Overall wasn’t impressed at all and most likely won’t be back. Still 3 stars because restaurant was executed in style..

Wish we could give more than 5 Stars. We’ve been visiting this area for decades and have missed coming here. Too bad for us. What an amazing first visit. Through good and bad times, this place has remained. You have to visit to experience why. What a great experience. Thank you all 😉 Seafood Clay Pot for 2…is what’s pictured.

Loved this restaurant. Small and cozy, very fun vibe that makes you feel like you’re somewhere else. The food was very good. The Asian fusion dishes are very well executed. The California Tower and the Black Bean Halibut were outstanding. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good fish dishes in the area.

We loved our evening at Flying Fish Grill. The calamari appetizer was the best calamari I’ve ever had in the US. Utterly fresh, tender, perfectly prepared and served with a spicy aioli. The yin-yan salmon was exceptional, as was the almond crusted sea bass. Favorite dessert: green tea sundae. Service was great – fun and personal. Couldn’t have been a better experience.

Some of the most delicious fish we’ve ever eaten. The service alone is worth going for. Grateful for the personal feeling of welcome our party was given. Don’t skip the dessert.

What a great experience. Wonderful staff, loved the atmosphere, food was everything we hoped for and much more. Hardest thing was deciding what to order. We had 4 people in our party everyone ordered something different and all of the dishes were amazing. Banana split desert was ridiculous, should have ordered a second one after the first, only regret. Won’t forget this place. Thank you for such a good time.

The Seafood Tower was beyond delicious. More like a deconstructed California roll but with fresh Crab! So freaking good!

Their style of salsa and “chips” was a welcome surprise. We had the California Tower, Rare Pepper Ahi, and the Yin Yan Salmon and LOVED all three. The most delicious dinner in Carmel and well worth the price! Can’t wait to come back

Totally a ‘hole-in-the-wall’ type place. All the staff interacted with us and were friendly and funny. Food was great. And like others have said, the ginger salsa they should bottle and sell. A great, not-pretentious choice.
