    We had a late reservation. The owner visited our table and assured us that we were welcomed to stay past their closing time to allow us to have a very enjoyable experience. Our waiter and other staff service was excellent and the food was delicious.

    The food was good but clearly had limited options for Mother’s Day menu. Very expensive for the amount of food provided.

    I booked through OpenTable via the restaurant website which offered the “seating” option of the Mother’s Day menu or the normal menu, we picked the normal menu. I also confirmed two days prior, just to be sure, as there was nothing we were interested in on the Mother’s Day menu. We arrived about 20 minutes early for a 6 PM reservation, and there were a few other guests but not many. Greeted and seated… then waited… We received water about 10 minutes in, then 10 minutes later our tea and soda order was taken. I asked what was available for the kids, as it was explained there would be a kids' menu available as well for the day, and asked if we could get the standard menu. She said there wasn’t a kids' menu, but they would make them chicken fingers or grilled cheese. She skipped the second part of my question. It wasn’t until we watched three other tables leave due to the menu miscommunication that we understood. Sadly, we decided to stay. The she-crab soup was runny, and the seasoning was overpowering. The green salad was ok; my wife didn’t like her Caesar. Whatever the beef option was, it was not good. The potatoes appeared to be from a box, possibly, and the green beans were definitely in a steamer for far too long. I asked for the Penne and Chicken in a champagne sauce. It was also very runny and tasted like they accidentally poured too much champagne in to make the sauce. The key lime pie was ok. This was more like a bad wedding banquet meal. Gratuity was included, along with a credit card service fee that were only both disclosed at the end on the receipt. It didn’t appear they ran the service fee. Will try again when the normal menu is available and will update accordingly if it’s a better or worse experience/taste.

    Been to Cobalt grill many times. Love this place most visit. Today was not good. Service was horrible. After we were seated we waited nearly 15 min before getting up and approaching the hostess stand to ask if someone could wait on us. Today was a set 4 course menu. One would think this would allow them to focus on a process and pump food out of the kitchen. This was not the case. Food was OK. Service was horrible. Value was terrible. 6 people bill with tip was $ 541.79. Will not be going back anytime soon.

    Disappointing price fixed menu for Mother’s Day, which included small portions. A $65 lunch should not have small portions. Service was very slow. The waitress brought our entrees before the salad and didn’t care, she actually acted annoyed that she had to bring the salads. Then, she never asked if our food was okay. We’ve been eating here for over 20 years, but today may be my last time. Seriously, the piece of chocolate cake was almost 1/2” thick. We brought my mother in law, and I was embarrassed at the food and the service.
