Just had a lovely dinner at Trio Grill! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The seafood special was delicious, and the Atlantic salmon was cooked perfectly. The triple cheese mac was rich and comforting, and the mango ice cream was a refreshing way to end the meal. It was a fine dining experience, and we'd happily recommend Trio Grill!

Went with our 10 month old around 4:45pm on a Saturday. It’s very family friendly (lots of other tables with babies) and our server was awesome - turning on the fans when we asked, answering all our questions on the food prep, reporting back and making accommodations with the kitchen for us, checking in regularly. We sat outside which was noisier than inside, but we could still hold a conversation without yelling.
