    We ate on the lovely patio with our dog. The ambiance was peaceful. The salads were delicious and my husband said the sole and mashed potatoes combination was the best! Wine selection was excellent and tasty. Waiter was charming, attentive and kitchen service was prompt. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the bed proved as well as the chopped steak from the doggie menu!

    We've eaten at Grasings many times, and it has always been delicious until last night. The salad, which we normally love, had a strange dressing, and the sole, which we also normally love was overcooked and served with greens that were almost impossible to chew. Hoping it was just an off night, and that our next dinner will once again be delicious.

    Enjoyed everything there is at Grasings. Every staff member is dedicated to making your experience over-the-top fantastic. Our food was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I honestly feel if the Chef appeared on Beat Bobby Flay, he would definitely beat Chef Flay.
