    This restaurant is one of our favorites! Great service, delicious food, varied specials, and a fabulous cocktail and wine selection. We’ve also had two parties at LaGriglia and they couldn’t have been better!

    My wife and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary this evening at La Griglia. This was our 2nd visit to the restaurant and it was fantastic once again. The food, the service (our server was Theresa L), and the atmosphere were absolutely amazing! We can't wait to get back there again!

    We were greeted and seated immediately. The evening was just wonderful from start to finish. Burrata and heirloom tomatoes, followed by an endive salad for starters. Both appetizers were delicious and beautifully presented. Our next course was a crispy skinned stripped bass entree, prepared to perfection, atop a mound of snow peas and mushrooms. My filet mignon, Pittsburg style, (medium rare) with port wine demi glaze and sliced portabella mushrooms, was also a great choice and cooked exactly as ordered. The service was friendly and competent. The table was crumbed between courses. Our water and wine was poured throughout the evening. We had a perfect evening

    La Griglia is a SUPERB restaurant! A New Jersey treasure! Everything on the menu sounded delicious. I chose a Caesar Salad and the Dover Sole Meunière - my favorite dinner combination. It was excellent . . . especially the Dover Sole - which was very fresh, substantial, and perfectly prepared. The beurre blanc sauce was exquisite. My wife - who is gluten free - had a gluten-free Caesar salad, and the Salmon - which she LOVED! (apparently a new addition to the menu). We each chose a delicious glass of wine, with our waiter's knowledgable assistance. And, by the way, the waiter, Alexis, was one of the finest we have ever had. Absolutely 100% professional, well-informed, and incredibly personable. We enjoyed every moment - and every morsel - of our very special evening!
