    The menu is excellent. Really nice choices. We ordered many different things at our table and everybody loved what they had. Our server Monica was excellent! That can certainly make all the difference. She was lovely and attentive. Can’t say enough nice things about her. The food was excellent. I haven’t been there in a long time as I no longer live in that area. But I will make the trip and go back again. It’s worth it! Thank you very much for being so accommodating.

    The broiled crab cake and sautéed soft shell crabs were excellent. The service was friendly and effective. The upstairs room with eight tables was very pleasant.

    First off we were seated upstairs smaller room. We sat next to a noisy table. Let’s start,the service was really top notch, food not so much, I ordered the Ribeye and it tasted like liver for some reason, drinks had a weird after taste. Would I be coming back to La Griglia probably not.

    Great food and thoughtful service. LG is a family favorite, as the staff goes out if it’s way to make us feel welcome and valued as a customer. The menu has great options and really enticing specials and the wine list has something for every palate. Food is consistently on point and the wait staff work in tandem to crumb tables, pour water and wine and make frequent checks to make sure you are enjoying your dinner.
