    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.

    This restaurant has been here for decades, but it was our first time coming and it won't be our last. The menu is classic Italian with creative twists. The portions are very generous so come with your appetite. The service is impeccable! Absolutely 5 stars!
