   First time dining at Destination Grille! We were drawn in due to the location in Grimes as well as the large array of gluten free menu items. The restaurant has a terrific atmosphere and we had terrific service! The food was very good - but a tad spendy. Average price for one diner with burger or small pizza option and pop is $25-$30. We will definitely go back though for occasional dining.

   Another fantastic experience at one of our favorite local restaurants. we celebrated my wife’s birthday with a nice “dressed up” evening out with the kids. Pro tip: Order the off-menu warm cookie cake with ice cream.

    The restaurant was understaffed. We had a 4:45 reservation & got our food around 6:00. The bartender took our dinner order. It also was very cold. Left winter coat on for the entire meal. The food was expensive & a little greasy.

    The quality of thoughtful service and a very pleasant atmosphere, was quite nice- and the sandwiches, salmon and burger were buttery delicious. The only thing that I would mention from a comfort status, was it was a bit cool in there. I left my coat unbuttoned around my shoulders. I also noticed a woman at the bar with a sweater and a scarf around her neck. Though, that didn’t deter how much the place was filling up when we left around 6:30pm.

    Good food. Service was very spotty. They bring hamburgers which are good but don't provide ketchup. Been there twice and neither time was ketchup brought with the meal. Then it takes 10 minutes or more to get the ketchup. Big deal for burger eaters. Had to get up and go find ketchup. Pizza was really good. If service was better they would have sold more drinks.

    Food was excellent, but it took a very long time for just 3 burgers. Our server was fantastic, but it wasn’t busy, so perhaps they were short staffed in the kitchen. One in our group doesn’t eat meat & they had a black bean patty for him. He loved it. Would be great if they can add that to their menu. The mushroom Swiss burger was delicious! Love the truffle fries & aioli too!

    Kennedy was excellent! My chicken parm pasta was amazing, the chili was hearty. My wife enjoyed her pizza (I didn't try it). The only bummer was when I put my chicken on the same plate as the pizza because I wanted to take it home but it wasn't in the to-go container when I got home. DG is a very good establishment to have in Grimes. There's a proliferation of chain eating places and DG represents the best Grimes has to offer.

    My wife was working in California the first time I went to Destination so, last night was her first time. We were so enjoying the people and cocktails we missed our first text saying our table was ready. No problem, they quickly found us another and we sat down to a very enjoyable meal and wine. Overall, one of the best evenings we've had in a long time. We'll be back soon.

    Rooftop terrace bar suppose to open at 3pm. Arrived at 3pm, terrace not open and no staff around. An employee told us they’re short staffed. Finally opened 3:30 staff confused on where we could sit. Directed us to outdoor sofas which were dusty and dirty. Very unpleasant. No wait staff on terrace, it was find a bartender on your own. For a newer restaurant with high prices, they need to manage operations better.

    The bruschetta appetizer was excellent. They have a nice wine list but slightly overpriced for the choices that are there. Service was prompt and courteous, so the server was not knowledgeable about particulars of the meat selections. The prime rib tasted fabulous, But it really wasn’t marbled like you would expect prime meat to be, rather it was chunks of fat as if the animal were overfed. The crust on it was nothing spectacular, and overall it was saved by a very delicious cherry smoke infusion in the flavor of the meat. The menu is quite nice, and I would look forward to eating there again.

    My boyfriend and I made reservations for a Friday date night dinner. We were seated indoors in an area that was like a cafeteria. It was so loud that we could not hear one another talking. Conversation was not an option. There was a table of 10+ people right behind us yelling and hollering the whole time. There were kids to the side of us fighting and screaming and throwing things at one another. Everyone was fighting for space. It felt like an overpriced Chuck E Cheese. The food was mediocre for the $80 we spent. I was terribly disappointed with the ambiance and quality of food. The service was excellent though as our waitress was really great and we enjoyed her a lot.
