    My only disappointment was the fish "tuna-like" special. I prefer it more raw and less seared. Also there was an abundance of rice mixture with very little sauce. Otherwise meal was service was nice. Pomegranate martini was outstanding!

    Our server and the staff were FABULOUS! The cucumber martini was excellent! We both ordered the special and it was the last 2 they had and it seemed like it had been sitting under a heat lamp or being held in an oven as it was dry and the plating was not appealing at all! I honestly wish I had asked for something different. The crab stuffing was more red pepper than crab. It was just extremely unappealing on the plate. The dessert was amazing I would go back again but not order the specail

    The food and the service were just right. Bravo servers and chefs. We were seated in "the loft," however, which was insanely loud. There was no indication on OpenTable that there was a less noisy choice. It was our anniversary, which I noted in the special occasion section, but were still seated in the loft. There was no acknowledgement of our anniversary, so why did they ask?

    Love meeting friends in the loft area and enjoying drinks and appetizers the only problem there is the acoustics it can get very loud and very difficult to hear the other person speaking usually unfortunately it’s the men who have deeper voices and carry the sound throughout the room don’t know what you could do about it but it would be greatly appreciate it if it could be toned down even just a little thank you

    First time here for dinner. Took my hubby for bday. I had requested a quiet but roomy table and they did not disappoint. Compared to its sister restaurant Zest (which is excellent), the space feels just a little dated in the indoor space, but the food was on par with Zest and we had a great meal with attentive and professional service. Our fried tomato app with shrimp ceviche was unique and outstanding. My rack of lamb with Moroccan spices and a fruit compote type side was excellently prepared, and my husband’s short rib was awesome with very tasty sides of gourmet mushrooms and spinach and a fried potato ball that I wanted for myself. I had a red blend wine that was fantastic (tooth and nail?) and hubby had a spicy margarita. Very nice meal even if on the spendy side - but all these ingredients are expensive now, and we found it more moderately priced than other fine dining places in the valley, so we were pleased. We would recommend, and also highly recommend Zest, both on weeknights in particular.

    Grille 3501Responded on August 23, 2023

    Thank you for the wonderful review for both Grille 3501 and Zest. We work very hard to ensure everyone enjoys our restaurants as much as the two of you did! We greatly appreciate your business and hope to see you again soon!

    First visit since we are new to the area. Seated on 2nd level above the bar so other areas may be less noisy. Bars looked great and outdoor dining space was nice but small. Service was excellent and little fast that may be our fault for ordering entrees when we placed the starters order. Drink selection was good with some customized drinks that were excellent. We will definitely be going back.

    Jeff, we are extremely happy to hear you enjoyed yourself from start to finish. We do suggest that all of our guests request where they would prefer to be seated.

    Went there for the first time for lunch. The food was delicious and the portions were adequate. It was a little crowded in the hostess area since restrooms and kitchen are all accessed through the same narrow hallway. Other than it's beautiful restaurant and the food was delicious and the presentation was nice. It is a little noisy in the loft dining area, mainly because the ceilings are very high, but the main dining room was closed. I'm sure the noise level is lower if you get seated in the main dining room for dinner.

    Wonderful meal, hard to choose from options on the menu. Had the tuna tartare appetizer which was flavorful and nicely presented, and plenty for sharing. Entrees of mini lobster tails and a flavorful pork dish. Wait staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Overall a great place to eat that never fails to please.
