    Not Happy with Mother's Day Dinner, our reservation was at 4pm. All 4 of us wanted Filet mignon for Dinner an none available, are you kidding me , my second time here . We already decided what we we're gonna have because you sent me email of Mother's day menu. My Mom an us we're set on that. Than piano guy played 1 song an was at the bar. What kind of Mother's day Dinner is this. Then you just played Jazz music over your speakers. My Parents have never been there before , I was so excited to take her out on her special day an nothing was special about it. All I can say is total let down. Ended up with something else to eat ,when our heart was set on Filet mignon ,her favorite an ours too. Never again will I do a Holiday dinner for my family at your place of Buissness. Couldn't order from regular menu. Potato Augroton wasn't even done , potatoes were crunchy. Just not happy at all for Mother's day Meal unfortunately. When I Talked all about this place for last 3 weeks to her. Cause first time was our best time. Wasn't fare at all to 4:00 people . Just sad Meal an not happy after we spent over 260.00 .

    Our first time at The Grill at 51. From start to finish my husband and I had a wonderful dinner. The food was very good, the service excellent and the ambiance was so much fun. Tony Boffa was a joy. I would highly recommend this jewel in Port Charlotte.

    Went here to celebrate our anniversary. Reviews we read talked about the food as being excellent and the music entertainment as being good. All were very true, we totally enjoyed the music as we dined on top grade food. I had the salmon served with steamed zucchini and rissoto and my wife had chicken parmesan. We paired it with a Reisling wine from Germany, and had creme brule for dessert.

    We were disappointed - The Grill came as a recommendation from a family member, so we were excited to go. I had the shrimp stuffed grouper, tasted fishy, sides were barely warm. Husband had duck - tasted similar to liver (we have had really good duck ar a different restaurant) also sides were cold. Dessert was nothing special. All for over $150 - wasn’t even close to being worth that.
