We had dinner reservations for four, we were promptly greeted and seated. Water was brought right away and server took our drink orders. Drinks were served quickly and the server asked us if we wanted to enjoy our drinks for a while or order. She informed us of the specials before leaving. I ordered the crusted sole it was perfect. The whole evening was very enjoyable, we will be back.

The only criticism at all, is that the noise level is very high, much due to the hard walls and tile floors. One of our favorite restaurants none the less

One of the worst salads ever. They did this to me once before. Like someone else sent salad back and they gave it to us. Only good thing ever there is great fish and chips.

The food was outstanding. I had chicken and sausage over GF pasta and my husband had the meatloaf. The service was also outstanding. The table was a bit small, however, for 4 people. The bar looked very nice also. I’ll definitely return!

Our 4th visit to the Grill. We were shocked this time. I had a Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was great, very moist and tasty - but the salad.....I must say I am a Caesar snob....and this was NOT a Caesar salad. It was drenched in oil, and definitely not a Caesar dressing. Could not eat it, but ate the salmon. Was served literally a HALF a glass of Chardonnay. I get short pours that some of the restaurants do now, but this was less than half a pretty small glass. Not happy. Husband had fish and chips and would only say it was "fair, not great at all, but he ate it as he was hungry." Adult daughter had the special of pasta and sole with lemon caper sauce. The fish was excellent, pasta ok, broccolini very nice, and she loved her peach drop drink. The cauliflower appetizer was decent. Lastly, it was SO incredibly noisy in their (about 6pm on a Friday) we were literally yelling. Just such an unpleasant experience, I'm sorry to say we will not go back to this restaurant. So disappointed, as we really enjoy going down to the LQ Main Street restaurants regularly. I should mention...our server, Heather, was excellent....upbeat and attentive.

We enjoy neighborhood eateries and have more than five within walking distance of our home. For variety sake we tried The Grill on Main for the first time in three years and were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted promptly and led to a comfortable table well distanced from others. The menu was broad and varied with many tasty options. Starting with a cocktail (martini up and dry) well prepared we ordered the caeser salad with steak and an order of ribs. Both were delicious and generous portions required two boxes to take home. The prices are fair and affordable. We'll be back.

We made reservations and when we got there we were seated in the bar because there were no tables available. The bar was VERY noisy and we couldn't talk or visit with our guests. We asked to be moved to a table in the dining area when one became available and they were very accommodating. The food was very good and the evening turned out to be nice. But the noise level was even high in the dining areda.

Service was a little slow compared to all the other times we ate there. Not normal to wait 10 minutes for the waiter/waitress to say hello. Also took that long to get some water poured. It did improve as time went on.

Grill on Main was excellent in all categories... First, and most importantly, the food was excellent. From appetizer to salad to main course ... all very flavorful. Next, excellent friendly staff, provided excellent, timely service. The menu may not be large, but provides good options, regardless of the size of your appetite. Would highly recommend Grill on Main.

The restaurant was not busy and you could tell the staff was ready to go home. Even though we made a reservation the music was off and the floor was full of crumbs. We had good service but the short ribs tacos were awful. The Caesar salad was overdressed. My husband said the swordfish he ordered was fine but served with too much sauce. We enjoyed our margaritas from the cocktail list though!
