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!

We went for Dine Greater Palm Springs. The server was not familiar with the program! Service was sparse which is the kindest thing I can say. The food was mediocre at best and the margarita my husband was extremely overpriced. We will not be returning and won't be recommending it to any friends.

Food quality was very disappointing. Pasta and broccolini were cold. Chicken parmigiana was covered in sauce and too much cheese and was also barely room temperature. Only thing tasty was the chicken piccata.

Without fail, I've had great dining and social experiences at The Grill since they opened. Unfortunately, not last night. And I had taken friends after bragging about it. The fish and chips, which (in my opinion) are the best in the Valley, were overcooked and soggy at the same time. The meat in the prime rib dip was dry and gristly. And our Mojitos, which are usually top-notch, were mediocre with black (old), whole mint instead of fresh (green) and muddled. Cardinal sin. The waitress was told about the Mojito but nothing done about it and the second one ordered was no different. When leaving, we mentioned to management that things could have been better and they didn't seem to care. Hoping this isn't a new direction for this place.
