Our server was polite and efficient. She helped with selections. The steak Cobb was excellent and nicely priced. We split it with some to spare. The filet was excellent too.

We ate before a show at the CIBC theater across the street. There’s a nice wine list, good cocktails and a varied menu. The appetizer crab cake is huge! The airline chicken breast, lobster bisque and cauliflower steak were all delicious. The booths in the back are comfortable and quiet and the service was excellent.

I ordered the cauliflower steak and it was delicious. Went far beyond what I expected. The curry sauce was delectable.

Superb service. Perfectly cooked and prepared steaks, appetizer and desert. Pricy, but on par with other high-end steakhouses. Notable: The background music was great. Too many times in my experience has a fine meal at a very nice restaurant been ruined by a horrible choice of background music, obviously done by someone with no taste. (“Duran Duran? Seriously???”) The Grill Room’s music was what I would describe as upbeat instrumental jazz. It fit perfectly with the ambience and put a nice cap on the experience. Nicely done all around.

It would be nice to serve bread or crispies or breadsticks before the meal. The branzino was perfectly cooked to my well done liking. My medium rare filet mignon was beautifully cooked, spiced and served with au jus. Service was excellent and helpful. The 3% service is bothersome!
