    Wonderful wines by the glass choices and a good pour! Food is consistently perfect. Great salad with the crab. Crab perfect too. I love this grille. Everyone is so happy to help insure a good experience. Carol was our server. I think she was our server my last visit too. She’s polite and professional and adds to a happy and relaxing ambiance. Oh! Chef was willing to share how he/she made the squash. And bar was okay with a taste of a wine. Wonderful afternoon. Thank you. Coming back again and again. Member

    Service is excellent. Mahi-mahi tacos and key lime pie are always part of our fare. Consistent. We tour some galleries then take this break. Then continue our tour.

    The food was excellent, I was surprised to see some new items. I spoke to the chef and he informed me he’s making a point of adding new items to the menu .Our meal was great.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambience, & value. We had our lunch on the patio where it was quite comfortable despite the 99 degree-plus temp.., chicen panini and the Salmon BLT were our choices with garlic mushrooms on the side. Our server was exceptional (Becky) and friendly. And ‘yes’ we are members and frequent visitors of ringling.org.

    Last night 5 friends met for dinner at the Ringling Grill. We each ordered different things off their menu full of great choices. Everyone was very happy with their choices. The ambiance was lovely ( really like the remodels !!!), the drinks delicious, and the service was amazing! We will all return to this restaurant many times for great food and good times!
