A Bittersweet Experience My wife and I had reservations at The Grill to celebrate our anniversary — a restaurant we’ve enjoyed many times before. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated, and the evening began on a promising note. Bread and butter were quickly brought out, along with water, and we appreciated the quiet, elegant atmosphere that set the stage for a memorable dinner. Our server greeted us warmly and took our drink orders — cranberry juice and lemonade, as we don’t drink alcohol. At this point, the service was attentive and professional. For our appetizer, we ordered calamari, which arrived hot, crispy, and well-seasoned — a great start. For the main course, my wife ordered the Ribeye steak, medium rare, and I selected the Diamond Seabass (Chilean sea bass). Both dishes were beautifully plated and arrived promptly. However, when my wife cut into her steak, she found it nearly raw, with only a light sear. The green beans accompanying the steak were undercooked and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. Given the $54 price for the steak and $38 for the sea bass, we expected more precise execution. To the server’s credit, she returned soon after to check on our meal. Upon mentioning the undercooked steak, she immediately acknowledged the issue and assured us it would be corrected. A new Ribeye arrived cooked to the correct medium rare, which we appreciated. However, by the time my wife resumed her meal, my sea bass had cooled to room temperature — far from ideal. This detracted from an otherwise flavorful dish. We ended the meal with a lemon bar for dessert, which was bright, tart, and delicious — a nice conclusion. While the service and atmosphere were excellent, the kitchen’s missteps left us underwhelmed on such a special occasion. We’ve had consistently great experiences at The Grill before, making this visit feel especially disappointing. It wasn’t a total letdown, but it certainly didn’t meet the high standard we’ve come to expect. -Charles

They were super accommodating with our large group and they were willing to take us early than our reservation. The server and all the employees were super nice and attentive. Also, to top it off the drinks and the food were delicious.

I took my mom and daughter to the Mother's Day Buffet and it was extremely disappointing. The buffet was visually unappetizing; it was not replenished or refreshed, and there were several nearly empty trays and bowls left out for us to scrape from. The food that was available looked dried out or mushy. When I asked if they could replenish the buffet table, the staff said they were sorry, agreed it ddi not look great, but no. The quality and taste of the food was not good. The buffet set me back $190, the food and experience was awful.

We had the Mother’s Day brunch. The food was decent. The buffet table was very messy and they had enough staff to keep it wiped up. Some of the staff was a bit aloof and not very attentive or presentable. Some of the staff was very friendly. The crab legs, the desserts, and the cocktails were delicious. Paid $160 for two people buffet lunch including tip.

We were told after we sat down that it was a buffet only for $60 a person. It was not advertised anywhere on their website.

This was our first visit to this restaurant since it became The Grill. We had very much enjoyed the restaurant under its previous ownership and weren't sure what to expect with the new one. We were pleasantly surprised. At first we were taken aback at how the limited the menu was, but what we found was that the dishes we selected were very well prepared and delicious. I had the Prawn Alfredo which came with three huge tiger prawns cooked to perfection, and papardelle in a creamy alfredo sauce. The pasta was al dente, just the way I like it. My husband had the Sea Bass which was also perfectly prepared and served on a bed of mashed potatoes. My husband wanted to see if the potatoes could be substituted for the risoto, but there would have been an upcharge for that substitution, so he stuck with the potatoes. The dessert menu was even more limited with only macarons served with ice cream or creme brulee as the two options. We went for the macarons but were told they were out of ice cream and would substitute in a scoop of raspberry sorbet. That was ok with us. The macarons were huge and were very good. There were three of them; we ate two and brought the third one home to enjoy later. The service was excellent; our waiter was very attentive without hovering. We opted for an early seating and were glad we did because the restaurant was relatively quiet which we preferred. Overall, it was a very good dining experience.

Nice dinner, food was good, I thought the Ribeye was on the thin side for the price paid but the flavor was good.
