    Stayed at the US Grant hotel overnight for a concert nearby so thought we’d have dinner before the show at the hotel. Glad we did. Service was exceptional and the food as well. Breakfast the next day was also great with a nice menu selections.

    We hadn't been to Grant Grill for several years and were delighted to find it as pleasant as ever. Our waiter Samuel was the epitome of classic service, with the back waiter (a tall, friendly though quiet young man who's name I missed) and food runner Chris the perfect assistants. The new CDC Maryann had a moment to come out as well. Everything we had we good. I'd go back for the Oxtail and Sweet Breads that were "extras" on a couple of dishes.

    Phenomenal dining experience. One in our party was vegan, and the chef came out personally to discuss their dietary restrictions. The vegan food (from the amuse bouche through the starter to the main) was delicious and well-considered, every bit as good as the meat options on the menu. The staff went above and beyond and were incredibly respectful of us throughout. The food was superb - this is a special dining experience I’d happily return to San Diego for, exclusively. Thank you to all the staff!!

    Wow! Service like no other ! In addition to our amazing server Sarah there was a whole team ! Water service, bread , apps and w bread all delivered by different and equally lovely servers. The Caesar salad was so good - all house made - dressing , croutons and the plating was so beautiful too. My hubby had the rack of lamb and he loved it. The cocktail were fabulous. We had the Book of Mormon special drink was so delicious- it had a freeze dried pineapple for garnish that was so pretty (& tasty) If you are going to see a show at the Civic center or just want a true “fine dining “ experience this is the place. Thanks Sarah, you made the experience even better with your amazing attention to detail.

    Our dinner at Grant Grill was absolutely incredible! We were in town celebrating a special occasion, and the team at Grant Grill went above and beyond to make it memorable. The thoughtful pre-reservation call to confirm our booking and inquire about our celebration was a lovely touch that set the tone for the evening. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated in a luxurious setting with live music that enhanced the ambiance. The upscale decor exuded opulence, providing a classic and plush atmosphere. Our server, Samuel, was outstanding. He was very attentive, and enthusiastically explained the menu, and we ended up ordering the steelhead and striped bass, both of which were out-of-this-world delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned - we couldn't ask for more. At the end of our meal, we wanted decaf lattes, but they were out of decaf beans. No problem, they whipped up a French pressed coffee that was just as good. We also took Samuel's recommendation for the crème brûlée, and it was very tasty. But what really wowed us was the manager coming over personally to check in on our experience and special requests. The attention to detail, amazing food, and incredible service made us feel truly valued and appreciated as diners. We're usually picky about restaurants, but we couldn't find a single thing to complain about here. Grant Grill offers everything you'd want in a high-end dining experience. Service of this caliber is rare and we really appreciate how well they took care of us. We were very impressed and can't wait to go back!

    The service was slow and inattentive. The food was subpar for any price point. The bread was the highlight of the meal, the cauliflower side was okay. The steak was overcooked, tough and covered in a weird foie gras sauce that competed with any beef flavoring that the steak may have had. The tomato tart side consisted of whole cherry tomatoes plopped into what looked like a pre-made shell. Not a great meal or experience.

Your staff and manager were all very attentive. Your Grill and lounge are fabulous. Saturday night we stopped in the lounge for a few night caps and the gentleman helping us was fantastic too! I hope to stay at your beautiful hotel Next time we are in San Diego!

    Great food. Attentive service. It was a Friday night. Live acoustic guitar entertainment began at 7PM and was wonderful! It's located in a Marriott hotel property that is a part of the Luxury Collection which I understand makes the dinner eligible for Marriott Bonvoy Rewards points even if you are not staying at the hotel. And we were not staying at the hotel. We inquired. The waiter said see the hostess. The Hostess said see the hotel front desk staff. The Hotel front desk staff said, 'Yes, it's eligible for Bonvoy points but that I'd need to do that on the Marriott App. I see no way to do it on the Marriott App and it's not obvious on the Marriott website online either. It's been a bit frustrating.
