As always, Superior Grill did not disappoint. The food, beverages, and service are great! The atmosphere is lively and upbeat, so it's a bit noisy, but this is to be expected. Prices have risen, which seems to be the case everywhere. Highly recommended.

Good food, good service. Maybe time to change some and expand the menu items. Or maybe we eat there too often (???)

We really enjoyed the rooftop setting. The food was fresh and John our waiter was friendly and provided good service. The only drawback is the parking situation.
