    Came here from NorCal to celebrate my partner’s birthday on Valentine’s Day and I’m super glad we made a reservation asap. It was packed but the hostess and Brandon took good care of us. Kudos to the ladies working the front and handling the crazy crowd for Valentine’s Day. Experience: Brandon was super patient, fun, and got everything right. He brought out our dessert with the sparklers, which made my partner’s night. The Valentine’s dinner offers right now are pretty good too. Food: We got lil Brgs, which were tiny sliders, and it was delicious. There was garlic bread that came out as well and it was so unique! OMG and the Award Winning Spiced Watermelon was 11/10. Never had a cocktail that fire. Definitely coming back.

    Loved our 2nd year anniversary here. Took my girlfriend out for Valentine’s Day , first time at the restaurant not knowing what to expect. Was greeted warmly and walked to our seats within 3 minutes of arrival. I asked the front desk if they could do a cute decoration on our desert for our anniversary and they did! Expect to spend around 300-400$ if attending for valentines. Have never spent this much on food but it was definitely worth the experience! (Loved the oysters wish there would’ve been 3/4 instead of just2)

    My boyfriend and I came for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and we got a sangria and Old fashioneds which were great!!The food was AMAZING. The Parker house rolls, the mussels, the steaks 🤌🏼 The only negative thing I have to say is that because we had a later reservation (10:00) we felt pretty rushed to order our food, thus feeling rushed to leave. It didn’t negatively affect our experience too much because the food was so bomb but definitely expected a higher level of service (minus the bussers and food runners who were friendly and great).

    Lovely atmosphere and food. Large space means loud noise and difficult to communicate across a table.

    This was our first visit and we had a great date night dinner. We started with some caviar which was nicely presented. After that we had a lobster pasta and a bone-in filet mignon. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our meal. The service was beyond excellent and we were truly welcomed. We cannot wait to return. We highly recommend Greystone for pleasure or business meals, special occasion or just an ordinary night out.
