    Hadn't been in a while. Saturday night bday dinner celebration. Sat us next to a curtain. Kinda felt like I was in a funeral parlor. Crab cocktail was not firm kinda mushy so don't know how fresh it was. Hubby ordered venison special and he loved it. I ordered halibut risotto dinner. Asked for lemon and had to add salt. It was ok. Wines very expensive and not worth the price. Overall, it was a nice evening with very good service. Very pricey dining.

    All good only negative was at the end one of my guests ordered a capuchino and it was terrible could t drink it. When the waiter brought it over he stated they were having issues with their machine, but it should be fine. It wasn’t and it should have never been served. We didn’t say anything at the time it was a minor issue at the end of a great lunch.

    Perfect evening! The New Zealand version was delicious and perfectly cooked. Outstanding! The carpaccio was excellent. The service, as always, was outstanding. The servers are all quite knowledgeable and most friendly. The Fiancetto Cabernet from Napa went perfectly. Thank you!

    Nice local spot with quality ingredients and good service. Was shocked that the bar area was so crowded with nowhere to stand while waiting for the table to be ready like 20 minutes after our reservation. Was asked no less than 10 times to move over by staff while walking by. Much improved since last visit, enjoyed the osso buco.

    La Griglia is a true gem in Kenilworth. I grew up in Union, NJ, the adjoining town, over the years there have been restaurants that have come and gone. La Griglia is a real keeper!!! Extensive menu, great portions, etc.
