We happened upon the Valentine’s Day menu which was apparently a smaller version of their regular menu. My husband got the chocolate Manhattan which was not nearly as sweet as he was afraid it would be- it was just a hint of chocolate. Perfect. We shared the fried olives, which are crave worthy. The Valentine’s Day entree was duck in a cherry port reduction with a chive mashed potato cake and spiraled zucchini. The duck was perfect, the sauce was divine. (Potatoes and zucchini are hard to mess up but were delicious. My husband got the steak which arrived perfectly medium rare, as ordered. His sides were asparagus and a potato dish as well. All yummy. We had no room for dessert. If we are in this neck of the woods again, we will definitely come back.

This was a very pleasant surprise. We started our meal with the beet salad and the ceviche and both were amazing !! The ingredients were sooo fresh and the combination of flavors were wonderful. The ceviche had many surprising ingredients, and all went well together. The salad had a slice of toast at the bottom which enhance the flavors. We followed with the Niman Ranch Babette and the red fish and decided to share both, and honestly the stake was prepared to perfection !! The fish was absolutely delish with a crust that sealed the juiciness of the fish. For dessert we had the chocolate cake, and the combination of candied pecans with blackberries, chocolate cake and chocolate muse were just the icing on the cake. We travel quite a bit and have tried mayny places, this place absolutely deserves 5 stars. The ambiance was perfect, no noise and the service was wonderful.

The oysters Rockefeller was outstanding, as was the rest of our dinner. It's a beautifully restored post office originally built in the early 1900's . Eric was our server and he was top notch. Ask for Eric or Hal. Both were great.

Once again the Gruene Door was an exceptional experience. The food was scrumptious. I had the beef tip pasta, very delicious. The meet was tender and the mushrooms gave it a great flavor. For dessert we had the bread pudding which was wonderful. Loved the smooth jazz that played in the background. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. A wonder birthday celebration.

Our server, Steven, was terrific. I ordered the Surf and Turf (6 oz filet and Lobster tail) and my wife ordered the mixed grill which comes with a 4 oz filet. When the food arrived, it appeared that the 2 steaks had been mixed up as the one on my wife's plate was obviously much larger. The 4 oz filet was also overcooked. My lobster tail also seemed to be overcooked. The baked potato was really good, and my wife enjoyed her plate.
