    Absolutely amazing from the beginning to em! This was only our second time here but the man at the front remembered us and made us feel very welcomed. Our waiter was beyond amazing and attentive. He even heard that we were celebrating the cheerleaders we had with us and gave them a very special surprise at the end. Not to mention the food omg best fillet mignon I have ever had! Highly recommend everything about this place! I wish I knew the staff’s names because they truly made our night amazing! Thank you!!

    Grille 225 gets a 10+ Thank you JB and team for making this a great dinner. We have dined here before and had the same great corner booth which was quiet and romantic. The service, food and ambiance are perfect for a romantic celebration. You exceeded our expectations in all categories. Thank you for a perfect night. If you want to have the best, then dine at Grille 225. JoJo & Vic from NC

    Jimmy our waiter made a bold boast, that his is the best restaurant in Charlestown! He may be right, its certainly one of the best we have visited. The service and food were outstanding, and the restaurant was comfortable. The only annoyance is that after I reserved, they emailed, texted and then called like every day to make sure we were coming, this after taking a credit card and threatening to charge me if we didn't show up. I'm pretty busy and I could have used without that bit of aggravation leading up to the visit.

    This was our first time dining at Grill 225 and with the exception of the banana bread pudding desert, which was outstanding, we were disappointed in our entrees. The filet was not cooked to the ordered temperature and was somewhat tough. The veal was mediocre.
