    It may look like a neighborhood bar, but it’s so much more. That was the reaction when we brought our pre-theater group of eight to dinner here. Everyone was impressed by the variety of menu offerings, the presentation of our diverse selections and the savory, flavor-packed entrees we each enjoyed. The lively environment and terrific service rounded out a great experience for everyone. I expect there will be an encore before our next show.

    Knocked my socks off. With Grille in the name, I expected a little more bar, but this is definitely a date night place to go. The bar was nice, but the atmosphere was great for a date. My reservation was delayed a bit and I don't think I've ever met a GM as sincere in their apology or make an attempt to accommodate as much as I had last night. We were offered a spot at the bar to wait until our seats became available, they kept us readily updated on the status of the table (not annoying, just frequent updates). When the table became ready, we didn't feel rushed to move over and were even offered to continue where we were, if preferred. Our waitress after moving over was very personable and checked in often to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and the food. The food was amazing and the prices aren't terrible for a night out either. Overall just a great experience at a new place.

    I cannot say enough how impressed we were with our experience. The food is elevated and precise. The drinks were delicious. The vibe was 100%. The highlight were the servers. They put together an amazing experience with the knowledge, intelligence, and service. I have already gone out of my way to recommend this gem! Cheers to many more.
