Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Grill on Main offers a delightful dining experience with "impeccable service" and "great food." Guests rave about the delicious fettuccine Alfredo, prime rib, and "killer" charcuterie. The atmosphere is inviting, although some mention noise levels. The outdoor patio is a favorite, and standout service from staff like Amanda and Jeannine enhances the experience. Despite a few mixed reviews, many patrons express a desire to return.

Great salads! Added blackened salmon 5 stars. Added chicken 4 stars. Normally, it's grilled, seasoned, and placed sliced on top. This time it was chopped and tossed into the salad, good, but not excellent as usual. A great location in downtown LA Quinta with excellent outside seating. Our waiter got everything perfect and was very attentive. We will enjoy it again.

Always excellent food and service. Some of the best cocktails in town. Because of the New Year's Eve crowd, it was a bit noisy. Not typical.

The service was very poor. I was brought the wrong entree and when our wait person finally came back to our table, he just took the food without saying a word and brought the appropriate entree much later. The food was good but I felt like we were just a nuisance to our waiter.

Christmas Eve dinner excellent prime rib. Weather cooperated with patio seating and in central courtyard a great musician. Wonderful atmosphere for the holidays. Wait staff were good but seemed spread thin Website did not advertise a special menu, but it was there!

Didn't get the table choice we selected and service was really slow. For the price we expected better service. Will be our last time there.

We have dined at The Grill quite a lot over the years. Last night (Christmas Eve) the food was somehow the best we could remember. And it’s always good!
