Wonderful food and very attentive personnel. Pity there wasn’t a water view table as the plastic patio covers were opaque. That’s a shame when you’re a waterfront establishment! A bit noisy but it didn’t hinder conversation.

I have never had a bad experience at The Grill. This is why I trusted this place to deliver an amazing experience for my Mother’s 77th birthday. When we arrived, the hostess greeted my Mother with a birthday card. The manager stopped by our table on several occasions to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Lastly and most importantly all our dishes were cooked to perfection!

Some of the best steak on the wharf, at an excellent price when the filet is included in the Sunset Special 3-course meal. Beautiful view from the deck, and everything was excellent.
