    The Grill - review

    This is a great alternative to Flemings. You’ll love it here if they are fully staffed. The food is really good and the ambiance is great. You can also sit outdoors for a sunny meal with a breeze. This is an anniversary dinner type of place. It’s a place where you have an important meeting. Lots of lawyers hang out here. The prices are such to attract a certain crowd. If you’re looking for exclusivity, it’s your place.

    Drinks are very strong. Highly recommend the old fashioned

    Bread is hard and butter is not softened.

    Ordered lobster bisque but not much lobster in it, not even one small tail of lobster. It is very tasty and rich. It’s delicious.

    Crab cake looks awful but tastes amazing. Very poor and lazy plating. No pride was taken in the presentation.

    Pinot Grigio tastes delicious.

    Parking - little to none
    Time to be acknowledged immediately
    Time to be seated - 5 min , very understaffed
    One group of four gentlemen sat down and then actually left before even getting service because there’s only the bartender helping out everyone in the bar area. Currently 7 customers. They would have made 11. Missed opportunity.

    145p arrival on a Monday
    The host got there at 1:51pm
    Time to take my order 10 min later
    Time to get water 10 minutes
    Time to get drink 13 minutes
    Time to get appetizer 2:06pm
    Time to get bread and crab cake 2:08

    I will return here but only for a special occasion.

    4.75 stars Nice place. Good cocktails, bartender was willing to try something new and look up a recipe and give it a shot, turned out great. Would have given 5 stars for slightly more professional service, a little too casual...maybe that's the ambiance (we normally go to The Sea). Need to step up their beer game, more craft beers...plenty of local choices. We will be back.

    Let me just start off by saying the steak and lobster that we had was to die for , for steak just melted in your mouth, the lobster tasted amazing as well. before we had our main meal we tried the steak tartare personally it’s not my favorite it taste like dog food to me not that I’ve tasted dog food haha LOL but the consistency and look is that of dog food that you buy at the store that’s the only thing. It was a very nice laid-back kind of vibe the lights were Dimmed. we went after lunch so there wasn’t a lot of people there and it was during the week too. I’m gonna post some of my favorite pictures that I took of the place . there is a bathroom of course as they should be. the waiter was really attentive to us and didn’t interrupt us so much. overall a great experience. I definitely recommend a date night at that place to eat
