The staff and managers were very attentive. We booked at 5 right when they opened. I recommend this time slot, we were the first ones in…so staff was plenty, by the time we left every table was full and lively! It was a nice balance.

Outstanding service, excellent menu and thoroughly enjoyable experience. We have been going to the Grill Room for many years and this was one of the best meals yet. Only disappointment was they added a 22% non-discretionary tip to a bill for just two people and I don't not recall seeing it disclosed on the menu. Surprising action for such a high-end established restaurant.

this place is so different, I had a raw brussels sprout salad. You would think that it would taste terrible (as I always get mine fried), but it was actually incredible.
