Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Downtown Grand

Amazing what’s a hidden gem will be going back in the future

Food was very good! Loved everything we had but especially enjoyed the eggplant parm- delicious. Service was great!

Last night, my fiancé and I had the distinct pleasure of dining at JING, and we were thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the experience, from the impeccable service to the inviting atmosphere and the exceptional food. The restaurant's ambiance is thoughtfully curated, with a harmonious blend of vibrant colors, well-chosen music, and a layout that promotes both comfort and style. It all came together seamlessly, creating an environment that was as delightful as it was engaging. For my entrée, I chose the shrimp honey garlic noodles, which were nothing short of outstanding. The dish featured three or four large tiger prawns that were cooked to perfection, delivering a beautiful balance of flavor and texture. On the side, we sampled the garlic edamame, which, while flavorful, could benefit from a lighter hand with salt. It seemed to have an extra layer of soy sauce, which, in my opinion, detracted from the natural garlic flavor. A more traditional garlic paste, perhaps with fresh, minced garlic and a few chilies, would have enhanced the dish. The purée sauce, while creative, was a bit gritty and could have used more finesse. As for the drinks, we ordered a couple of shots with our meals. While they were pleasant, they leaned more toward sweetness than alcohol-forward, giving the impression of sugary juice rather than a well-balanced cocktail.

We eat here at least once a month. The food is always amazing no matter what we order. The lobster ravioli has a ton of lobster inside and on top. The cocktails are always good and the staff is always extremely friendly. The basket of garlic knots that are given to each table are so incredibly good and such a nice change from just plain bread with olive oil like many Italian restaurants. Also it's in a great location. I highly recommend.

The music over brunch is too loud and club-like. I was expecting different music for Sunday morning. Food was delicious, and the service wonderful.
