   This is our second time to Downtown Grill. Took my wife for her birthday. From the moment you are greeted by staff to the time you are seated you can tell the staff has pride in this establishment. The drinks, and they have non-alcoholic THC drinks as options were great. We ordered the octopus salad and shrimp arabiata for appetizers and they were wonderful. For dinner we had the filet and the picanha with sides of grilled carrots and brussel sprouts. I have never had the picanha, I had the filet last time, and I have to say you cannot go wrong with either. For desert we had the creme brûlée and the apple fritter and both were the perfect ending. We then went and had a couple of drinks at the bar where the bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable about their craft and mad us some great drinks while I enjoyed the company of my wife. The pricing for the restaurant is where it should be considering the staff excellence (big shout out to Raffi, hope I spelled it right, as he was so attentive to us all night) and what you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. We will be back soon, I've already requested it for my birthday! Thank you everyone at Downtown Grill for making our night special and wonderful start to my wife's birthday.

   From the moment we stepped up to the host stand to the second we were saying our goodbyes the experience was nothing short of outstanding. You can really tell that everyone who works there cares dearly about the guest and has a passion for what they do! Would give it more stars if I could.

   Went for birthday dinner and everything was really great! We were seated right away and our server(Alex) was perfect. The chicken was delicious and house made sherbet was wonderful. I think Downtown Grille is my new favorite!!

   Fun energetic and great food. Noise level a bit high though for good conversation.

   The main issue was the noise. It was very loud. Food and service were excellent

   Excellent food. Great crab dip, the steak was absolutely delicious. A little on the expensive side for not including any sort of side, but both the ribeye and filet were every bit the size listed on the menu and were cooked exactly as requested. Two in our party ordered seafood dishes as well and thoroughly enjoyed them. You could tell both the seafood and beef was high quality and that the culinary team took pride in the dishes they served. The macaroni and cheese was excellent, and the fries were some of the best I’ve ever had (and all sides were easily shareable among at least four people per side). The cocktail (and mocktails) all received rave reviews from our party, and the wine list was extensive with a good variety for both taste and price range. The service was generally top tier. The entrees did a take a little longer to come out than ideal, but they were apologetic for the wait. Server was very knowledgeable and generous with their time in assisting us. Overall, I intend to go back in the future and feel very comfortable recommending to others.

   A very excellent experience. We were celebrating our anniversary so it was going to be a great time anyway. The food and service was very good. They take the time to explain many things along the way. Chef visited us to help with our visit. Can’t wait to return again.

   My favorite restaurant in WS. Wonderful food, graciously served. Julie took great care of us. She’s very knowledgeable about the menu. Th farmer’s plate I had was just as she described. Two of us had it and literally cleaned our plates. One of us had the meatloaf special which was judged to be fabulous. As always, a pleasure to dine here.
