Everyone’s meals were delicious. Our server Aron took great care of us. We were indoors and acoustics aren’t great, had to talk loudly and add to the din! But we always enjoy The Grill.

Every thing was lovely. But the noise level was over the top and in NOT a good way. My 4 some dinner companions also remarked how loud it was.

I appreciated the tacos could be modified to corn tortillas to accommodate my gluten free diet. They were tasty. The weather was a bit cool so I was sorry to miss their patio seating which I enjoy. The service was generally very good but seemed a little understaffed as it got very busy and the restaurant filled up.

The waiter was excellent but the food and drink preparation were slow. The quality of the food (salads, salmon, and seafood cioppino) were excellent. The prime rib was substantial but somewhat overdone. All in all an excellent dinner and a good time.

Drinks were good. Would have liked some bread for table. Roast beef special was not the right temperature (too cold), which makes me think it was sitting too long. Accompanying baked potato also not correct temperature. Meatloaf fair. We were sadly disappointed.
