    A little disappointed this year. Both meals were cold and had to be replaced. We had such a positive experience last year.

    The grill on Main is one of our standard go to places. The drinks were excellent. Our food was good, but we all agreed we’d probably order something different next time. Salmen is always a favorite for me and I wish I had ordered it.

    It was very busy day in old town today, so I booked a table at Grill on Main. We eat here quite often. The staff is usually friendlier and more accommodating. Today they were not. I recognized our server from before, but not the hostess. they both came across as pretty snippy.

    We enjoyed a lovely evening at the Grill on Main. Our waitress provided excellent service, and the food was very fresh and well-prepared. The Fish and Chips and different salads were all delicious! We will definitely be back!

    Food is fresh, with salads and protein add ons that are cooked perfectly! Staff are friendly, helpful, prompt. We love to dine at or in the bar area.

    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.
