    First time diner! Food was so delicious. The grilled cheese bites were amazing! Crab cake was tasty and no shells. Pavlova was out of this world. We had a very lively waitress from Belarus who was helpful and very attentive.

    We enjoyed our lunch at The Grill. It was active but still easy to have a conversation. The Server was really nice, and the food was great. Also love the location on the water, with lots of easy parking.

    Wonderful food and very attentive personnel. Pity there wasn’t a water view table as the plastic patio covers were opaque. That’s a shame when you’re a waterfront establishment! A bit noisy but it didn’t hinder conversation.
