    If you are looking for excellent food and service, La Griglia is definitely the restaurant to consider. I use the word consistency to describe each and every dinner we have experienced. From their signature broiled crab cakes (which are the best around) savory endive salad, burrata and heirloom tomatoes appetizers to amazing Dover sole, beautifully prepared Bronzino, and great beef, pork and chicken options, all the entrees are wonderful. If wine pairing is your thing, their list is considerable and has something for every palate. Great service is La Griglia’s priority. From water and wine glasses tended to, to the crumbing and bussing of tables, the staff shines and works in tandem. We love it here and know you will never go wrong choosing La Griglia as your dining destination.
