    My experience at grassa gramma was top tier and rivaled competition in the area. This restaurant has an excellent atmosphere complemented with an impeccable dining experience. The scenery of the interior definitely makes the restaurant stand out from others in a very unique way. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a romantic evening or for someone looking for an immersive and unique experience

    My food was absolutely terrific. I was dining with my spouse and my mother-in-law. I had the filet (it was cooked exactly how I wanted), scallops, asparagus, and butter infused risotto. They gave a rose to my mother-in-law, and it made her night. Honest to God, it was the best food I've eaten this year. I loved it. Thank you for making our Valentines a great experience. We'll be back for sure.

    Food is always awesome! And the service is the best! But we had Kayto take care of us as we celebrated Valentine’s Day early. She was very sweet and timed everything perfect.

    Our first visit was 2/12/2025 - the Westport Village location. My wife and I celebrated Valentines 2 days early. Atmosphere: Intimate and classy. Some complained it was too dark and it absolutely was not. The music was at the perfect level where you could hear it but not overpowering. I wear hearing aids, so I am very sensitive to loud. Food: In the order served: The rolls were buttery and flakey like a croissant and were excellent. The beef tallow candle amongst the rolls was an unexpected and awesome touch. The wedge salad had candied bacon on it, roasted cherry tomatoes and the perfect amount of bleu cheese dressing, another home run. The steaks we ordered were the 7oz. filet. Mine was thick, seasoned perfectly and cooked to my liking which is medium rare. My wife is a well-done weirdo and hers was cooked as she prefers, but still tender and juicy. I had the maple syrup carrots as the side. They had crumbles on top of the them, cut length wise and cooked perfectly. My wife had the baked potato which was HUGE and cooked perfectly. Overall, this was one of the best meals I have EVER had! Service: Outstanding, we tipped 20%. Pricing: Comparable to Stoney River, Jeff Ruby's and the higher end steak places. But Steak & Bourbon is simply a cut above. This will be our special occasion place without question! Thank you all at Westport Village!
