                Great spot but a little loud. Waiter warmed up to the table. They were short staffed and he was trying to cover. Delicious food. Very accommodating! Will definitely go back!
                Downtown GrilleResponded 1 day ago
                We're so pleased that you enjoyed our food, Susan, and we're happy to hear that our staff was able to cover your table and provide friendly service. Thank you for your feedback on the acoustics. It is an issue we are working on correcting, and we look forward to soon being able to provide you with an even better atmosphere for your dining pleasure.

                The entire experience, from the greeting to the farewell, was exceptional. The GM, Mark, I believe, was extremely courteous and personable, and the wait staff was attentive without being overly intrusive or interruptive of my dining experience. And the Lamb Lion and pickled tomatoes were indeed delightful!

                The food was truly excellent from starters to dessert. The space is very modern. The service was disappointing and not commensurate with the prics. It was very slow to get drinks, had to ask for water refills and remind about outstanding bar drinks several times, dessert menu presented while my wife was still eating her entree, check presented while still eating dessert, etc.

                Ryan, my name is Jon Willis and I am the GM here at the DTG. Thank you so much for giving us a thorough breakdown on your experience. I am sorry I was not able to touch your table the night of your visit so to rectify this sooner. This is completely unacceptable and I would be honored to have you all back in here to provide a much more polished experience with us. If you would be willing, I would like to send you a gift card to be able to do that. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to hitting the mark next time. Thank you
