    Great service! Don’t love the new presentation of the poke stack - liked the old way! Food was good! Huge portions on the fish and chips!

    We dined at The Grill on Main and enjoyed our meal. We were seated on the patio so we got to view the sunset. Our server was pleasant and helpful and our food came quickly. Our drinks were delicious. We enjoyed the restaurant’s atmosphere- it’s part of a great little area that feels like a beach town. We will be back!

    Food is average and more like "comfort food," but probably okay for the majority of the clientel. Not the best for visitors of the area or someone looking for a better food experience. There are other restaurants in Old Town La Quinta that are better. But The Grill on Main is fine not great.

    Love the place, but there was one thing that I question. When presented with bill on device, I had to decide the tip while the waitress watched. She was very good, and the tip would have been the same regardless, but it was uncomfortable.
