    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.

    Overall experience was good. Food was great but one dish did not have a lot of flavor according to my friend (lobster/clam soup). Place was busy, but that is no excuse for our server not to come check on us. We had to ask for her to come back a couple of times. The restroom needed to be cleaned (messy customers, so not your fault). We would like to go back but will want a different server.

    Great experience. Even got to change tables. The new bench seats are kind of low for short people. Service was Great. Special Halibut meal might have been a bit pricey with not a whole lot of sides.

    surprised when the shrimp with my salad came out that it was not cooked thoroughly - when i brought it to their attention they asked for me to give it back to them so they could put it back on the grill to cook longer - i would have expected them to remake the shrimp and not put those back on the grill - health issues etc… had to ask for refill for tea with another server- our waitress was no where to be found - the additional staff and gentlemen that delivered the meals where more attentive than any one else

    Always a favorite restaurant of ours. Probably could not go back there for a period of time.. all four peoples meals were the saltiest food we've ever tasted. Three of the guests could not finish the food. It was so salty waitress was excellent. Still one of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat, but I've never ever tasted that much salt on food there or anywhere
