   Service was great but the food and cocktails were very disappointing. For a place that says they are martini focused, the dirty martini was not good. The ribeye steaks had a nice flavor but were so tough that we had to hack at them with our knives and they had quite a bit of unchewable gristle. The Mac and cheese, spiced spinach, and crab dip were all delicious but when you weigh it all together, it would have been better to go to Morton’s or Capital Grill.

   Our sever Corrine was absolutely fantastic. She was so sweet and relatable. Our food, drinks, and everything else was amazing. I will be bringing friends/family back!

    Our experience was pretty disappointing considering how many good reviews we read before going to The Grill. We went at 4:30pm on a Saturday before a show, it was Valentine’s weekend but no where near a normal weekend rush. Our service didn’t start out terrible, just a little slow. Then our food took over 45 mins to come out (main entrees with no appetizers) and when it did it was beyond disappointing. My husband has the rockfish special and it was totally lacking in flavor and dry. My steak was super over cooked- I ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium well. Pretty disappointing for a place that seems to specialize in steak. My husband’s second drink also took over 20 minutes. At this point we never saw our waitress again and my husband has to chase her down to pay the check so we could make our show. So beyond disappointed.
