I'm giving it 3 stars because the food was good. However, it was our first time there and to see that I was charged $9.75 for 3 sides of BBQ sauce for 3 different ppl is ridiculous! The waiter could've told us that! Also, don't be afraid to ask the price bc 5 shots of tequilla was $190.00. The atmosphere was cool but we was expecting all that, we just ran across the place as we were walking.

This was our 2nd time at The Grill. The first time we were impressed enough to return but the 2nd time around was simply Amazing! From start to finish it was everything we remembered and more!

We met the manager and convinced me and my friend to get food. Great choice, it was excellent, service was immaculate. Swift, professional, friendly. The Tuna bites were amazing and great portion! Deviled eggs? Omg to die for!

With its name, The Grill, you imagine something smoky will treat your tastebuds. Then when you pass by the open kitchen to your table you see and smell the coals waiting for your favorite cut of meat to come join the fire. It smells so delicious and that's as far as your senses will take you. The steak was tasteless, no hint of a grill flavor at all. The twice baked potato was ok but would not suggest it. The wait staff was very good but seemed just a little overwhelmed by all the requests coming from six different people. The atmosphere seemed romantic for couples but there were groups of families as well. Overall it's a causal, moderately expensive dining experience. Side note for here or any restaurant or bar, if you offer espresso martinis invest in an espresso coffee maker. It's not called a cold brew martini. The drink is so popular now, your investment would be returned many times over.

2 stars for the service. The waiter didn't seem like he wanted to help us. Would go around to every other one of his tables and skip ours. It's disappointing.

I've been here twice, before shows at The Anthem. I've been to many other restaurants at the Wharf also. Service was excellent. Food is very good. I had the crab cake which was large and all lump crab. Also had a good Caesar salad (though it only had two TINY anchovies!). The carmelized onion dip was nice also. They have a great selection of gins and make a great martini.

Cream of seafood with pieces of crab meat - you can swim away. Each flavor goes great together. I recommend the crab steak, it has no such taste in any other meat. A salad with lots of ingredients. Large portions and nice views.

Our food was delicious and our server, Anna was fantastic! We can’t say enough good things about Anna’s attention to every detail. We highly recommend The Grill.

I visited at 9pm on a weekday in April 2024 without a reservation.Because it was a large store, there were plenty of seats.The interior of the restaurant was pretty and had a luxurious feel.Outside, in places without a stove, the wind was strong and it was chilly even though it was spring.Blankets were not provided separately in the restaurant.This is a place where you can have a delicious meal while looking at the night view of the river.Looking at the receipt, it seemed like they basically charge a 20% tip for groups of 5 or more.It's not a cheap place.

One of the worst burgers I have ever had at a price actually higher than Five Guys.When you order a burger as "medium" one side should not be charbroiled like a hoxkey puck.

came here with my family to get a nice dinner but was very disappointed especially for an upscale restaurant. took so long for our food (aka it was empty cause it was super early around 4 pm so i don’t know what they were doing in the kitchen) , our waiter never checked on us and disappeared, hostess had to fill our water. eventually food came out but was missing a protein for salad which again waiter never came back to check. Manager finally came and noticed and tried to get it fixed for us. HOWEVER the salad we got had a ROTTEN TOMATO in it!!! so disappointed especially in a restaurant that is supposed to have high standards and is very expensive.

It’s a beautiful restaurant with great location but I must say that it is expensive for the quality of the food. It wasn't fantastic but it was good. The meats are very high priced and it doesn’t come with fries, it’s additional. Good service and for lunch the atmosphere is quiet. I always come back for dessert. Delicious pavlova.

Ribs probably heated in a microwave since cold on one side. Fries served cold. Ribs taste bad.Crispy calamari served with a sauce on don't make them crispy.Got a full refund on the ribs, very much appreciated.
