The place has indoor and outdoor seatings which is so lovely. They were really nice and great service. I got something small... during happy hour. I got the Sliced NY Pepper Steak. The steak was really delicious and I really enjoyed the sauce with baconand onions! It paired well with the Cabernet wine ?? Read more
The Grill - review This is a great alternative to Flemings. You’ll love it here if they are fully staffed. The food is really... good and the ambiance is great. You can also sit outdoors for a sunny meal with a breeze. This is an anniversary dinner type ofplace. It’s a place where you have an important meeting. Lots of lawyers hang out here. The prices are such to attract acertain crowd. If you’re looking for exclusivity, it’s your place. Drinks are very strong. Highly recommend the oldfashioned Bread is hard and butter is not softened. Ordered lobster bisque but not much lobster in it, not even one small tail of lobster. It is very tasty and rich. It’s delicious. Crab cake looks awful but tastes amazing. Very poor and lazy plating.No pride was taken in the presentation. Pinot Grigio tastes delicious. Parking - little to none Time to be acknowledgedimmediately Time to be seated - 5 min , very understaffed One group of four gentlemen sat down and then actually left beforeeven getting service because there’s only the bartender helping out everyone in the bar area. Currently 7 customers. Theywould have made 11. Missed opportunity. 145p arrival on a Monday The host got there at 1:51pm Time to take my order 10 minlater Time to get water 10 minutes Time to get drink 13 minutes Time to get appetizer 2:06pm Time to get bread and crab cake2:08 I will return here but only for a special occasion.

4.75 stars Nice place. Good cocktails, bartender was willing to try something new and look up a recipe and give it a shot,... turned out great. Would have given 5 stars for slightly more professional service, a little too casual...maybe that's theambiance (we normally go to The Sea). Need to step up their beer game, more craft beers...plenty of local choices. We will beback. Read more
Hands down best service, best staff and quality food! Seared diver scallops and ribeye were on point!! Not to mention the... drinks! (Old fashioned and Moscow Mule!) will be coming back for Happy Hr! Read more
Let me just start off by saying the steak and lobster that we had was to die for , for steak just melted in your mouth, the... lobster tasted amazing as well. before we had our main meal we tried the steak tartare personally it’s not my favorite ittaste like dog food to me not that I’ve tasted dog food haha LOL but the consistency and look is that of dog food that youbuy at the store that’s the only thing. It was a very nice laid-back kind of vibe the lights were Dimmed. we went afterlunch so there wasn’t a lot of people there and it was during the week too. I’m gonna post some of my favorite pictures thatI took of the place . there is a bathroom of course as they should be. the waiter was really attentive to us and didn’tinterrupt us so much. overall a great experience. I definitely recommend a date night at that place to eat Read more
I normally do not visit San Jose but I had the opportunity to be there this weekend. After looking for different options we... decided to visit The grill, we did not do much of a research but we were happy to find this place. The service was great,everyone since we got there had a positive energy and a welcoming smile. The place was clean. The service was on point, the foodfor to us fast. And they kept checking on us while we were eating. Great place to stop by for sure. Like a said, I normally donot visit San Jose so I am not in touch with pricing but I have be honest and this is a nice place and price comes a long of hownice it is, not a bad thing but you should be aware of that. The menu had a lot more sea food than I anticipated but for somethat could be a good thing. Besides that I would love to stop by and have another meal in this place. Thank you and I will seeyou around! Read more
