Customer Reviews
The staff at La Griglia were really accommodating and provided excellent service!! We had my mother in law's retirement party here. We booked the wine cellar room in the basement and it was the perfect set up for us. We chose the cocktail party menu which was served buffet style. Everyone was very happy about the food and the service. Jessica was approachable and was very responsive to any of our questions through email and phone. She is in charge of handling the private events/reservations. Tracie, Justin, and Monica were the wait staff during our event. They were all wonderful and attentive the whole entire time. My husband and I were able to get there early to set up the decorations for the party and Tracie and Jessica checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed.
Matt is exactly what you want and need in a bartender. He is extremely passionate about all walks of alcohol. He has a great sense of humor and hospitality. Matt gives you an experience and can recommend drinks based on your palate you didn’t even know about. I like wine so I settled on a glass of Aleramici which was great. But He recommended me this dessert cocktail called the carajillo, which paired very well with the flourless chocolate cake. It was 11/10 if you like sweets like myself.
My husband and I had the best time dining at your institution on Saturday night! Gloria was so warm and AMAZING, Matt was TOP TIER and the food + atmosphere (get the sweet corn ravioli!) matched the team that you have in place. I’ve been in food and beverage all of my life and I can’t remember the last time I had an experience that was like this one. We came to celebrate our 1 month young son and my upcoming birthday and we can’t wait to come back for our anniversary next month! Cheers to 30 years - as first timers, you really made us feel like family.
Griglia is a fantastic spot for both steak and seafood lovers. The steak was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor—and I can't recommend it enough. The raw oysters were fresh and briny, definitely a highlight of the meal. We came here for my younger sister’s birthday party, and the setting was both elegant and welcoming, making it a great place for special occasions. I was really happy with my experience overall. And seriously—get the steak.
Went to this restaurant last week. Had a great time with great atmosphere. The Server, Isaac was genuine and very welcoming. We had some leftovers as the portions were big, but unfortunately, on my fiancee's last bite, she found a WORM that she also unfortunately BIT. I tried to contact the restaurant via their social media to try to address the situation, but they NEVER responded and I doubt they ever will. This is super concerning on their own responsiveness, responsibility, and despite having a great in-person experience. I can never for the life of me recommend this place, or even come back. Sucks because we just moved to the neighborhood, and planned to take family to this place, but now just thinking about this situation makes our stomach hurt. Purely disgusting.
