The Grille on Congress
The best things in life aren't trendy or flashy. The best things in life are timeless. Comfortable. The grille is that kind of place. Casually urbane and elegant-without a hint of pretension. The kind of place that feels right- the moment you walk in, and each time you come back. Because you will want to come back. The Grille is a classic where you can relax and catch up with friends and family. Enjoy a casual gourmet fare with an emphasis on great steaks and the freshest seafood- and a unique twist with every dish.

"I ordered roasted chciken which was over cooked, the skin was burtn (and it tasted burnt) and the meat was very dried. I had to ripped off the bone and put in in my salad to moisten it with the salad dressing. MY husband had chicken marsela which was good but not for the price. The biscuits, however, were to die for."

"Had always wanted to eat at the Grille (since it opened) and not in our area - so hadn't done until this
past weekend with a visitng friend...the restaurant is "nice" - but dated...and was surprised at the
booth near the kitchen that the owner wanted to place us...while we did request another table...and
were re-seated...thought this was off to a bad start.

"We had a 6:15 PM reservation. I had requested a table for 4 in the back room. It was not available. The first table we were shown was unacceptable. It was the first table for 4 in the front where everyone entering the restaurant would pass by. I usually ask for a booth but one of our friends who we were with is a big man and needs to sit at a table. I personally prefer a booth and will ask for one the next time I come. I have a phobia about sitting at any table since I do not like people walking in back of me. I told the waitress (Laurie) about my dissatisfaction with the table and I must say she went out of her way to compensate by offering us excellent service. I would ask for her next time. The food was excellent."

"I have been to The Grille on Congress many times during the past 10 or so years, and have always found the quality of the food, presentation and service to be above average. My last visit was no exception. Portions are more than adequate to match the good quality and taste. And of course, there are the famous biscuits - of which you cannot eat just one. A very comfortable restaurant with very good food and ambiance."
