With a unique combination of sophisticated atmosphere, an extensive wine list, and contemporary cuisine with a focus on seafood, La Griglia offers a taste of Italy far from the ordinary.
"It was our first time going to La Griglia and what a first major impression it had made. The people and the service was very friendly and helpful. They took very good care of you, always checking if everything was going accordingly. The food was quite favorable; the cajun calamari was excellent and although the steak was a bit overcooked it was still quite tasty. Price for two people was not that expensive. We will certainly return."

"Great service, wonderful food and wine. We always know that there will be no surprises when we dine at LG. They make us feel like family. I have also had several catered parties (reunions) at LG in the wine cellar room. Everyone who attended the past events raved about the food and service."

"I went with my wife and mother went to La Griglia for Mother's Day. I've been to Water & Wine, their sister restaurant, in the past, but this was my first time at La Griglia. My mother loved the scallops and my wife thought the salmon was one of the best pieces of salmon was extremely good with distinct flavoring. I had the spaghetti with lobster. While it was good, I found the sauce a bit too thin which I felt affected the overall flavor. I would go back, but would try something else."

"The minute you drive into the parking lot both car doors are opened. Then someone opens the restaurant door for. Your table is always ready. The waiter and busboy service is great. We have eten their many, many times and the food is great. I can't wait to return. Marvin I. Katz"

"We have been to this restaurant many times and it is progressively going downhill. We have celebrated birthdays there many times - made note of this occasion on our recent reservation - nothing was acknowledged this time. Why do they bother to ask when taking a reservation? My sister and I ordered the Chicken Milanese which was tasteless and very dry. It tasted like it was cooked the day before and then heated for our orders. My other sister had the filet mignon which was good. The service was fine, but we felt a bit rushed to give our orders to waiter. The atmosphere is dull and dreary - time for a renovation."

"We hadn't been for a long time, but were reminded of how much we had loved it! Our table was ready on time, the staff was friendly and competent. Our group of four all raved about our food, wine and service. I had the burrata, tomato and basil salad which was delicious. Then, I shared the red snapper and short ribs - both incredible: the snapper was tender and sweet while crispy, the short ribs rich and well cooked. The wine that the waiter recommended was excellent. We had a nice table tucked away a bit that we loved. A great evening. Can't wait to return!"

"The food was very good and choices were interesting and well presented. Service was very slow and we constantly had to seek out our waiter from start to finish. The noise level was a bit too high for comfortable conversation."

"Truly excellent in every way. The cocktails, food all with outstanding service. Restaurant is comfortably elegant and offered a fixed price menu that was a feet value. I would definitely go back"

"Always enjoy this place, but we were with another couple and stuck in an area against the wall near the bar which is noisy - hard to converse over the people at a neighboring table. Otherwise excellent as always."

"Overall this restaurant is worth going and returning to. All dishes ordered, including Snapper, Short Ribs, Mixed Seafood/pasta, Caesar Salad, Gnocchi, and desserts were delicious, portions were ample; prices are upscale. Our waiter was attentive, accommodating, and service was excellent...our water glasses were continually refilled without having to ask. The only negative was that the moderate sized restaurant seated several large group tables...with some rude individuals engaging in loud shouting, and table banging disturbances that were out of line and detrimental to the atmosphere in the restaurant; management did nothing to address this unnecessary disturbance and noise level that detracted from the enjoyment of other patrons."

"My visit was for a Friday lunch with a group of work colleagues. Our table all opted for sandwiches, which were wonderful and the portion size was large. The potato salad side was amazing. Sorbets for dessert were refreshing, and again the serving size was large enough to share between 2-3 people. For the price, the portions were generous, food quality was excellent, and service was efficient. My one complaint: when the waiter realized that we were not ordering wines or a muti-course lunch he barely stayed at the table long enough to complete our order. Business lunch on Kenilworth Boulevard should not be served with an attitude. The menu, food and ambiance was enjoyable, and I will give it another try."

"Lots to recommend here pertaining to ambiance and extensive wine list. My husbands steak was cooked perfectly and so were my scallops. However, i only gave the cooking good because the tasteless mixture they included with the scallops was quite bad and left residue on my teeth. Take that away and it was 5 stars!"

"The food and service were very good. It was Valentine's Day and would have been the perfect dinner were it not for patrons at two neighboring tables who were yelling back & forth to each other socializing - very rude. It spoiled the occasion for the surrounding diners. The management should have asked them to keep it down."

"The food was excellant!!1 I had the Potatoe Encrusted Snapper. I didn't eat it all as having the Bannana Bread Pudding was a must. I took the snapper home and put it in the freezer for a few days. I heated it in the toaster oven yesterday and found it to be just as good as when I had it in the restaurant. No fish smell even when heating. That is the mark of really fresh fish. We have our own boat and fish all summer long. I know fresh!!!"

"Had a lovely dinner with my husband. The food was delicious and the servers were very nice. The only thing that struck us as funny was that aside from the waitress, the other servers kept bringing us the wrong food. I don't know if they were new, but they were definitely confused about who ordered what. Other than that, it was very good and we'lll be back!"

"Not our first visit. Valintine's Day was a busy time for this restaurant, but our service and the food prepared was still very high quality. A full menu for this day was also appreciated. Of particular noteworthness was the Ravioli which was the best I have ever tasted. A blend of home made pasta, goat cheese, and shrimp cold not be beat. The tuna tartar was also excellent. Entrees of Grouper and Soupa de fish topped off a great meal. Too full for dessert."

"Four of us went Saturday. Very nice inside, staff welcoming seated in a timely manner. Menu and wine very interesting. Appetizers were generally good, though carpaccio was filet and should be sirloin (tastier). All of our entrees were underwhelming. Friend had steak, was undercooked, no apology. Chicken "Murphy" was just hunks of bland breast meat. Lamb Chop cooked right but not seared or seasoned correctly. For $100/person we expected more."

"The food is always great! The Meatball appetizer is a meal in itself so share it. My husbad and I both had fish. I had the diver scallops and he had the snapper - fantastic. Everything we have ever ordered has always been wonderful."

"Perfect meal from start to finish, and I rarely have that comment for any restaurant. The specials are not to be missed. Each meal arrives perfectly timed and at the correct temperature, even when the dining room is busy. I've never felt rushed here. The waitstaff is top notch and enhances an already outsanding experience. They offer a pre-fixe menu (app/entree/dessert) mid week and it has a great variety to choose from at a fair price. Reservations are suggested as it gets very busy on the weekend. They are closed on Sundays for private parties only. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

"Every time i go i say to myself, i need to come here more often. The balsamic calamari is the best app. It is so different and unexpected!! The service is always great, very attentive, with our being over bearing. Decent wine list, although it needs to venture out of Italy a little more. The crowd is typically businessmen so not much of an atmosphere but a great place to take clients. I had the veal chop milanese and it is out of this world!"
