    This was my first time to Grasso's and I absolutely loved it! There was a pianist and a vocalist, and it was a really magical evening watching the performance. The restaurant was dimly lit with beautiful Christmas decor and a really special ambience. There was a waitperson specifically for drinks who made sure everything came out perfect and that you were never without a drink. Our waiter took our order and timed the service perfectly. The kitchen was flexible with some minor changes. Every item I tasted was delicious! there were several other items that I hoped to try next time. I will be going back often!

    Excellent Christmas Eve at The Bryant. From our drinks and appetizers to our entrees and sides, everything was very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant was a few degrees too warm but the pace, service and atmosphere made for a festive evening. Given how chilly it was outside, I'm sure the warmth was welcome to most. I'd recommend coming here for a future Christmas Eve dinner.
