   I had the pleasure of dining at Grant Grill in San Diego, and the experience was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Samuel. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. Samuel’s knowledge of the menu was impressive—he provided thoughtful recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. Our wine was perfectly paired and he ensured that each course arrived at just the right time. What stood out the most was his ability to balance professionalism with warmth, making us feel truly welcomed. It’s rare to find a server who combines efficiency, attentiveness, and a personal touch so seamlessly. Samuel exemplifies top-tier hospitality, and I highly recommend requesting him for an outstanding dining experience at Grant Grill! Thank you, Samuel, for making our meal memorable—we’ll definitely be back!

   A delightful experience for a pre-theater dinner beginning with a warm and cheerful greeting from the hostess upon arrival. What prevented this from being a full five star review was that we were seated at a table in the rear corner of the restaurant which had so little room between the table and the two long banquette seats that only two skeletons would have been comfortable seated there. Fortunately we were able to borrow an unused chair from another table and change the seating arrangement but otherwise it would have been impossibly uncomfortable for two normal sized people to enjoy a meal there. Our server seemed to indicate that this was not an uncommon problem with this particular table so perhaps the restaurant should rethink the seating in that corner and place a small round table and two chairs there instead.

   Wonderful attentive staff that ensured we got through dinner in time for the show we were attending nearby. Fun, show-inspired cocktail menu and a lovely starter menu. I'm not sure if it was just me, but something was lacking from the entree list -- nothing looked particularly appealing to me even though many proteins were presented. Wished it was possible to have some of the starters in entree portions. They probably would've accommodated that request but I didn't want to put them out when we were on a time schedule. What I had was good but nothing spectacular.

   We make reservations at the Grill anytime we’re down town and have never been disappointed. Menu is always inventive. Food is cooked to perfection. Service is nothing short of spectacular.

   We went to the Grant Grill because we had tickets to San Diego Civic Theater. The best part of the entire experience was being able to leave our car at the valet during the show. It seemed like the keystone cops were working that night. The waiter forgot to ask my daughter if she wanted anything to drink so we had to call him back over. I have never heard so many dropped utensils and broken glasses while we were dining. The wait staff was poorly trained and clumsy - one server tripped into the back of one of our chairs. They brought my husband’s salad (he was the only one who ordered a first course) then brought out our entrees half way through him eating his salad. The woman serving the food set it down and said “thank you,” which seemed strange. The food was mediocre- I had the duck and it was tough and cold. They did get us out before the show and as I said, you can leave your car there (although it costs extra).

   The food is pricey and the drinks cost more but Jose is fantastic and has a great team supporting him. Jose consistently provides great service.

    Great location to go before a show. We haven’t been for a while and prices have gone up, especially for a bottle of wine, only a few slightly under $100. The salmon was average. The duck was too rare, and the waiter never came around to ask how our dinner was so just ate the outside which was cooked enough
