Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gusto Grill offers a diverse menu with standout dishes like the "best grilled octopus app" and creative cocktails. Guests frequently praise the "top shelf" drinks and "impeccable" service. The atmosphere is lively, though occasionally loud. With special events like music bingo and a generous charity donation program, it's a favorite for many.

    Hello Jennifer! We are very disappointed to see this review as one, we hold our food to a very high standard as well as our Culinary Team which is the same team that has been at Gusto Grill for the past 18 years. We hope you give us another chance.

    Great value and great food not to mention an open environment to dine in and wonderful service. We had the lamb chops, Lemon Chicken and some great apps , the octopus was very good and the clams were even better . everyone loved the dip. Very good selection of beers, bourbon and wines. They also did a great job with the mixed drinks although we did question the pours on the martini's always well below the top of the glass. Definitely will be back.

    The food was good but our waitress didn’t come over to take our drink order for at least 15 minutes which was disappointing. I would definitely go back though as the four of us in our party enjoyed the food.

    Thank for the Review Adrienne, we appreciate your feedback as it only helps us improve service. We look forward to you coming back!

    Another great dining experience at Gusto Grill. Table had Soba Bowl with Chicken, Chicken Parmigiana with Vodka Sauce, and Chicken Milanese. All were fantastic. Server and manager were extremely friendly. Will definitely be back.

    The table was not bussed, we sat there with plates from our appetizers. Many staff walked past and did nothing. food took a while, and burger came out well done not medium rare. I asked for no lettuce & tomato, got that and did not get onion, Menu needs to be changed, I had to ask for another drink.
