    La Griglia is authentic in its dining experience. From the bartenders to the servers, our evening there was amazing (as it has been many times before). The food is top notch from the Cajun calamari to the special crab cake recipe. La Griglia is full service with parking attendance and coat checking, it brings elegance to the experience from the very start. Whether dining as a couple or a large group, the staff stays engaged and responsive to customers' needs. Certainly worth taking the trip!

    This was our first visit having heard so much about La Griglia. Granted there were a lot of parties and families celebrating the holidays but we found the service to be lacking. The hostess showed us to our table, left menus but neglected to provide us with a wine list. Wait staff walked past us for 15 minutes before we "flagged down" a waiter who was clearly displeased that we had the audacity to ask for water and menus. We finally "met" our waiter who ended up being very attentive though it was apparent that he was serving too may parties and tables to be attentive given the reputation of the restaurant. The upstairs dining rooms are drab and nothing special. However, once we got beyond this disappointment the food and fare was exceptional and plentiful. I will definitely go back but will look to a ordinary evening not around the holidays. But I will only be seated downstairs which is nicer, warmer and quieter.
