    I am gluten free and this was our second time there. Everything is delicious, and I mean that! Sometimes you get gluten free food and it just isn't as tasty, that is NOT the case at DG. The food is amazing and the services is great. I do recommend making a reservation as they get very busy.

    Lobster chowder was awesome! Prime rib cooked as ordered but not much flavor, even the au jus wasn't flavorful. Asiago mashed potatoes delish. Broccoli under cooked. The 6 oz filet was fantastic. Asparagus under cooked. Greens over cooked. Kids cheesburger was good. Wait staff was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Loved the live music especially since it wasn't too loud and we could still carry on a conversation. We'll go back again and try some other items on the menu.

    Their staff is outstanding!!! It seems like every time I make reservations. I need to change them. They are always understanding and make it happen. When we come in and eat, their weight staff is hands-down better than any other restaurant we ever go to. Well done, Destination Grille!
