    Wasn’t clear when we booked that it was a set NYE menu. We made it work, but struggled for options with the teenagers! Most course were around the $70-80 price.

    Wonderful food and atmosphere. We dined on a Sat. night so we were able to experience a jazz trio during dinner and afterwards with a cocktail. Everyone said their food was very good and the portions were the right size. We thought the food was well priced for the area and preparation. Alcoholic drinks were pricey, wine was a touch high but there was an assortment in pricing from $14-$20. Very comfortable bar and lounge area with upholstered chairs. Decor is more upscale which was nice. I would go back.

    Overall dissatisfied with the Christmas Buffet. The though there were no oysters as promised due to a recall, which I can understand, but thats a big draw and justifies the price. We did come near the end, but a lot of the food seemed to be singed from being in the warming trays too long. For the price, the food should have been made in smaller quantities and replaced frequently to remain fresh. The staff was courteous but inattentive to keeping our waters refilled which was frustrating, especially when we are serving ourselves for everything else. Overall, I’d be satisfied if this had been $65-75 dollars but at $125 plus random 3.75% hotel surcharge, tax and tip for a server that did pretty much nothing was underwhelming. I’m sure the restaurant is lovely during regular service, but was unimpressed with the Christmas Buffet.

    How did Grill 21 stay under my radar? So glad my wife found it when doing a Google search for Christmas/Holiday meal for December 25. It ticked all the boxes and we will return.

    Food and service were great. Disappointed we reserved a booth but they did not have one when we arrived. Ended up in bar seating that was less than ideal for a steak dinner.
