    Once again another great meal at The Grillroom. We enjoyed the crab cake and the G-Burger meals as well as the atmosphere sitting outside on the patio. We LOVE this place.

    Food was slow because they booked a party of 20 in the upstairs area which slowed things down in the kitchen. Waitress was apologetic and accommodating. We had a wonderful time in spite of the slow delivery of our meal.

    We ate there prior to attending Anna in the Tropics at Asolo. It’s convenient to the theatre and food is top notch. This is not our first time there and won’t be our last. Thank you Julia for your service.

    We had a very enjoyable dinner here with a friend. On the recommrenaton of our server, I had the scallops and shrimp polenta. It was excellent.. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos and our guest had a huge club sandwich and soup. All were very satisfied. Setting was pleasant, and while busy, it was easy to hold a conversation.,
