    So give Gruene Door a Standing Ovation! Celebrated my parent’s 61st anniversary tonight. The entire experience was more than excellence! We started with the goat cheese tomato bruschetta drizzled with a balsamic reduction served with grilled rustic bread medallions, I had them bring out a little extra balsamic reduction. Other items we had were venison sausage soup, crab cakes, smoked bacon & pea risotto (risotto of the day), a poblano pepper stuffed with black beans, street corn, spinach and squash with a side of blackened shrimp. Dad had a sea bass and lobster tail combo served over mushroom risotto and a side of asparagus. Of course we couldn’t leave without trying the creme brûlée. It may be the best crème brûlée I ever had. Everything was outstanding! We can’t wait to go back! Sabrina, Jo & Jimmy Reeves 2/18/2024

    We had a great Valentines dinner here. Our table was outside in front of the warm fireplace. I don’t even need to wear a jacket. Great service and delicious food!

    Once again the Gruene Door was an exceptional experience. The food was scrumptious. I had the beef tip pasta, very delicious. The meet was tender and the mushrooms gave it a great flavor. For dessert we had the bread pudding which was wonderful. Loved the smooth jazz that played in the background. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. A wonder birthday celebration.

    Robert was our server. Didn’t mention evening specials or his name at first. Didn’t ask if it was a special occasion. Very dry personality. Out of wine on the list. Didn’t ask about soup or salad. Won’t be back.

    We had reservations to celebrate my wife's birthday. We invited another couple to share in the celebration. When we arrived we were greeted immediately and warmly by the hostess who seated us at a great table. The server came out right away and took our drink orders. The drinks arrived and were all spot on! Orders were taken and the food arrived in a very reasonable amount of time, giving us time to chat and enjoy our drinks without feeling rushed. Everyone raved about the quality and presentation of each dish. we didn't do appetizers wanting to save room for the delicious desserts we saw as we passed by another table on the way in. Portions were appropriate and left us feeling like the value was certainly there. The bread pudding and creme brule were excellent and finished off an incredible meal and outstanding evening. We will most certainly be back soon.

    The ribeye steak was one of the best I’ve ever had. It seriously rivaled Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. I look forward to going back again.

    We have eaten there many times - always great service and food. Last night our waiter forgot to place our appetizer order - after about 30 minutes I asked about it- then my husband order chicken piccata and asked for no green beans - but roasted potatoes. Green beans were on his plate and he asked the waiter who said he would get the potatoes. We all had finished eating by the time the potatoes showed up. Very frustrating last night .
