Friends invited me to the Grill Room for a belated Birthday luncheon. It was fabulous! We were delighted with the selections in the lunch special and our server was lovely. When they mentioned my birthday, she surprised us with beignets and beautifully decorated chocolate covered berries. I heartily recommend the Grill Room as a dining destination.

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!

Food was great and service was fine. Gratuity was already included on the bill (party of 3) and the waitress failed to tell us, so we left a 20% tip on top of the 18% already incorporated into the bill.
