    Excellent overall experience. In assessing the likes and dislikes of our group; different people hold their opinion of likes and dislikes- some like music, some don’t or maybe the volume, whatever. The menu while not voluminous offers a range of great stuff- from cheese to a fantastic rotisserie, fresh bread; if you want chicken and a green salad, you can get that too- in my opinion don’t complain ‘if you can do it better at home’, then don’t go out. Three people, no booze but tea and sparkling water- bread comes with cheese, we got two- a spicy feta and a fried one w pistachios, awesome; fried mushrooms, a cabbage salad and a lemon chicken filo pie- then a leg of lamb dish from the rotisserie and a bowl of potatoes, all fantastic- rounded out w a dark chocolate hardened mousse w hazlenuts and a blackberry and candied hazelnut garnish. $158 w lunch for two tomorrow from leftovers. A++

    We had a wonderful brunch to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. From the spanakopita croissant to inventive egg breakfast dishes to the delicious dips and marvelous honey cake - we will definitely be going back. The ambiance is warm and sophisticated. We had a perfect boozy brunch celebration.

    Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.
