    La Griglia is authentic in its dining experience. From the bartenders to the servers, our evening there was amazing (as it has been many times before). The food is top notch from the Cajun calamari to the special crab cake recipe. La Griglia is full service with parking attendance and coat checking, it brings elegance to the experience from the very start. Whether dining as a couple or a large group, the staff stays engaged and responsive to customers' needs. Certainly worth taking the trip!

    Amazing! I dined with a party of 7, although we reserved for 8 it was no problem seating us. We sat upstairs where it was a little tight space but you surely forget that when the water is distrubuted as soon as you are seated. Chandler welcomed us almost immediately as our server for the night and apologize for any delay throughout the night because it was just two servers on a busy X-Mas eve night. My partner and I had the Grilled Beef Kabab with the Honey Jerk wings for the starters and it was amazing. The presentation on the kebab was exuberant with the blue fire still managing to engulf the bell peppers and kebab. The wings had a kick but not too spicy, just the way I liked. For our entree we had the lamb chop with jollof and sweet plantains and the Jaimacan chicken and shrimp with sweet plantains. Both dishes were amazing. Chandler stood out by checking on us and bringing my girlfriend and our other guest who were celebrating birthdays together, both cheese cake on the house. Gratuity included makes sense for an establishment like this. They deserve the Gratuity. Being that my lady and I have been here multiple times, Chandler has always managed to be our server each time and remembers us everytime. We look forward to coming back each and every time because of the food and the service. Finally, for drinks, my Lady had the Beach party and I had the Brazilian Kiss. The Brazilian Kiss was soo good, I order more for the table. Overall, amazing experience 4.5 Stars

    Overall I enjoyed my visit. But the drinks were water done and had large chunks of ice. Wish they had a few more food options. Definitely would return for a 2nd visit.
