    It was a very aesthetic pleasing, took my husband there it was her first time for his birthday. I was never disappointed a bit pricey but when I’m paying for a quality dining experience, don’t expect it’s not to be when I tell you the service was top notch. The steak was phenomenal, literally melting in your mouth. We had to end the night, their coconut cake. My husband literally closed his eyes on the first bite. That’s all delicious. everything was spectacular service. Our head server was Sonny and His team was great very professional very detail oriented. Will definitely go back

    Michael at the bar took very good care of us while we waited for our table. Garret was perfect in every way. He reviewed items on the menu, options for sides and gave us the best balance of attentiveness and space. It was our son’s birthday and was his first time at Grill 23. It will not be his last.

    We had an amazing experience at Grill 23. One of the best restaurants I have been to. We had a large party of 14 and service was flawless and attentive. Many people had steaks and all mentioned it was one of the best they had. I had the cod which was also excellent. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

    Food and service was very good as always. Ambience was acceptable, though not intimate. As was expected, everything was grossly overpriced
