   Grillstone is usually a very good experience. The food is always good never anything bad to say about it. Went here for Valentine's most recently. They had DJ, ok makes sense play some fitting music... but this DJ must not have known it was Valentine's Day because songs that were playing and the loudness of it remined me of being in a thumping club, not out for what should be a romantic evneing with ones you love. Had to move our seat to another part of the restaurant to reduce the thumping enough to at least be heard talking loudly across the table. Left with full belly minus any thought of dessert as the headache from the music had us leaving as quickly as we could.

   We really wanted to like GS, and tried hard to...but simply put, we wouldn't go back. Walked in, nobody around to seat us and had to wait 10+ min standing alone even though we had a reservation (and we're few minutes early). Finally bartender seated us, and our waitress was kind and attentive...but that was the highlight of the evening. Drink orders were taken immediately... didn't come for 20-25min. We were having a bet as to whether we'd ever get them. Food was actually ok for the most part, though it took forever to come, and the most memorable part of it was the cost\wait. And the DJ, for whatever reason kept accidentally bumping the volume in the dining area occasionally shocking everyone at tables. Before anybody assumes...no the place was not overflowing with customers, busy night but not over packed - under staffed for sure, though unknown why. Our waitress did do her best, but was basically left apologizing all night...no this review isn't geared towards her, and yes she was still given a good tip. This was just disappointing from beginning to end, but mostly seems due to poor management or other issues that the staff can't just be expected to overcome. However, gotta say....for better food, environment, service, and for same or less price....just go to Applebee's or Chili's. Taking away the nicer looking decor, that's all this is

   Good menu but food was just ok. And the music was very loud and clubbish.

   We love coming here. Food choices are plenty and tasty. Atmosphere is casual, comfortable, and oh so toasty in the winter. The service is always excellent. Keep up the great work!

   Disappointed that sushi is not available on Monday. We didn’t know even though a few of us looked at the menu on the website. That aside we all found good options and enjoyed our meal. Service and the atmosphere is very good. We will be back.

   My wife and I decided to try a new place to eat that was close to home so I made a reservation for the two of us on opentable for 6:30pm Saturday. We arrived on time and were seated right away in the dinning area that was empty .The bar looked almost full .First thing I noticed my cloth napkin had a small stain on it no big deal I Changed it with another next to me .Waitress came over took our order .We ordered a pitcher of sangria and a house salad to start. My wife ordered the short rib dinner and I had the pork chops . Both came out shortly after we had our salad .Both the food and sangria were excellent. I originally wanted a steak but I thought the price was a little high . Seemed like the prices increased from what I seen on there menu online that I checked before coming here.Orverall we had a good experience here. I recommend to try it out for yourself.
