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!

Hosted a party of 6 on a busy night at holiday time. Hunter was our server and was simply outstanding, a total pro. Had varied entrees from steak to chicken to fish, all were exceptional. Table was a bit cramped but that's to be expected this time of year. A terrific surprise, had not been before. Already planning our return.

The restaurant is beautiful with a cozy atmosphere. Went there twice and both times everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly and the service is wonderful. The spicy tuna nachos are my favorite. The chips are home made and the best i ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. You wont be disappointed. Enjoy
