    The food was delicious. They always serve an assortment of bread, olives, olive oil, and butter after you sit down. As an appetizer, iI had a beet salad which was very good. For dinner, I had a rack of lamb which was cooked perfectly. It was served with fingerling potatoes and broccoli rabe. However, I wish I asked for a different vegetable. It was chopped and over cooked. My husband had stuffed oysters and a pasta dish with shrimp. Both dishes were delicious. The server was very accommodating. To our surprise, they brought us a chocolate covered ice cream ball on a plate that read ,”Happy Anniversary.”It was delicious. The prices are high, so be prepared. This is a special restaurant.

    It was a late (9 pm) evening decision, to go out for a light bite, post a Jack and Jill Baby Shower. Where to go to get some healthy fare like salad, oysters, mussels and clams? Aha, La Griglia was the answer. And so we were off. As always we were greeted with big smiles and a “great to see you”. The service and food was spectacular. .Be it a quick bite or a 3 course dinner, choosing La Griglia is always a great choice!

    Food was excellent; service was good. There were additions to the price fixed menu. We were not told there was an additional charge until I asked. It is a good restaurant for a special occasion.
