    This was our first time dining here and we were blown away by the service, food, and drinks. Our server, Alex, was very friendly, and knowledgeable on the menu as I have a dairy allergy. He even went to confirm with the kitchen to make sure what I ordered was dairy free. We ordered the bread appetizer and it normally comes with whipped butter, however he went above and beyond by bringing a side of olive oil and balsamic glaze for me to dip the bread in. It was an incredible, and we will definitely be back.

    What a lovely place to dine! We celebrated a family birthday. All 5 of us enjoyed the visit. From the time we checked in, we appreciated so many delightful surprises- the cheerful hostess , the chic but easy going and comfortable ambiance, wonderful creations from the bar, on point wine recommendations, all before dinner was served. The wait staff was so knowledgeable and helpful- our waiter was patient, informed and happy to help us celebrate. The Executive Chefs great attention to detail is obvious. DG's menu includes a nice variety and just enough selections to not be overwhelming with a few unexpected offerings to try. We LOVE that so many of the menu items are locally sourced. When the manager visited our table to check on us, we happily and without hesitation assured him that we were already talking about making a return visit. For a celebratory meal, date night, or just to grab one of their fabulous looking burgers, we look forward to our next Downtown Grille experience.

    Shrimp appetizer was delicious. Pork chop was maybe enough for 2 people. Loved the octopus appetizer as well. And the masonboro oysters were a favorite as well. Service was fantastic.
