    rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was truly disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the service was inattentive and unwelcoming. Our server was not only slow and dismissive but also outright rude when we politely asked about menu options. It felt like we were an inconvenience rather than valued guests. We waited far too long for basic things like water refills and had to flag someone down just to place our order. When we brought up an issue with the food, the server responded with attitude rather than trying to help or apologize. The lack of professionalism was shocking. Dining out should be enjoyable and relaxing, but this visit left a sour taste in every way. I hope management seriously addresses the service issues here—until then, I won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

    Great service! Don’t love the new presentation of the poke stack - liked the old way! Food was good! Huge portions on the fish and chips!

    We dined at The Grill on Main and enjoyed our meal. We were seated on the patio so we got to view the sunset. Our server was pleasant and helpful and our food came quickly. Our drinks were delicious. We enjoyed the restaurant’s atmosphere- it’s part of a great little area that feels like a beach town. We will be back!
