We really enjoyed the food and the restaurant itself is really big, open and modern. We got lamb appetizers and they were delicious as well as mussels in red sauce. Sea bass special also did not disappoint. Our server was very attentive. Upbeat music played in the background and we had a really nice time with out two young kids. We will def be back.

This is our second recent experience at Grasso’s. Everything was wonderful, except for the music. There was a live act at the music was very loud, which made our conversation a little difficult.

Our dinner at The Bryant was excellent, starting with a perfect martini , burrata appetizer and fried calamari with two dipping sauces. My steak frites was cooked and sliced perfectly and the lasagna bolognese was excellent. Service was wonderful and I look forward to my next meal there.
