    Our server Brianna was amazing! She was very attentive and nice. She answered all of our questions and smiled throughout it all. I do think a free dessert to celebrate a birthday would have been a great incentive. Great food and ambiance overall.

    Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.

    Food here is ALWAYS amazing! We've been to this location on multiple occasions and we are never dissatisfied! I usually get the A5 Wagyu cuts of steak, and that in itself is an adventure! The servers are awesome, and if you're there ask for the BEST server they have: Larry. He'll make the experience even more memorable for you and your guests! Must visit in my opinion!
