    Great restaurant!! Great wine list and liquor selection. Meals were excellent, proper temperature and pleasing appearance. My wife was particularly taken with the Caesar salad - finely chopped, chilled and presented in a mold, no dealing with large leaves. Escargot were paired with mushrooms, new to me, were exceptional. Steaks done as requested and served hot. Tomato remoulade very tasty. The peach cobbler was a great finish to our meal. Service was exceptional! Peter, thank you for a pleasant experience. The last time we were at Grill 225, our table was closer to the bar, very noisy. When booking this reservation I requested a table away from the bar area. My request was not only honored, the manager and staff personally inquired whether we were pleased with our location at time of seating and at times though out our meal. Outstanding customer relations.

    Asked for a booth which were nice and private. Was told “No Way”. They sat us in the far corner. Ok no problem. Ordered the Veal Chop medium rare. Came out medium. Sent back. Waited about 20 minutes for another. It was my husbands birthday so when it came to desert his came out very nice on a plate with Happy Birthday written in chocolate syrup and a candle. When the bill came there was no concession for the mistake. You would have at least expected his desert to be comped seen that it was his birthday. We were at this place for over 2 hours just to have dinner and not even an apology. We will not return.

    Food was outstanding. Service was disappointing. As it was Mother’s Day, every mother seated around us was offered a complimentary glass of champagne, except my wife. She certainly didn’t feel very special at this high end restaurant as a result of that treatment. Most disappointing. In addition, we had a reasonable amount of left overs to take home. Rather than placing the left overs in nice sealed/reusable plastic containers like most high end restaurants do these days, our server and this restaurant merely slop your left overs on aluminum foil, crumble up the foil and throw it in a bag…..also disappointing. Would hope we have a better experience assuming there is a next time. 🤨🤔

    Service was excellent , steak and lobster outstanding. The Oysters Rockefeller were awful. It was a very tiny, maybe one inch oyster topped with a mass of frozen spinach with no taste and the Hollandaise sauce had the consistency of a soft scrambled egg. Never saw anything like it and tasteless. The fried green tomatoes tasted like frozen, heavily batter dipped tomatoes thrown into a deep fryer. Did not even eat them. Stick to main entrees and at 16$ each, play it safe with asparagus

    Nice Restaurant and ok service, but it seems to have turned into a tourist spot. The food was good enough, but nothing special for the price…

    It was delish and we really enjoyed our time. The creamed corn was amazing and I love their bread basket with the variety of rolls!

    Typical good steak house ambiance / atmosphere / pricing. Food was a mix—excellent shrimp & grits but veal chop was just ok. Service was excellent but they need to fix their valet parking situation as I had to wait 15+ minutes before the valet showed up to park my car. (He was also doubling as the hotel’s bellhop)
