    Weber Grill was a WOW restaurant. The food was great! Our server, Brian, was exceptional! I go to a lot of restaurants and this WOWed me as soon as I walked in the door. We really liked the panels between the booths. It definitely helped keep the noise down. The food was wonderful. We really enjoyed the Friday night special - it was a great value.

    Greeted with a smile and energy. Having to wait for other party members was no problem. Table was in the the side room. It was not crowded and conversations were subdued. Waitress was patient and amiable. Food was great...one of the better rib eye steaks I've had in awhile. Service was low key. We were visited as just the right times. All in all ? Out-freaking-standing !!!!!
