We booked for 7:15pm (we were able to be sat approx. 20 min early, so great!) We shared our favorite, Sandy Ridge Deviled Eggs (delicious!). Always love the Kennett Square Mushroom Soup too! Entrees we devoured: Sticky Asian Pork Ribs and Rainbow Trout. Dessert: Maple Caramel Stuffed Cheesecake (scrumptious!) Beverage: Cider Sangria and a Red blend wine....the service great and staff welcoming! It gets a little chilly by the front lobby/door (if seated at high tops or bar near the front, but overall welcoming!)

Our server, Mike was extremely adept at the menu and wine and spirit pairings. We very much enjoyed our spirit pre-dinner cocktails recommended after asking our preferred tastes. The appetizers we selected were a mushroom dumpling and grilled shrimp over a bed of white beans; both were delicious and presented beautifully. We both had short rib ragu with house made pasta and black vinegar. Delicious large portions paired well with the Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvingon which Mike suggested. This was our first visit and we plan to return.

I took my husband for his birthday dinner here on a Saturday night, and it was a fabulous experience! The food, cocktails, ambiance, and service were all incredible! Our server was so friendly and helpful. I wanted to order the salmon, since the menu said it was grilled, but the minute our server told me it was a cold salad, I didn’t want it since it was cold. That was really, really helpful and he try much appreciated! I ordered the scallop pasta with shrimp added (another great suggestion from our server!), and it was amazing. The menu should probably be updated to mention that the salmon is served cold. My husband’s filet might have been the best he’s ever had. And the dessert cocktails in particular are a wonderful addition to the menu. The Dubai chocolate martini was phenomenal! We definitely recommend The Grille, and we would return!
