Gorgeous restaurant and bar. The food was solid, but not many options for vegetarians/vegans. Service was pretty rough at the bar. Forgot to put in my food, took 40 minutes to get something off the bar bites menu. Pretty good good but very pricy for lack luster service.

The quality and taste of the steaks are no doubt excellent. Love the grilled asparagus.

Although a little pricey, this was another great pick. I chose Crab and Lobster Cake with saffron aioli, herb oil, lemon vinaigrette, fennel salad, apple, and popcorn shoots (starter as a meal), with a side of Roasted Brussels Sprout & Broccolini.

I normally do not visit San Jose but I had the opportunity to be there this weekend. After looking for different options we decided to visit The grill, we did not do much of a research but we were happy to find this place. The service was great, everyone since we got there had a positive energy and a welcoming smile. The place was clean. The service was on point, the food for to us fast. And they kept checking on us while we were eating. Great place to stop by for sure. Like a said, I normally do not visit San Jose so I am not in touch with pricing but I have be honest and this is a nice place and price comes a long of how nice it is, not a bad thing but you should be aware of that. The menu had a lot more sea food than I anticipated but for some that could be a good thing. Besides that I would love to stop by and have another meal in this place. Thank you and I will see you around!

Recently was in town on a business trip. From what I understand the location is wholly based on foot traffic from local events (comedy etc). I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment on a Monday afternoon. Great ambience, good food. Met two very knowledgable and passionate gentlemen who made the experience one that I would call a true 5 star experience.

Went for happy hour. Service was slow, however, (in their defense) they only had one server on and he was also tending bar. He had about 5 tables and made all the drinks. The happy hour prices were reasonable and cocktails were good. The calamari and oysters were also delicious!

4.75 stars Nice place. Good cocktails, bartender was willing to try something new and look up a recipe and give it a shot, turned out great. Would have given 5 stars for slightly more professional service, a little too casual…maybe that’s the ambiance (we normally go to The Sea). Need to step up their beer game, more craft beers…plenty of local choices. We will be back.
