Beautiful restaurant with a great location on the water. We had a reservation, but ended up sitting at the bar for Happy Hour. Everything we had was wonderful. The favorite 3 things were spicy tuna bites, wedge salad, calamari, and the burger (I know I said 3, but couldn’t narrow it down). Juan, the bartender was amazing. Sooo yummy!

My coworkers and I had walked the wharf to find a spot to eat for dinner while in town and originally thought The Grill would be the place, although we wanted to see if anything else tickled our fancy. We were so glad to eat at The Grill. The food was impeccable and the service was top notch. If you or anyone you know is staying near The Wharf, have at least one dinner here - you will come back for more because I know I will.
