    We absolutely love Grand Street. It is a very well run establishment. The food is delicious and good portions for the price. We absolutely love the ambiance—the main dining area is perfect for an elegant quiet meal while the bar area offers natural lighting and a little more casual dining experience. Even further, on a pretty day, the patio is just as lovely. It’s rare you can find all under the same roof. Whatever your preference, Grand Street Cafe has a place for you. Finally, our servers have always been kind and attentive. We love Caleb, the bartender. We have absolutely come to grand street to see him on more than one occasion. Overall 10/10 for us.

    Had another wonderful lunch on the patio. Rick, our server, was friendly and gave us the perfect level of attention. Also appreciated their flexibility when we were almost an hour late due to streetcar problems. The hostess was gracious and accommodating. It’s a great place to eat when visiting the River Market area.
