    We have dined at this restaurant several times in the past and have enjoyed the food and overall experience. Unfortunately, our last visit (for my birthday) was subpar at best. I requested a quiet table and was sat in the middle of the restaurant. We were not giving the menu with specials - we had to ask for it. The severer was not very professional and not at all attentive to our needs. It took 15 minutes for our drink order to be delivered, salads came before our appetizers, and we never received our desert. We overheard her telling another table that there were staffing issues that night but not us - therefore not managing our expectations. We never received a thank you for dining with us or an apology for the bad experience. In reference to the food, the salads were overdressed, the appetizer was cold, the vegetables overcooked my wife's risotto undercooked, and my fish dish was not prepared per the menu. On a positive note, the drinks when were great when we finally received them and the orchestra was excellent as well. I hope this experience was an anomaly - otherwise I see The Grill at 1951 having the fate of other restaurants in the are that have closed due to bad food and service.

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for two at the grille. We were seated close to the piano trio and we’re able to chat with him in between songs, and even request our favorites! The food was amazing, including the tomahawk steak, right down to the deer of crème brûlée. We had a birthday balloon, and they even comped my dessert for free! This is our go to place for celebrations.

    Nice experience, food was very good and service timed to allow you to enjoy courses. Only complaint was we waited for check longer than we wanted to, but that is a minor complaint. Overall good experience, we will come back.

    Ambience was nice weight staff was nice entertainment was nice. Food was absolutely horrible, we go out to dinner a lot and I really was hoping this was going to be great. I had shrimp scampi, which came out in a very bland sauce rubbery spaghetti, not linguine and shrimp that were just basically half cooked with zero seasonings. They chopped up fresh parsley and placed it on top of the meal. It covered the entire top and ruined any flavor that the sauce had. Very disappointing like I said I really wanted this restaurant to be good. Chef, please add spices, and you should be grilling your shrimp with spices before putting it on top of your shrimp scampi. My date had the chicken piccata, plenty of capers, but why is the spaghetti so rubbery for the price you pay splurge for some linguine please.

    Date night for me and my husband on Thursday night. We ordered off the Summer special menu and both had fantastic meals. Yvonne was our server, and everything was excellent. Food, timing, service, caring and very friendly. Raffey was a server beside our table area and also came by to check on us and make sure everything was covered, as a friend and coworker. Absolutely we will be back. Thank you for a great experience.

    Our server was very nice and helpful, but she was VERY slow. The time between courses was way too long, at least double what it should been. (The food had definitely been under heat lamps.). The main course arrived the latest, and when we inquired about dessert, she said she would get it right away. I asked her to make it to go, bc the band was now finishing. We got there at 7, and they played until 9. Overall tho, we enjoyed ourselves and the food and the music, and will return in hopes of things moving just a bit better
