“Starting out with a clarification comment, you are eating inside a nightclub. I can't tell if it still functions that way or it used to be one, but that's the vibe. The photo they have on their page here is actually hilariously a computer generated rendering. The food was fine. Nothing special. The steak was so heavily (over) seasoned it was pretty salty to be honest. Nothing we had would make us come back just for that. Vibe wise, the music was hypersexual R&B and the bar wall was lined with TVs playing sports. Where Grille 55 shines is really the service. Your bill comes with 18% auto gratuity. For that you get to watch the entire wait staff sit at the bar on their phones and blow huge vape clouds into the dining room. I had to stand up and walk over to get my waitress because despite sitting 10 feet from me, she never checked on us once and we had waited at least 5 minutes for the bill.”
“I had the salmon pasta… the pasta could have used some salt but the salmon was perfect. Service was ok, waitress never checked on us after we received our food. Bathroom was a mess… 4 stars all around.”
“Food was nicely presented but not really that tasty. It took over a half hour to get our food. Also, 18% gratuity is automatically added to your tab. Our waitress was terrible...I see why they do that. I'm surprised they have so many excellent reviews, but I know how that works. This is a SPORTS BAR, not an upscale restaurant. 👎”
