This is our favorite goto restaurant. Vibrant atmosphere but not really noisy. Extensive but not expensive menu with great specials. Make sure your waiter/waitress recites the specials, even if you are going to order off the menu. You will go back often.

The menu is great and tons of great options. Great place for a couple or small group. NOT kid friendly, which I'm totally fine with. They always have great specials and a fresh menu.

Definitely busy but didn't wait long with our reservation. Delicious entrées but not as impressed with the appetizers. Will for sure visit again, though it did seem a little overpriced.

As soon we... More

Waitstaff was brusque overall. When my date's meal came out, it was accompanied with the obligatory "these plates are hot." But it left 3rd degree burns when touched a couple minutes later! The staff's reaction was only "I said it was hot" and to relate that the plate itself was cooked in the oven. Well why didn't the chef or... More

Love this little spot. La Grolla is perfect for a wonderful lunch or fabulous dinner. Always great food and service. Make a reservation though, it is a small space, and always very popular.
