Great food & service in a very nice atmosphere. Not a stuffy or pretensious restaurant. Has live entertainment on the week-ends which is hard to find anywhere. Terrific outside patio! Have eaten here on several occasions, including Sunday brunch, which is simply wonderful! (all you can eat crab claws!!) Will go again & again. More

My husband, I and two friends have gone here a few times and really like the food. We originally went because we bought a groupon, but will continue to return for the good food, wine and great service.

A half hour latter, a different bartender charged me $11.75, for the same drink. A couple of guys came up next to me and ordered a bottle... More

My husband and I went to Grotto for an anniversary dinner. The appetizers of Bruschetta and Crab Cakes were outstanding. I ordered a 9oz. Filet with peppercorn (which was extra of course). The filet was well below average. I think my husband has cooked a better filet on the grill. My husband ordered Italian style pork chops which he thought... More

We dined at the Grotto after seeing several advertisements and offers in the newspaper. We didn't have any personal reviews from other diners, but we tried it anyway. Two in our group had halibut which was good, however of the other two, one had Osso Buco that was really fatty with lots of gristle and the last diner had "forgettable"... More
