    My experience at grassa gramma was top tier and rivaled competition in the area. This restaurant has an excellent atmosphere complemented with an impeccable dining experience. The scenery of the interior definitely makes the restaurant stand out from others in a very unique way. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a romantic evening or for someone looking for an immersive and unique experience

    Great experience and will definitely go again! The lobster bisque was delicious and a must order along with the shrimp scampi. If you love roasted garlic the shrimp scampi comes with a whole bulb of roasted garlic on top which was soooo good spread on the crusty bread that came with it. My husband got the mushroom Alfredo and it was so creamy and good. I got the roasted scallops with risotto, bacon, kale and lobster. I loved the scallops. They were cooked perfectly as well as the risotto. The sauce on the risotto was wonderful. I did not like the kale. It was smoky but almost had a Medicinal taste and I usually love kale, but I did not like the kale in this dish. We got the tiramisu for dessert. It was a good size as the two of us split it. It was just OK. We thought it was dense and dry with no coffee flavor. Our waiter was very attentive, very nice and outgoing. The overall atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful, low lighting and just very relaxing.

    Great food! Great drinks! I think the drinks are too small for the price though. Make them larger and instead of 14 charge 18. Otherwise the drinks we had should be 8.00
