    The hostess wasn’t kind and inviting, having never been there before we were confused when she asked us for the password and when was angry and dismissive when we did not have it. Our waitress however was so sweet and attentive and wonderful. She was so lovely and wonderful to talk to. She made the evening wonderful.

    Dinner is consistently good, whenever we've been. Hot and delicious as you'd expect. Service is always friendly, quick and attentive. The fried duck legs are unique and wonderful. Always a must have for dinner!

    Sadly, we waited nearly an hour to be tended to and that was after my husband went up and asked the host about it. The waiters (are lack there of) was the detriment to the evening being ruined. It was my birthday and what was suppose to be a lovely outing, quickly turned into a frustrating situation. Waiting nearly 45+ minutes after our food was picked up before getting the check was also immensely disappointing.

    Grandstaff and Stein was SO MUCH FUN! The food was AMAZING. We had a party of five who ordered lots of appetizers and meals and drinks, they were ALL delicious. Also, our waitress Stephanie was perfect. Her personality set the tone for our evening. The food came out quickly, every need we had was anticipated, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely be recommending this place to everyone we know. Excellent experience!!
