    It was my son’s 17th birthday! They made us feel extremely special and did a special cake nd candle without us asking. The service was the best restaurant I have been in years and the quickness of ordering and getting the food never felt rushed for us but it was so refreshing to have them be on top of it. Never had to k for a Coca Cola or ginger ale etc they were on it! We will go back for other special occasions. I have always been hesitant as they never have anything for vegans but they went out of their way for the vegan and the vegetarian in our party. Our food, service and meal was wonderful. It would be nice if they found a way to use noise baffles to take in the noise a bit as it as very loud and you can out panels up and this helps take in noise. We had two couples that could barely stand up and she was mad mad and swearing and drunk and hit me in the back of the head as she got up. I decided it would be better for me not to have an altercation with a drunk but she could barely walk out. Other than noise issue and two tables being drunk and way too loud it was a perfect evening

    Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.
