I made the reservation a couple of weeks prior and even went to the restaurant to see it. While I was there to scope the restaurant out, the manager showed me a space that was currently being used by another party and told me I could reserve Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705430147943170922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-86089645301274116162014-05-02T19:59:20.635-04:002014-05-02T19:59:20.635-04:00My husband and I have now eaten at The Grille 7 or...My husband and I have now eaten at The Grille 7 or 8 times. I guess we keep hoping that they will work out the kinks and get better. We also like the owners and want them to success. Unfortunately, they need help in basic restaurant techniques - hostess on duty at all times, up to date menu (even if it's printed from a computer daily), review prices and bring them in line with your market Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-45074920509244164202013-11-16T15:30:08.069-05:002013-11-16T15:30:08.069-05:00The new owners have idea on how to run a fine REST...The new owners have idea on how to run a fine RESTAURANT . Was there last night for the soft opening, what a mess. They own a mid price CUBAN food eatery and a bar. They have no notion on fine dining .

I think this is the kind of thing that Fulton/Scaggville people are look for.
