Cute, cozy atmosphere. The food is pretty good and we had good service. We ordered the pork chop and shared a vanilla bean crème brûlèe.The parking lot is small, but there is street parking. I do recommend making a reservation as they get pretty busy.

I had the pork chop and while it was incredibly good the green beans were pretty much raw and the potatoes were very dry. The service was excellent and is the only reason I gave this trip a 4 instead of a 3.

We had a great server. He might have been the manager, not sure. But we were all deep in conversation and realized we'd gotten drinks and water but had been waiting over an hour for our appetizers and entrees. He came over to apologize, that there had been an issue in the kitchen--a keg fell over on him!-- and he gave us free drink refills, and 3 complementary desserts after dinner--18 beignets! Dinner was very, very good. Appreciate how generously he chose to handle the situation. I hope you are OK , kind server, and there are no lasting issues from the keg incident!

Terrible service took 40min to get a chicken sandwich only 4 other ppl inside bartender and waitresses were to busy talking and making jokes had to go ask for the bill. Food had no taste I had the Nashville it was had absolutely no flavor. The pasta was gross and super soft it was cooked way to long. Calamari was mushy not impressed at all. It was so bad that we decided to go eat at the flying goat it was just as bad. I have pics of the pizza it was so thin and burned the manager gave it to us for free. Never again. Get some decent chef might help.

Busy busy busy! We were able to squeeze in at the bar and were glad we choose to stay. From the appetizer (green garbanzo hummus) to main course (the pork special) to the drinks and the efficient, friendly staff this place was a delight. The food was fresh, well presented, complex and delicious. It was busy as all can be but the staff was unflappable and stayed the course without breaking a sweat.

Our waitress was SO nice! My little pregnant butt wasn’t having a good day, but she genuinely made my night. She made me and my husband laugh, we talked about food and how I had a cute baby bump :). She thought it was cute my husband and I were unintentionally matching, she noticed the little things. She even double checked for me to make sure my salmon was fully cooked for my baby….like actually went to the kitchen to check and she was so unbothered by my request. Food was delicious! Not a single complaint. Husband liked his cocktail too. Would honestly go back again just for the hospitality.

Its named a "grill" so s/b casual but when the servers care more about visiting with each other than serving tables in a sparsely populated restaurant then you know you got a problem. Not the first time post covid we've had issues here, however problems never seemed to be related to under staffing - maybe lack of care/professionalism of the staff. Definitely isn't the DRG of yesteryear. Food ok. So, if service poor / food average that means less visits here.

We used to be regulars to DRG until we had a bad interaction with the owner due to them leaving me high and dry on a Sunday morning when I had a reservation (they decided to close and didn't call me), and I told my husband we would never go back. Well, we decided to give it a try again, I just don't know what happened to this place. Sunday morning called to get a reservation, that whole process was weird and unprofessional, and they got my name wrong, even though I spelled it. Server was friendly, but not in anyway attentive. We were served our food and she never came back to check on us. Luckily the food was pretty good, except the biscuits were kind of burned on the bottom. Our coffees were long empty and I needed Jam for my toast. There were only maybe six tables in the whole place! We are just taking this completely out of our rotation. 115 for breakfast for 4 is only acceptable if you can deliver. They don't

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! That was by far the best burger I've ever had and it was cooked exactly the way I wanted. The river city red ale went perfectly! Such a friendly atmosphere and really nice owner! I appreciate you guys and you best believe you will be seeing me down there more

I was honestly so surprised with this place! Cute ambience, we went here prior to going to the nutcracker ballet. I ordered a curry tofu dish but substituted with shrimp (they allowed me which was so cool!) and let me tell you- one of the best dishes I’ve ever had! I ate the whole plate! My husband got the chicken Marsala on potatoes and it was equally delicious (of course I stole a few bites). Drinks were good as well. Delightful experience and we will certainly be back. :)
