I dined at Grand View on a Tuesday evening with 3 other adults, a baby, and a toddler. We had a…read morecomfortable table that didn't feel crowded and the ambiance was nice. The mountain view outside the windows was gorgeous. Based on the ambiance inside the restaurant, it looked like a more upscale restaurant, which is why I can understand the dress code, but the vibe seemed quite casual. And I was surprised at how kid-friendly it was! There were multiple people there with little children. Our waiter was nice and attentive. For appetizers, we ordered the Trout Rillettes and baby gem salad. The trout was very creamy and the salad was underwhelming for $16... it may look big in the photo because of the angle but it was small and it reminded me more of a wedge salad. For dinner, I had the Seared Salmon with crab fried rice, it was underwhelming for the price, and my husband had the Seared Red Snapper and said it was "too fishy". He didn't finish it. The kids entree, chicken tenders and fries, was a very generous portion and of course, she loved it. Overall, view was amazing, service was good, food was underwhelming for the price.

We made a reservation and specifically requested window seating because the view is the main reason…read morepeople come here. When we arrived, there were multiple open tables right by the windows. I politely asked if we could sit at one of them, and the hostess immediately shut it down, saying those tables were assigned to certain servers. That may be how things work internally, but as a guest, it should not feel like you are being denied something that is clearly available, especially when you made the effort to request it ahead of time. What stood out even more than the refusal was the attitude. There was no warmth, no attempt to accommodate, and no sense of hospitality just a cold, dismissive interaction. First impressions matter, and this one set the tone for the entire experience. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it. My country fried steak was dry and lacked any crispness, like it had been sitting out for a while instead of being freshly prepared. The potatoes had the same issue dry, stale, and not worth the price. Nothing tasted fresh. I will say our server was kind and tried to do a good job, and the view is undeniably beautiful. But a great location cannot carry an experience when the basics hospitality and food quality fall short. At the end of the day, this is not just about one table or one dish. It is about how guests are made to feel. People spend their time and money here expecting a welcoming experience, especially when celebrating moments or simply wanting to enjoy the setting. Being met with indifference and attitude instead of basic courtesy is disappointing. Think twice before booking here. A beautiful view means very little when the hospitality is poor and the food feels neglected. I hope management takes a serious look at how guests are treated from the moment they walk in and asks themselves a simple question: if you were the customer, would this experience feel acceptable?

Strange, but nice experience. We spotted the shaded patio as we walked by on a hot summer day, and…read morethey were just starting live music for the afternoon. We were on the hunt for a cold beverage and a nice place to sit, and this is honestly the only place in town that we found that satisfied our criteria. We walked in and it was a little bit confusing that you were handed a menu, but had to go claim a table and figure out what number table it was, and then come back inside to order, it felt very disjointed. We noticed that it was happy hour, so chose two beverages that were listed, and they were out of one of them. My brother ordered a tap beer, and they never brought it out, we waited quite a while and then he went back inside and got it. It was a little bit confusing, since they had been so adamant to go figure out what table we wanted, and then they never brought out what we ordered. We probably would have ordered several drinks but since it took so long we decided to move on. The (I think) owner was outside, tending to the patio, and enjoying the music. It was a little overbearing, but I think he was just passionate, giving gifts to the children and being hospitable. The best part was the very good live music, and the large water they brought to our table. I also enjoyed the people watching since it's right on the street.

What a fun idea! The ambiance is kind of both chill and yet lively depending on where you're sitting (bar or restaurant). The Alice-in-Wonderland decor, dim lighting and funky eye-opening paintings made it super fun. Our server was very attentive and our meal delicious. The goat cheese balls were a nice appetizer as was the herb crusted baked salmon and the chicken cordon bleu. I wouldn't sleep on their iteration of a "moon pie" either. It is an absolute MUST have! What is beyond WILD and now a bit hilarious is that I was so busy soaking it all in visually that I somehow missed the part about the building being a former morgue. I didn't learn that little fact until half way through my meal. Maybe that explains why none of my photos came out, or why they all came out looking crazy blurred :-/ All of those lost souls still roaming around there? What a concept!

However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.
