    Focaccia
    Rich R.

    This place is a great option if you want to try a little bit of everything. Definitely recommend the lobster wonton, that's bomb! The focaccia was good but there are better options definitely. Their grits were also bomb. The chili rellenos was excellent. Every thing came out as it was ready so it was all hot and fresh. Great service and no complaints!

    Global Grill is a must when you are in Pensacola. The food is delicious and so creative! The staff is always so professional and on point. We go here so often and they never miss! Try all the tapas and their specials! The ambiance is cute and not too loud.

    I'm super glad this restaurant isn't claimed on Yelp. I wouldn't want an owner or manager or anyone to see this review. It brings me great shame to not support this long-standing stalwart, fine-dining restaurant in my home town. But after trying amazing food in bigger cities, and even just-as-amazing food in Pensacola, the Global Grill has got to be better. Everything about the ambiance and the service was perfect, actually. A beautiful dining room with a classy-looking bar and giant windows looking out at the hustle and bustle of Palafox Street, particularly beautiful when it's all dressed up for the holidays. And the server was on point. Our glasses were never empty, and he was quick to make realistic and good recommendations on what we should order. No issues here. Now for the food. We looked at the entrees they offered, and decided to order just a bunch of their hot tapas, two off their regular menu, and two specials they were having that night. Lamb Lollipops (Israeli Couscous & Sun Dried Tomato Jus). The flavor here was very good, but the cuts of the lamb were everywhere, very irregular. And the sides of the chops were seared to an overcooked degree, hiding the beautiful medium rare they are probably supposed to be. Pork Tenderloin Medallions (Espresso & Chili-Rubbed, Chorizo Gravy, Apple Chutney). Again, very good flavor. Love the espresso/chorizo combo. But many, these poor little medallions were killed and turned basically into pork jerky. Super sad. Another one we had was a scallop special they were running, with a cream sauce and some noodles. The chef must have been frustrated with how many things he was killing, so these scallops were actually undercooked. I've never seen that in all my days. Now actually, the crispy fried red snapper special we got was really good. It was served with some sorts of rice and creamed spinach. And it was super delicious. Actually cooked very well, and I loved the spinach/rice combo. It felt very homemade, but still elevated. Then it was time for dessert! Gooey Centered Spanish Chocolate Cake (Housemade Basil Ice Cream, Pecans). I loved the sweetness of the cake and how it played well with the basil ice cream. I know the cake was supposed to have a gooey center, but dang, could it at least look like a cake and not a smattering of racoon dung? Anyway, as hard as this review was to write, I had to tell the truth. Global Grill was one of the pioneers of fine dining in Pensacola, but the lack of attention to details in the kitchen has certainly lost them a customer here, Especially with two amazing amazing restaurants less than three blocks from them. So sorry, Global Grill. Rest in peace, my old friend.

    The best food I had in a while. I had a small salad with some grilled shrimp, my fiance had the steak and we had the creme brulee for dessert. I really want to emphasize how good the creme brulee was. I have dreams about it. The crust was so nice and burnt and the custard was perfection. We unfortunately don't live in town, but next time we're here we will be back.

    I met the manager (Frisbee--excuse me if I got that wrong!) during a night out, and he had such great things to say about the food that we made a reservation on the spot. I'm so glad we did -- the food absolutely did not disappoint, and neither did the service. The drinks were made perfectly, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I'd definitely love to come back if I'm ever in the area again!

    Global Grill did not disappoint! The wife and I along with friends (total of 6) enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Reservation for 530, we arrived several minutes early and were seated immediately. Our waitress, Samantha, was very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Throughout the table, we ordered NY Strip Steak with mashed potatoes and veggies x3, Filet Mingon with mashed potatoes and veggies, Sesame Tuna with mash potatoes and asparagus with a tempura crust, Lobster Wontons and Chile Rellenos. We finished off with Carrot Cake, NY Style Cheesecake, and Gooey Center Spanish Chocolate Cake. A very enjoyable evening with great food and friends. I forgot to take pictures of everyone meals; however, I was able to find most through yelp and IG. The picture is identical to our entrees. Enjoy!

    Pros: The location and the views absolutely cannot be beat. Right in the heart of downtown, with giant windows showcasing the beautiful Christmas decorations on Palafox. It really was super nice. The service was great. We were very well taken care of. The menu sounded really great. Tapas, when done well, are a great way to try many different things from many different categories; meat, seafood, veggies, pasta, etc. Cons: The execution was lacking majorly. The slicing of the meats was weird and uneven. The cook on the meats was very off. My first undercooked scallop ever. It was just way off for the kind of restaurant this place was trying to be. Tips: Go to the Union Public House instead. But if you have to come here, get anything they have with red snapper. That one was amazing.

    As always a great dinner. I will always recommend the Violet Beauregard for a drink. we always get the pork tenderloins, the crabcake was fantastic. Caesar salad is always on point. I always get the New York strip steak with the add-on, wife had the filet..

    Ask the Community - Global Grill

    Do they have a corkage fee? Or allow diners to bring their own bottle with or without corkage?

    Do they have a private dining space for bigger groups?

    They don't have a private space but they do have an area that can be used depending on size of group that would be viable for a large group and give a modicum of privacy. It's their dining area behind the bar off from the main bar/dining area

    Do they take reservations?

    Yea and I recommend you make them! They don't do same day reservations from what I remember

    Are leashed pets allowed here?

    No pets allowed inside. No outside seating available.

This place blew me away. The service was phenomenal, fast and very attentive. I didn't get a cocktail this time but the drinks looks amazing. I decided to try the lobster roll and it didn't disappointed. Plus nowadays you cant lobster less than $50 so was surprised this was only $35 with the amount they gave.

Only thing is there isn't much parking. I would definitely be back next time I'm in the area. If you haven't tried yet do yourself a favor and go!

Dirty martini was excellent, Kumamoto oysters and all accompaniment's were delicious. Where they fell short...we ordered salmon crudo at the same time that we ordered oysters and there was a very long delay between the two, our waitress even came over twice to reassure us that the crudo was coming. But...our entrees were brought out before the crudo. kind of defeats the purpose of a cold crudo when you're eating it with your hot entree :-( We were comped a dessert, which we would have ordered anyway...to add insult to injury, my snapper was overcooked and dry! DH said his scallops were delicious, but lacked the promised orange flavor. Funny/not funny, eating the crudo left me disappointed and wishing for a better experience. I actually continued to think about it when I got home, it bothered me that much. Not sure what the restaurant could have done differently...as they say, timing is everything! $216 + tip = $258.19 for dinner for 2...I should not leave disappointed.

I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.

Today, however, they missed the mark and I feel compelled to provide some constructive criticism, as I wouldn't want to see this otherwise good restaurant fail. I had the Caprese Sandwich with Grilled Chicken + Caesar Salad and sparkling water, which cost me $40 with the tip. Rather pricey for a lunch, but it's Friday and I felt like treating myself, so no big deal. Except the food was rather underwhelming, and unnecessarily so. It felt as if they had the right idea and the right ingredients but failed pretty miserably in the execution. First, the sandwich. I picked it up and drove straight to work (5 min drive), which apparently was enough time for the bread to become completely saturated with water from the burrata cheese, to the point where it looked and had the texture of soggy bread pudding and it was entirely impossible to hold it together. I had to eat it with a fork, which was inconvenient and disappointing. This seems like a very obvious recipe flaw, as the burrata has high moisture content and needs to be coupled with a more sturdy bread, such as a focaccia. Overall, I'd give it 1/5 for presentation. Moving onto the chicken. It was cooked very well and the taste was there, but it looked extremely unappealing, as it was almost entirely BLACK and not because it was burned, but because it was just fully covered in charcoal specks, presumably from the grill, which perhaps hadn't been cleaned in a while. I specifically asked for the grilled and NOT blackened chicken, so I was very confused and initially thought that they just cooked it the wrong way, but upon closer inspection, it became obvious to me the black specks were not seasoning but plain charcoal residue. To make matters worse, these specks had contaminated all the other ingredients as well, which I found pretty gross. It certainly did not meet basic expectations, especially for the price point. I'd give it 2/5, because it was edible and the chicken was otherwise well cooked and flavored, even if a bit gross to look at. Additionally, both the sandwich and side salad were heavily drenched in sauce/dressing. The l Caesar salad, which was very small (about the size of a small cup of soup), had very few pierces of lettuce mixed in with a disproportionately large amount of dressing and cheese, which was not only very overpowering but it made the salad really soggy. It basically felt like eating plain Caesar dressing. 2/5 because the dressing tasted good, but there was simply too much of it, and since it was already mixed in, I couldn't fix it in any way. I ended up not eating it. I hope the owners can see this and pass it onto their chefs/cooks, as I've met them and I know they're very sweet and caring people. Everyone can have a bad day, and I'm hoping this was just a one-off, and everything will be great again next time.
