    Why my family loves this place: My grandma is hard of hearing and there's an amazing back room where our whole, large family can meet for a peaceful, Christmas meal together. It's large, so people can move around/switch seats to talk and the babies can run around without disturbing anyone. The lighting is dim and peaceful, and the service is always attentive. You can choose menu options for everyone ahead of time (which is what my grandma always does) and then we pick between those. My favorites include the filet, salmon, mashed potatoes, chopped salad, and apple crisp.

    Nice warm seat.

    This is a hotel restaurant but not your typical hotel restaurant. Very nice open atmosphere. It is situated in the lobby of the Renaissance hotel. The restaurant has a bar area that is open to the restaurant and lobby in which you can order from the restaurants full menu. The bar has multiple TV's which is nice if you are eating alone. I ordered the salmon. It came on a bed of spinach risotto and a side of vegetables. The salmon was fantastic and the spinach risotto was outstanding. What a pleasant surprise as I did not expect it from a hotel restaurant. The service was friendly and the price was reasonable if not a tad high. I'll be back. ...it was so good I forgot to take pics but heck...you know what salmon looks like ;-)

    My husband and I were headed out to dinner for our 17th anniversary. We decided to try to stay close to home. We used an app that gave us points for reserving and Grille 39 had a promotion going on to earn more points. The reviews and ratings looked good so I thought it would be worth it to try it out. I was a little hesitant because it was a restaurant in a suburban hotel. For some reason that sort of troubles me! Service was awful but the food redeemed this restaurant. Upon entry around 7 p.m. on a Saturday night, we immediately seated. Looking around there was hardly any other diners in the restaurant. This did make me quite nervous but thought, this means we will have excellent service. Wrong. Service started out great, we ordered our drinks, someone brought our drinks and we waited at least 15 minutes before we even were able to order. The new server told us she was helping the other guy out. Okay, fine. We ordered. 15 more minutes go by and nobody has come back to refill our drinks. At this point, you also expect your salads to be out. At this point, my husband and I were discussing how maybe we should have went to Prime 47 as the prices are similar but we know what kind of service we will get - excellent! So 30 minutes in and we were out of drinks and not a person in sight. Finally, I had enough so I approached the hostess stand where two people were idly standing. I was told a unexpected big party came in after us and that was consuming our server's time. Wrong answer to me. At this point, I am a little annoyed and didn't order another drink. Normal special dinner like this, I would probably have 2-3 cocktails. I will say after mentioning the slow service to the hostess stand, we saw people walking by our table every 3-4 minutes...so at this point maybe a little too special service! ;) Eventually our salads came out, which were huge and we were told the reason why it took so long was they had to cut more lettuce. Okay, just tell me you apologize for the delay, I don't need the excuses! The salads were great but we barely had time to enjoy the salads before our food arrived. Again, service needs some adjustments. The food, though, completely redeemed any ill will there was towards our service. My husband's steak was excellent and prepared exactly how he ordered. My sea bass was perfectly cooked and the lemon caper sauce was delicious. We didn't realize the sides were sort of family style, so we both ordered garlic mashed potatoes and we could have easily shared the one portion between the two of us. My son ordered a black angus burger and he said it was excellent as well. Then there was the truffle mac & cheese. The portion was huge, which we found out later when we got our bill why - they had given us the entree sized order instead of the side order. This was taken care of as well. Being a Yelp user, when we checked in at the restaurant, we received a free dessert with a entree purchase so we took advantage of this offer and order the recommended Apple Cobbler dessert. It is one of the made in the restaurant desserts. It was a large portion - don't order this alone and was excellent! Overall the food was excellent but the service we received prior to me pointing out that we were being ignore was unacceptable - hence the 4 stars. I would give 5 stars for the food and a 2 star for the service if yelp look me break this down! Definitely a gem to find in a suburban hotel!

    I was blown away. The entrance is very pretty, modern with many water features. A very good band was playing, dance worthy. Service was low-key and to the point. As a brunch buffet goes, that's key for an enjoyable experience. Don't rush me but do rush away my unwanted dining ware. In terms of the meal, the crab claws were the stand out for me. Cleaned to the point of just enjoying a full bite of sweet crab with no sweat equity. Another highlight was the plethora and placing of condiments. You never had to look for a tasty sauce or compliment to any protein. My favourite was the horseradish cream sauce which was paired with the prime rib. Speaking of the prime rib, it was cut to order and temperature along with all fat taken off per my request. Divine. The dessert room was like a pillowy room from heaven.

    Off the dessert bar. Pound cake with velvety chocolate, moist cake ball with bacon for a salty twist.

    Celebrate Mom at Grille 39. My wife has always been interested in checking out this hidden restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel. The Mother's Day brunch was enough to put the wondering aside and confirm all the hype. The brunch is all you can eat seafood, breakfast, Chinese, pasta, meat carving stations, cheese spread, and dessert mountain all for $39.95 per person. I was more than impressed. Gigantic shrimp, mussels, crab claws that have been prepped and ready to eat, salmon, pork loin, pasta, made-to-order omelettes.... And the pastry chef on top of a raised platform making bananas foster surrounded by chocolate, mini pies, cheesecake..... Amazing. The staff was incredible. A used plate from the buffet sat on the table no more than 2 minutes. A waiter dumped several glasses of water on my back. A clean-up crew was there quickly. The manager offered to dry clean my shirt and gave us a free round of wine. They went out of the way to ensure we left completely happy. And, we did. Way to deliver an exceptional customer experience Grille 39.

    Had read about this restaurant in side the hotel but never had been. Had relatives staying at the hotel an we booked a birthday dinner, it was the Sunday after new years an the place was empty except for some biz travelers. The food was really good! From duck, salmon, steaks, Indiana corn chowder an everyone was offered a free piece of cheese cake for free for it being a birthday. So I would recommend this place an eat here again!

    This is my empty glass that sat in front of me for about 30 minutes.

    Food was fantastic. I had the scallops with a cauliflower mash and broccolini. Loved every bite. Unfortunately, the service at the bar was lacking. I would recommend not eating at the bar if you won't be drinking. I assume that's why I sat with an empty glass for most of the night. After the meal, I also sat with an empty/dirty plate for at least 20 minutes without even being glanced at. It wasn't even that busy. Oh well. Great food with brutal service.

    Yummy Rosemary Salmon!!! Mmm spinach risotto.

The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

He described the Carrots appetizer as having a "100% success rate" which sounded hyperbolic but absolutely was not !! GET THE CARROTS! Even if you don't like cooked carrots (which I don't!) they are sooooo good and there's no other way to describe it. You just have to try it yourself. After the carrots, we thought it would be hard for the rest of the dishes to live up to that but our daily soup (always vegan) was so yummy! It was made with leeks/root vegetables and forbidden rice - absolutely delicious and very earthy! I was so pleased with just those two items, I could've stopped there and had a perfect experience. We both ordered the mapo tofu - and it was not like mapo tofu you'd get at a korean/chinese restaurant. It wasn't a saucy dish at all - in fact, it was intentionally dry - practically charred. It included rice cake which was interesting. I appreciated the charred/crispy texture with the chewy inside. I wouldn't order it again but if you like textured, spicy dishes you might enjoy it. Luke offered to get us something else but we were already full, so we declined. He also gave me a complimentary blueberry sorbet which was delicious and sooo fresh, and wished me a happy birthday! It was very delicious and necessary to rinse the palate. We had a great time and can't wait to come back when the patio opens up - we loved their mission to assist with providing job opportunities for autistic adults, too. It's a great restaurant with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere and phenomenal service.

We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint.

When ordering them off the appetizer menu, we asked for there to be a delay so we could finish them before receiving our entrees.

The pot roast was 80% fat and while the mashed potatoes were good, the broccoli was raw, sitting in water, with no seasoning.

My husband, who will eat just about anything and is rarely critical about any food, said his chicken florentine was very dry and his broccoli was also raw and unseasoned.

I told our waitress about the food experience but other than replacing the broccoli with equally bad broccoli, nothing was done, not even an apology, and she was MIA for most of our visit, despite the restaurant not being busy...at all. Honestly, I have no idea how this place stays open. The concept is cool, but there's a lot of "stuff" all around that's collecting dust, and with food this bad, it's not worth your time, money, or calories.
