    Caesar Salad (Lunch deal with a big slice, salad, and drink)
    Andrea T.

    After seeing a sign advertising their lunch deal for a giant slice, salad, and a drink for $10.99, we decided to stop in for Friday lunch. They've done a nice job with the interior and there's lots of space to dine in without feeling like you're sitting on top of the table/people next to you. There were probably around 10 tables when we got there for lunch. Our waiter did a good job taking our orders and tending to us. Honestly may have been one of the better servers we've had in a while. So props to him! Food wise, the salads were good. Fresh and not soaked in dressing which I always appreciate. I ordered my slice with the white garlic pizza with chicken, artichokes, and sweet red peppers. I anticipated a flavorful slice. My husband ordered the traditional pizza with sausage and mushrooms. When they came, we saw two very differently baked slices. Both were what I'd call more of a thin crust pizza. His crust was dark and overdone. My crust was done nicely but the bottom crust wasn't crispy like I expected. It was tough to cut through and soft. My flavors didn't pop like I was expecting. I couldn't really taste much garlic and the other toppings did little to help. Sadly, it was bland. My husband said his pizza tasted good but the crust was too overdone. We did see nearby tables with a more consistent bake on full pies. Maybe the key is ordering a full one and not the lunch or by the slice.

    An enjoyable meal! It is very good for a chain. The ingredients and freshness were fine but that's mostly what holds them back from me giving them a 5. A pro about this place is that the pizza was cooked so well! Perfect amount of crunch for me while it maintained a good structure but had a little bit of flop. The ambiance was really good. Inside is really nice but it was so nice out so we had to take advantage of their quaint little patio! Waiter was friendly as well. Vibes top notch.

    Sad little salad

    Ordered a small pizza and salad. Salad was pitiful , looks wilted . And no dressing! Pizza had a very small smattering of sausage.... Very poor excuse for a meal.

    We had Grimaldi's in New York a few years ago, so we had high expectations for this one. We were not disappointed! It was classy, but not too much. Very nice set up of the restaurant and we sat on the bar side and it was comfortable! Able to watch all of our favorite football games and enjoy amazing food! Pizza and antipasto was delicious and fresh! Service was kind and attentive! If you want a great pizza and not break the bank, you will want to give Grimaldi's a chance! We'll be back for sure!

    Our 12 inch build your own pizzas

    We stopped in last evening around 7 pm hoping to grab a couple of slices but discovered they are only available for a lunch special. We returned again today at 3:30 pm. Between lunch and dinner hours, we had our choice of seating and chose a booth which gave us a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. Red checked tablecloths and Frank Sinatra music contributed to the atmosphere. Now for the food. We split a small Caesar salad and the small size was plenty big enough to split. Not overly dressed with crisp Romaine lettuce. Since we hadn't eaten lunch (and we like different toppings on our pizza) we each ordered a 12 inch build your own. The toppings tend to be pricey so your cost can add up quickly, however, the topping amount was generous. The crust was thin and spot on but did get a little soggy as time went on. We had a switch in servers mid-meal; didn't get the name of our first one but after Jacob took over, he made sure to tell us of the switch. I was almost finished with my iced tea and thinking I'd like a refill when Jacob appeared with another before I could ask which was impressive! This is not a budget pizza meal but the food was good and we would return!

    We went on a Saturday night so it was busy. We were seated pretty much right away but then it took a while for anyone to take our drink and appetizer order. We weren't in a rush so it wasn't a huge inconvenience. The checkered table clothes gave it an old pizza parlour vibe which was cool. We ordered the antipasto as an appetizer and it was good. The bread was soft and fresh and plate came with big slices of mozzarella. We ordered two pizzas- the Brooklyn bridge, show in the picture, and the BBQ chicken. Is it the best pizza I've ever had, no, but it was very good. Crust is very thin and a little chewy. The tomato sauce was definitely fresh which was great because I think the sauce can make or break a pizza. It was light but flavourful and filing. The BBQ chicken was also very good. The fact that the pizzas are cooked in a wood fired helped the smoky BBQ taste I think. It didn't quite taste like your typical BBQ pizza with store bought Sauce, it had a slightly elevated flavour. We also got some of the hot honey to try. I have had a few hot honeys but this one was extra hot. Very hot in its own but added a nice flavour complex when drizzled on the pizza. All in all I would recommend if you are looking for a nice place to grab a slice.

    Stopped in on Saturday for lunch after shopping at the mall. Was a little difficult to find,…read morebecause the location on yelp is a little off. Was promptly seated and didn't have to wait long to get my order in or receive my food. Now I was in early so I could see how it could get busy as service picks up because seating can be a little limited. The restaurant was clean and decorated well enough. The location doesn't do it many favors but the food is good so I'll likely come back. I requested the New Delhi-Style Noodles because I enjoy yellow curry dishes and was needless to say I was impressed. The vermicelli noodles were great dipped into the accompanying fish sauce with curried chicken bites in between. The portion was solid for lunch and I didn't feel like I needed more to get me through until dinner. Only gripe is maybe the price is a little high for anything other than chicken but that's life right now. I'll likely stop back in to try a few more dishes when I'm back in the area.

Potstickers were just okay. The dipping sauce didn't do them any favors--this felt like an easy upgrade they're missing. Imperial Egg Rolls were the biggest letdown. At $17 for three, I expected something memorable...they just weren't. Pad Thai landed squarely in "average." Grilled Honey Roast Chicken Egg Noodles was a mixed bag. The chicken itself was delicious, but the noodles were pretty bland--and oddly, they didn't really work together. Royal Fried Rice was a win. The combo of BBQ pork, sweet sausage, and shrimp came together really well. Seafood Noodle dish was unfortunately pretty bland. All in all, a few bright spots, but not a place we're rushing back to--though I'd reorder those wings without hesitation.

We were there on a Sunday so I suspect a lot of other people were taking advantage of the Sunday dinner for two like we were. We were greeted when we came in the door and the service from the time we entered until the time we left was outstanding. As we are celebrating our anniversary, our table was decorated for that which was a nice touch. We looked over the very extensive menus and did settle back in on the $99 dinner for two. In theory it is smaller portions than some of their other dishes, but there was more than enough food there for the two of us. We got the filet mignon, which was wonderfully prepared and an outstanding cut of meat. We got the 50-50 potatoes, and asked later what the 50-50 meant and discovered it's 50% potato and 50% butter and cream. They are delicious but decadent! We also got the asparagus which was very good. It had a wonderful sauce, and was tender and flavorful. We also each got the wedge salad which was almost a meal in itself. And we each got the carrot cake for dessert. We had to bring a lot of the carrot cake home because we were quite topped off at that point. The carrot cake is a slightly different twist than some, but very good nonetheless. The wine list is very good and prices are what you would expect at an establishment of this type. All in all, I would definitely go back and try some other things. If you're into oysters, they have quite a selection of those, but that's not really my jam.

The food was the real standout. The fish was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender inside--and the sauces were rich without being heavy. You could tell care went into every layer of the dish, from the seasoning to the presentation. Nothing felt rushed or overdone. Cocktails were just as impressive. Well-balanced, strong without being overwhelming, and honestly one of the better old fashioneds I've had in a while. It's the kind of drink you slow down for. Service was attentive without hovering, and the atmosphere hit that sweet spot between upscale and comfortable. This is the kind of place you come for a date night, a celebration, or just because you want a really solid meal done right. Definitely coming back.

I was seated immediately at the bar, which was fine, but from there the experience just unraveled. The bartender seemed scattered and overwhelmed despite the lack of guests.

There was no presence, no attentiveness, and no sense that anyone was managing the room. At one point I was just sitting there waiting for the check with no sign of the bartender.
