We try to drop in whenever we are in Pensacola. The food is always amazing. It is made fresh, so it's rarely a problem accommodating our dietary restrictions. Eric was our waiter on this visit. He was knowledgeable and patient. Extremely helpful.

Excellent lamb lollipop tapas! Good BBq shrimp tapas. The special scallops tapas were good. When we return, everyone wants the lamb lollipop tapas.

Overall very nice. Everyone enjoyed themselves. HOWEVER, two people ordered the steak and it had Worcester Sauce - but way too much. The mushrooms were submerged in straight sauce, so much so that you had to put your steak on the sliced tomatoes to drain the sauce. Very disappointing - and the fried leeks were cold. Two steak dinners not acceptable for being over $60 for the entree. We did not mention it during dinner as our host would have been mortified. Everything else was very good - the scallops, Brussel sprouts, the specials etc. Just unfortunate the overuse of straight Worcester sauce.

Delicious tapas and a beautiful dining experience with great service. Prices are a little steep for the actual food delivered. In my humble opinion, better fine dining options exist nearby.

Such a good downtown spot. Food is always delicious, staff is super attentive, and the Brussels in that butter… honestly so freaking good!
Global Grill is located inDowntown Pensacola. We had done some shopping and were looking for somewhere with good food and stopped in here. We entered and decided to eat at the bar with our server - Eric - greeting us promptly. Drinks were ordered with appetizers of crab cake, fried asparagus drizzled with a sweet soy sauce, and lamb lollipops. OMG - we were in heaven - they were all so delicious. Dinner consisted of Chicken Condon Bleu, Lobster wontons and Chiles Rellenos. All were so good that we decided that this was the place for dinner whenever we came to Pensacola. Thanks for the awesome service Eric.

We had an hour or so before going to a show at the nearby theatre but hadn't reserved dinner. Everywhere was pretty paked but The Global Grill managed to squeeze us in to a very busy dining room. We explained we had little time and they completely pulkled out all of the stops. Despite the rush they skimped on nothing, giving us full descriptions of the dishes and giving good advice. And the food was delicious, wonderfully fresh. When our meals arrived the waiter asked if we would likely have anything else because he knew our tight time frame. When we told him no, he provided the bill right away so we wouldn't be delayed at the end. Absolutely excellent service and food.

Went here with some friends before going to Saenger Theater. The whole experience was amazing. It’s got a fancy-yet-super-chill atmosphere, our waiter was knowledgeable and so friendly, and the food….whoa goodness was it incredible. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, from the Brussels sprouts to start and the coffee and cheesecake to end it. I would highly, highly recommend it all, but if you’re deciding what to order, please don’t miss out on the Brussels sprouts or the pork tenderloin medallions. I would definitely encourage a visit here!

Tucked into the heart of downtown Pensacola, Global Grill remains a consistent standout among the city’s culinary gems — a true white linen experience where sophistication meets Southern soul.
Our recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. Opting for a tapas-style dinner, we sampled three standout dishes, each one executed with thoughtful precision and rich layers of flavor.
We began with the Southern Fried Oysters on Grits, which were everything you'd hope for in a Gulf Coast delicacy. Perfectly crisp oysters crowned a velvety bed of stone-ground grits, balancing brine and butter in each bite. This dish was a comforting nod to tradition, elevated by its presentation and seasoning.
Next came the Brussel Sprouts in a Smoked Gouda Sauce with Bacon. These small but mighty sprouts arrived caramelized and tender, enrobed in a creamy sauce that struck the right chord between smoky and savory. The crisp bacon added texture and depth — a decadent, shareable plate that disappeared quickly.
Our third selection, the Seared Scallops, were nothing short of artful. Plump and perfectly seared, the scallops were paired with two towering tempura onion rings, which added crunch and a whisper of sweetness. The contrast in texture made this dish both playful and refined.
To complement the meal, I enjoyed a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned, expertly mixed and served with a large ice cube that melted slowly — the kind of cocktail that quietly reminds you you're in good hands.
Our waiter, Gary, was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambience — warm lighting, intimate tables, and a lively but not overwhelming crowd — provided a fitting backdrop for a truly memorable evening.
Final Verdict: Global Grill nails the balance of upscale dining and Southern charm. Each dish was masterfully prepared and portioned generously for tapas. If you're looking for a place where flavor, atmosphere, and attention to detail align beautifully, Global Grill deserves a top spot on your list.
Always great service and good pizza
