Downtown Grill is a cozy restaurant that offers an enjoyable dining experience. The staff is attentive and helpful, with servers like Sarah and Jordan going the extra mile to ensure customers have a great time. The warm and soft complementary bread and butter add to the inviting atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including an off-menu appetizer described as a "grit pancake type thing topped by 3 blackened shrimp covered with a cajun andouille sauce." Standout entrees include dry aged ribeye, surf and turf, blackened scallops with grit soufflé and penne marinara, and chicken marsala with grilled asparagus and sautéed green beans. While there was a minor issue with the temperature of a steak order, the other dishes were praised for their excellent flavor and depth. The restaurant also offers a beautiful bar with a wide selection of drinks and a great wine list, adding to the cozy and intimate ambiance.
Many guests have praised the cheese/sauce with bread appetizer, calling it wonderful, and some consider the baked potatoes and asparagus to be among the best they've ever had. The atmosphere is quiet and private, making it a perfect escape, especially for special occasions and gatherings. Reservations are required for fast seating, as the place can get busy. The bar menu is extensive, and the restaurant is known for its knowledgeable and attentive staff. Finding Downtown Grill can be tricky using GPS because it’s located down an alley, noted by the "Lane" in the address, but valet parking is available. Some guests found the steak to be tender but lacking flavor, while others enjoyed the blackened scallops, button mushrooms, and cheese grits soufflé. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended, and many visitors look forward to returning.
