On the Corner Grill is clearly a popular destination, evident in its lively, bustling atmosphere. The restaurant manages the crowd well, particularly with the help of its inviting and nice bar area. We were immediately impressed by the two bartenders working, who were both remarkably kind and attentive. Despite the constant rush, they provided excellent, personalized service, which made our visit seamless and enjoyable. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor set a high standard for the entire dining experience. The culinary offerings at On the Corner Grill truly shine. We found both the appetizers and the meals to be incredibly delicious and well presented, reflecting the kitchen's commitment to quality ingredients and careful execution. Each dish was a visual treat and satisfyingly flavorful. While the meals are a little pricey, given the overall superior quality of the food and the outstanding level of service provided by the staff, the cost is entirely justified and expected. This spot is a definite must-visit for a high-quality night out.

Went there with friends who recommended the place and gad reservations. We had to wait 20 minutes after the fact and the was put in a corner table that had terrible lighting above it and no formal tableware setup. Menus that were given for the eight of us had only one specials of the night. We had to use our phone flashlights to read that and the regular menu. Our waitress was very nice and gave us sometime before placing our order. Thought the price of the entrees was higher, about 7 to 10 dollars more than most places we frequent especially considering the plate portions given. Meal was served piping hot but disappointed on prepation of haddock that was watery in a french baking dish and grouping of julienne vegetables that was more a shriveled concoction. The other persons meal were more or less the same and most didn't finish there meals as well. Ordered the Swiss Chalet cake and description stated moist chocolate cake. It was not moist but very dry. I usually finish desert but this was again a disappointing end of the meal. I would seriously avoid going back again. Other orders were sirloins tips with a plate of fries that was bigger the the sirloin plate.

I recently moved to the area and was excited to try this spot. I sat at one of two open bar seats and was told after sitting that the bar was on a waitlist. Staff were professional and polite, but the policy felt counterintuitive—seeing empty seats while being told there’s a wait was frustrating and disappointing. Restricting seating in plain view of guests creates a confusing experience and left a poor first impression.

Always a great spot for dinner cinsistent food and great service.
Consistent best describes all facets of a meal at OCG. Selection and quality of food is outstanding. Service is prompt, efficient and accurate. You do pay for all of this, but it's always well worth the visit.

The service is great! The restaurant has a cute diner like feel to it. Unfortunately I just don't feel the prices match the amount of food you get.
