Everything good in this restaurant has soy in it! The chef did come out and talk with us—which was really nice of him. That said, my duck burger was terribly underwhelming. My daughter thought her soup and sandwich were great.

The Mongia was amazing. Get the sweet potato fries and a side dish. They are to die for. The portions were just right. You get what you pay for here. Allison was the best. I haven't had anyone better in years as a server. Everyone at our table was very happy. We will be back.

I live this place, the Walleye is an absolute must. Best fish sandwich I've ever had. The host Jack was one the best and most professional hosts I've ever encountered. My husband got the The Big Chimi and it was divine, but it makes me wonder what they do with the changas🤔

My friend and I went to The Griffon Gastropub and Dan the bartender provided us with exceptional service. He was very personable, knowledgeable on the menu, and gave us a great overall experience! Will come back to see Dan.

Been to 2 of thier locations. The food is delicious and fresh. The flavor combinations are innovative, and the menu has a great selection. A little more pricier than just bar food, but still very good.

I was very excited to be here as it was my first time. The place was elegant and nicely decorated, but then they had dead plants as decor right where you walked in, and that made me feel kind of sad for them. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees as well as desserts, and I have to say their food is on the spicey side. The lobster curry soup had a great flavor, but I felt it was over powered with heat and wish I saw that when I ordered it, but then ate some corn fritters and those absolutely stole the show! The best corn fritters I've ever had! Absolutely delicious. I then ordered their signature mac with some steak, and it is smoked gouda, so you have to be a gouda fan. I enjoyed that. We also ordered the crab appetizer and did enjoy it as well, but it seemed as though again there was some spice that was added to it that was giving some heat, so it took away from the savoryness of the dish. The chocolate cake was pretty good as well. If you like heat to your food, you will absolutely love it, but it was kind of unexpected for Mac. I can totally understand the curry, but I wished the menu mentioned the curry was spicy. Our server and service, though, was impeccable, and I absolutely felt very cared for and taken care of and treated wonderfully. She was amazing! The only other reason for the 3 starts when it comes to the atmosphere besides the dead plants was the floor was extremely slippery. It was a very strange coating of some sort that I totally don't get, even in the bathroom. The place is clean and tidy with great centerpieces, but older people better watch it because they could fall, so I would consider maybe a liner to make sure that floor texture is more secure. I'd go back again and try new things because of the service, and perhaps it was an off day, but now this place has huge potential.
