We met some friends for dinner while we were in town. They suggested The Griffon, and we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent, the service was terrific, and beer was cold. What more could you ask for?

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.
