Grill 1-2-5

Nice place. Personable server. Most of the food was good. My one exception was the pork belly. It wasn't crisp or well prepared. There were no layers of meat. It was like eating cubes of room temperature globby fat. Beyond that the strawberry salad was good, as was the caprese sandwich. The restaurant is in the local Radisson - convenient if you're staying there yet not inexpensive enough to have it for every meal.

I love Grill 125, if it's the name of the restaurant at the Radisson Hotel. The food is phenomenal and if you go on Thursday, Friday (or Saturday sometimes) from 6 - 8 pm, they usually have live music. And it is a classy crowd with an (age range of about late 30s - 70. Average age is in the 40s. But it is a very friendly place. I have met so many interesting, well traveled "worldly" and open-minded people there. It is so comfortable and welcoming that I would go by myself and feel comfortable. One thing that I saw the first time I went there was so cool. The band (Doc Possum) invited a gentleman up on stage to sing vocals. He was about 70 to 75 years old. So, When the Crowds saw him walk up to the microphone, none of us knew what to expect. I did speak to him before he sang and he reminded me of a poet, someone you would see in the West Village which was the best place to perform in New York City) When he started to sing, he was no amateur. He had the most powerful voice and everyone was mesmerized. I just love it there. And even though the food's a little pricier, it is well worth it. I would go with a friend and we would order an appetizer and split it. People were very open to meeting new people and they didn't act t isn't clicky, which I love. That's why I loved living in the city because you were anonymous and you didn't have to deal with the clickiness. I enjoy dressing up a little bit but honestly I could go there pretty cash and feel like I'm fitting right in. The bar "room" has a huge bar that reminds me of the more attractive older bars. Just stunning. The bar itself is large, with a lot of seats and I got to say it's one of the nicest looking bar areas that I've ever seen. Whether you sit in the leather chairs that surround the sunken area, which has more seating or you're at the bar, you can hear the music. I loved it especially because you could be yourself and people would respect that. Maybe because they're older. But, I was blessed because one of the only ways to (to even get an interview), someone else (o call the the business promoting you for the job. These jobs are filled before they are ever even posted. a place like a record label is ou have someone who knows you that can speak on your behalf at the label. lot of bands and gone to a lot of bars within a 60 mile radius and I'm pretty picky when it comes to music. Because I got to work with one of the best bands, Pearl Jam and also rage against the machine. When I went, my friend and I had an amazing table that was on the same level as the band. Pretty much anywhere you sit, you have a good view of the band. And, they were not too loud. So, you can either dance to the live music or if you sit a little further back in the room or in the bar area, you can hear the music but you CAN actually talk over it, without straining your voice. I was impressed with the fact that they actually had a dance floor and the band (Doc Possum) performs a lot, within a 60 mile radius. I'm not a huge fan of Elvis, but the singer covers Elvis better than anyone else I've heard I am not bragging, but I was so blessed to make my childhood dream come true, i.e. working for a record company with a band who was just starting out Pearl Jam who I watched and helped promote them within one year hose songs really spoke to me and who I would love to promote.
