The Community Grill

Food is mediocre but probably what I expected from bar food. Margarita was very good and a much healthier version than most. Stark, bare decor (see photo). Extremely loud environment due to lack of fabric anywhere in the restaurant so a lot of echoing noise which makes it hard to have a conversation. All it takes is one baby crying to really ruin your lunch. Owners need to address the sound problems with drop down ceiling panels, spray insulation or some type of fabric to absorb the echo. Should probably hire professional decorators to spruce up the place and make it less bar-like and more like a community cafe. I had the prosciutto cheese sandwich and it was ok but hate that we had to ask for everything like ketchup to go with the fries. And syrup and butter to go with our pancakes. These things should be automatically brought with the food and customers shouldn’t have to ask for every single thing. I’ve been here twice: my first time and my last time.

At the risk of blowing up my new favorite spot, I’m giving this place a solid 5 stars. My fiancé and I went in after church on Sunday and got a mix of things; each one was terrific. We got the capresé (I’m usually not a fan, but the avocado crema absolutely made the difference), the brussels, and the wings. I’ve never known what made wings particularly good, and then I had these. Cooked to perfection and seasoned (not smothered) with lemon pepper; so well done. We ordered 12, and my fiancé counted that we only got 11, but we didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a huge deal. Without being prompted, they came back 5 minutes later because they realized their oversight and brought us 2 additional wings. These folks care about the customer experience and absolutely nailed it. Go check them out!
