I won't beat around the bush as I tend to do. Martini's Grille is the paramount of places I have eaten. A solid 10 out of 10. I know crazy that I would break my no place is perfect rule, Well Tada, here it is. Making the reservation was no hassle. Finding this place would be a little trouble.cause from the street its not a building you would expect a fine restaurant to be in. A quick elevator ride up and you take a quick turn to talk to a hostess. I found that you will more than likely be directed to the bar after confirming your reservation. which is a great cause you need a martini for the amazing drink crafters I kid you not the drink selection was not to be scoffed at.

Since yours doesn't drink and this place really has no soft drinks though you can get water at the table, It doesn't even matter though they can make just about any drink on the menu "Virgin", Thus I had my first Martini, The Ruby Slipper, Sure it had no alcohol in it but cut me some slack I have issues. This drink hit taste buds I didn't even think that should be working at the same time. Mad props to that bartender. This Time also gave an opportunity to look over that Awesome menu.
After our time at the bar we were seated and the Table was a river front view (seen above). Our hostess was incredible! She managed to be out the Service personnel from every single other restaurant I frequent. She was always smiling and even as it began to get more packed as the night progressed and more people stared coming in. It didn't slow her down one bit. So To you Thank you so much. .
It was not long we had our appetizers and boy did our eyes write a check our stomachs couldn't cash. We tried an amazing Verity of sushi and The Crab Rangoon was nuts. I tried Crab Rangoon prepared many different ways. Including my own shameful attempt a few years ago. That and a Chicken Lips Pizza, and Soft Pretzel Fondue. We didn't realize until it was too late how much food it was,

Was that all I ate? Mayhaps it should have been the seafood section of the menu continued to call to me. So I Got the King Crab Jar ( Food information can be on the menu link on the website) and Baked Potato Soup. The King Crab in a jar was really Buttery and Sweet, the you put it on the biscuit it came with gave Just that little extra texture it needed to put it over the top. So warm and Buttery< yes I know i already said buttery but that was flavor now I'm talking about texture. The creaminess of everything made the meal.The Mac & Cheese Has been placed in its own category with me now. It was hot and decedent and gooey if anything made me hit the proverbial "food wall" that was it. The Baked Potato Soup was a clever bit of culinary science Take potato soup add the topping of a baked potato and there you have it the over simplification of genius.

It was so Much food in the end we took a good portion of the Pizza home with us.As far as the Check is concerned this is a place you get more that what you are paying for. usre some things are more pricey but if you are looking for a get togther with some friends like I did, or a romantic Night out Martin's Grille has you covered top bottom, So In the enclosing Im say it again the great staff and Excellent food Finally broke me, So I happily award Martini's a Perfect 10.
