Gourmet Grill — Restaurant in New York

For my 65th birthday I wanted to treat some family and some very close friends to a very nice dinner to celebrate; yesterday night; about 2 dozen guests in all. Gourmet Grill blows away any so called fancy/trendy "white tablecloth" restaurants in Brooklyn. The food (quality/quantity) was terrific, the service and ambiance just as terrific. The salad and appetizers were excellent and everyone devoured the rib appetizers they were so good. There was a choice of several entrees that were excellent and we were allowed to choose any of the sauces for the pasta. The tuscan sauce is terrific and I don't know of any other place that has it. I do not like cakes so I was given cups of ice cream to go along with the cannolis and rainbow cookies. The bottom line is that there was not a single thing that could have possibly been better.

Today I ordered a full order of steak quesadilla. It was not properly made. The top layer of bread was hard and crispy.

Next thing I know, he is calling to tell me that he will still send a new one but that the driver told him I let a child hold it and that caused the problem. The child did not hold the box straight which could very well be the truth. So not holding a box straight gives you crunchy bread that flaking and tough steak???? I learn something new every day. I declined his condescending offer to still send me a replacement. I am really...

The portions were huge but the taste of the white meat barbecue chicken was off. It’s hard to describe. Plus, the chicken was cold. I didn’t notice that at first because the barbecue sauce was poured over the chicken. I only ate some of the chicken and left a large amount on the dish.- did not take it home. Also, the coffee serve was luke-warm. I wouldn’t have even written a review but the bill split was $45 a piece. It just seems that after COVID happened, a lot of restaurant taste and quality have gone down but the prices have risen, I guess to make up for the money lost during that time. However, the support staff were very friendly. Who knows maybe their other...
