Downtown Grill, the clean white table cloth steak and seafood spot of the downtown mall. Upon entering The Downtown Grill we realized how spacious this restaurant is. Plenty of room for larger parties, tables of two or bar spacing for someone/a group that wants to watch a game. As always we gravitate to the bar area. That's where all the activities, events and cooler staff is, right!?!?!? We were greeted by Paul behind the bar that catered to our needs. He was awesome!! We joked, had a few small plates and great cocktails/wine. His service was on par with the top of the industry. The food was well prepared and we enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. Like I said we had a few plates and they were timed perfectly. Kudos to whoever was keeping an eye out. Thanks for a handful of great experiences DG!!

The service and quality of food is so good! In my prior reviews I've pointed out how nice it is when kitchens are willing and able to navigate what I know are challenging food allergies, I can't eat onion, corn, soy or alcohol (even when cooked). I ordered a simple Filet Oscar and asked that they not garnish with their traditional pickled onion, "No problem!" Jason came by after we finished our salads to apologize that the Bernaise with Oscar has onions and wondered if hollandaise would work for me as a substitute. That would be fine I said! Thanks for letting me know or for listening and checking with the kitchen. When he brought out dinner he let me know that the kitchen actually prepared fresh and without onion a Bernaise for my plate. WOW! We love this place! We believe you won't be disappointed either!

What an amazing dinner experience! Came here for our anniversary and they offered us two complimentary glasses of champagne. We got the tuna tartare app and it was amazing! The soup of the day, a white fish tomato based soup, was refreshing and tasty. We ordered the scallops dinner and the filet mignon and couldn't be happier with the entrees. Our waiter was friendly and the right amount of attentive. Although the key lime pie was more like a four star dessert the entire experience was so great I had to give this place five stars!

Each and everything is seriously great! I had the crab cake as an appetizer and really enjoyed it-perfect! Tender, and crisped on the outside while being light, flaky and tasting of the crab and just enough seasoning to accent the flavor of the crab meat...I would definitely order it again. My husband had the tuna tartare and really liked it. He said it was perfectly prepared and he also would order it again. As my entree, I had the filet mignon and it was perfection! Crispy on the outside with a hint of pepper and cooked exactly how I like it! My husband had the salmon and he really liked it-and said that he would definitely order it again. The creamed spinach was sooo good-I can't wait to have it again! We will be coming here again soon for sure!

This is a very solid classic steakhouse. You will get exactly what pay for: good steaks cooked to perfections with excellent sides, good service, and good wine. I brought a group of seven here for my brother's bachelor party. The service was excellent: attentive, professional, helpful, and friendly not annoyingly so. The steaks were high quality, cooked exactly to order. These are not life changing, but steaks are a bastion of stability in an era of constantly changing food. The 16 oz ribeye was fantastic, as was the tenderloin. The sides were good, especially the Brussels sprouts. Though craft cocktail fans, no one got any modern cocktails--just classic martinis, old fashioneds, etc. They were all spot on. The wine list is extensive, with French, Italian, and local Virginia wines. I cannot comment so much on the ambience. It was a Sunday night, so the restaurant was pretty quiet. I will note though, that despite being the last people out no one rushed us at all! Overall very happy with it!

Great ambiance and nice location. Absolutely awesome calamari to start. Had the beef special with my wife. She normally does not red steak but it was very good. She really enjoyed the steak and the potato au gratin. Highly recommend for that special occasion since it can be pricey.

Outstanding servers! Calamari, key lime pie, and onion rings were 5 star!!! Filet is thick and juicy but is a little bland. Overall perfect dinner on a college shopping trip!
