Editorial Review for London Grill – by Elisa Ludwig

In Short
London Grill, whose ambitious kitchen has attracted a following since the 1991, fills its front room with an upscale bar crowd--and its back dining room, glassed-in greenhouse and sidewalk tables with more serious dining patrons. The ever-changing menu gives the impression that this eatery's trying to stay ahead of local dining trends. Asian and Latin American influences abound, but the Mediterranean dishes show a masterful touch.

User Reviews for London Grill

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I took a friend to London Grill for brunch after finding it on a website. It took a very long time for us to receive our appetizer, and even longer to receive our pancakes. When our pancakes arrived, they were cold. No one came to refill my ice tea so I had to request a refill after my glass sat completely empty for over fifteen minutes. Other couples came and left in the amount of time we waited for our food and no apologizies were made for the delays.

Pros: The bartender and host were very friendly.

Cons: It took an extremely long time to get the pancakes and they were cold when they arrived.

Went to the Grill tonight because the great brewer/author Garrett Oliver was there with a good selection of Brooklyn Brewery beers. The beers were on the menu for a decent price (bottles between $4 and $6 - local one for $15) and our table enjoyed the meatballs and sliders. The problem was the beer sampler - $12 for three little glasses that held less than four ounces each!!!. What gives? We could have ordered three bottles and come out with the same price! Needless to say, the bill was very high and we had drunk little. To keep our spirits high, we went to the Belgian Cafe and ordered some bottles of beer - world class for a lot less than the "sampler" rip-off at the Grill.

Pros: meatball extravaganza tasty, little burgers fine

Cons: sampler of beer puny and expensive
