Reviews
I cannot wait to come back and try more things!
We will stop by again for the tapas!
I would like to clarify while we spent over 100.00 per person, we are not average diners. We enjoy our cocktails when we are out and we order everything from appetizers to dessert. All of the drink and food prices are very affordable and perfect for date night!
Because of the operating hours I would love to see a reservation service like Open Table available, however they quickly responded to the message we left.
Our recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. Opting for a tapas-style dinner, we sampled three standout dishes, each one executed with thoughtful precision and rich layers of flavor.
We began with the Southern Fried Oysters on Grits, which were everything you’d hope for in a Gulf Coast delicacy. Perfectly crisp oysters crowned a velvety bed of stone-ground grits, balancing brine and butter in each bite. This dish was a comforting nod to tradition, elevated by its presentation and seasoning.
Next came the Brussel Sprouts in a Smoked Gouda Sauce with Bacon. These small but mighty sprouts arrived caramelized and tender, enrobed in a creamy sauce that struck the right chord between smoky and savory. The crisp bacon added texture and depth — a decadent, shareable plate that disappeared quickly.
Our third selection, the Seared Scallops, were nothing short of artful. Plump and perfectly seared, the scallops were paired with two towering tempura onion rings, which added crunch and a whisper of sweetness. The contrast in texture made this dish both playful and refined.
To complement the meal, I enjoyed a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned, expertly mixed and served with a large ice cube that melted slowly — the kind of cocktail that quietly reminds you you’re in good hands.
Our waiter, Gary, was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambience — warm lighting, intimate tables, and a lively but not overwhelming crowd — provided a fitting backdrop for a truly memorable evening.
Final Verdict:
Global Grill nails the balance of upscale dining and Southern charm. Each dish was masterfully prepared and portioned generously for tapas. If you’re looking for a place where flavor, atmosphere, and attention to detail align beautifully, Global Grill deserves a top spot on your list.
Nice ambiance. Nothing too special, though. Tried the crab cakes, asparagus, and Brussel Sprouts with thick cut bacon. I think this place is nice but not really for me.
The birthday girl asked if they acknowledged birthdays, they told her that if she bought a dessert, they’ll put a candle in it. We weren’t expecting fireworks, but as a party of 12 people, they could’ve ordered something better or just nothing at all.
The asparagus had a sweet soy sauce which some liked.
The Brussel Sprouts were a little larger than English peas.
Friends complemented the spicy margarita.
My Vegas Bomb was perfect
We reserved a table in the small dining spaces near the entrance because the tables there are a bit more quiet and intimate…especially important for me, a veteran with hearing problems. The main dining room gets quite loud, and I can’t hear or have conversation with my wife.
We were seated by a couple that we soon found out were locals, as the owner came out whistling and interrupting out waiter trying to serve them. The lady at the table somehow felt the need to announce to us that they’ve known [him] the owner for 30 years. We were suitably unimpressed. We’re on vacation and want to enjoy a romantic dinner.
After five minutes of that nonsense, it was over and we enjoyed our meals, then once again out came the owner to loudly discuss politics. Don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to hear is someone else’s view on politics while I’m trying to enjoy a romantic meal with my wife.
Wouldn’t have been a problem if their conversation was at a reasonable tone, but for the 15 minutes my wife and I waited for our carrot cake (which was delicious) they were so loud we couldn’t talk to each other, and were content just to sit there and smile at each other at the absurdity of the conversation we were hearing.
Hope “the people vote right” so the owner can retire. Poor thing.
