We were a party of 8, though I will only be writing on behalf of two of us.
They opened at 4. We were arrived early, and waiting in the sitting area outside the Grille until the remainder of our party arrived. We were the first 8 people in the restaurant, with a group of 3 immediately behind us.
The greeting staff member was exceptionally friendly, having even offered to let us enter shortly before opening time.
Unfortunately, our service was painfully slow, especially considering the lack of other patrons. This includes everything from the original drink order, all the way up through the desert order.
On to the food!:
Jennie had a Peach Sangria & I had a Summer Fever (w/ Hendrick’s). Both were very good.
We opted for the Fried Calamari appetizer. We both found it to be fairly good, but definitely too oily. It came with an aioli. We wished we had asked for some marinara with it.
I opted for the Steak Tips with peppers/onions, sweet potato fries, and rice pilaf. The steak tips & veggies were cooked to perfection with phenomenal flavor! The rice pilaf was your typical rice pilaf… nothing special. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, unfortunately I felt there was far too much salt on them… almost making them inedible.
Jennie chose the pan seared scallops, which came on a bed of risotto. This dish came with 5, rather small, scallops. They were quite flavorful. The risotto may as well have been a bed of salt. The risotto was absolutely inedible due to the salt. It looks good, but neither of us could bear to eat more than two bites of it.
Another member of our party had the onion rings. They looked great, portion was great, but they were heavy on the grease, and also were too heavily salted for anyone to eat.
For desert, I ordered the lava cake with ice cream and Jennie ordered the cheese cake with strawberries. We both found our desert to be quite good. I did find it odd that the lava cake was served with a fork rather than a spoon. Both I and another party member had to ask for spoons because the forks just couldn’t pick up the lava!

Having not been to the Colonial Grille in years I was looking rather forward to it. For what you get for your money, it’s really a toss-up if it’s worth it. I doubt we’ll be back.

This was our first visit and it was our anniversary. Staff was very welcoming and made a big deal of the anniversary. Spicy Meatballs appetizer lived up to their name and were very good. Tenderloin steak tips were outstanding. And no going wrong with a warm cookie skillet.

Service was terrible. There was barely anyone in the restaurant and the waitress had forgotten our appetizer and took forever to bring us out food and beverages. Won’t be coming here again. Also I didn’t quite trust the waitress we had. Also woke up not feeling well a few times in the night after eating here. Would not recommend

The dinner was amazing. But the breakfast, was absolutely horrible. I don’t even know how to describe how bad.

Attended and was part of the wedding party. For me and my wife it was an excellent time. Food is always delicious! I met the bass player and drummer from the Big RanDom Band , they play classic rock tunes and the are a must see 7 piece band.

Amazing food and amazing service. Highly recommend the lobster risotto. It tastes amazing and has so much lobster.
Also get the meal package that comes with a soup or salad, choice of starter, choice of entree, and dessert. It’s worth the price

Just left the place after nobody waited on us. It was interesting, after being seated, we watched every table around us get help. They were either getting their food or getting their tab, etc. I watched as a few employees walk right past us multiple times. No one said a word. Finally a person approached us and asked if we had been helped. We said no and she said she’d walked by us a couple of times and didn’t say anything. Kudos to this employee for at least acknowledging us and telling us they’d go find out what was happening. After they walked away my partner and I decided to leave. We’d been here several times before and though the service was always on the slower side, at least we existed. We didn’t seem to exist today.

To make things even better, as we walked by the front, the same person apologized to us and asked if we wanted her to get someone. We were left wondering why she was asking since she had just finished telling us she was finding out what was happening.

Pretty crappy experience.
