What people say, in short
The Grill's prime rib has several enthusiastic advocates, including one diner who prefers it to La Tête d'Or's. Repeated recommendations also emphasize the elegant room and overall meal rather than steak alone. One diner particularly remembers the tableside carving. Cost is a recurring caveat, with diners describing it as an expensive occasion rather than an everyday steak dinner.
