Greek Grill

Review Summary

Overall, Casa Grecque is viewed as a solid option with strong food and a refreshed atmosphere, though feedback spans both praise and criticisms. Many diners applaud the renovations, the affordable prices, and dishes described as delicious, with some mentioning the BYO wine policy and enjoyable group celebrations. Concerns focus on the dining room layout and noise, especially on weekends when large groups arrive, making access to coats and chairs awkward and slowing service. Service experiences vary from attentive, friendly servers to slower, less consistent moments and occasional missteps that have left some guests unhappy. Several reviews praise helpful staff during busy times and nice touches for parties, while others note changes in management and a sense that changes have affected the level of service. Despite the mixed service, the food remains repeatedly described as tasty and satisfying, with many expressing willingness to return and recommend for gatherings. Overall impression is that Casa Grecque shines for a group meal and for those who value price and flavor, but it could benefit from improved layout planning, staffing consistency, and quieter operations.View restaurant profile
