| - 3.5 is a fair score.
To me, Grand Concourse has a difficult dilemma. Food is ok, but not great, there are better options. The view is also ok, but there are better. The inside is beautiful, and the sunroom downtown view is good, but it cannot beat the view from the top of Mt. Washington. So Grand Concourse kind of goes to the "celebration / special event", but I always end up going somewhere up Mt. Washington. (my last wedding anniversary was on Mt. W)
Been at Grand Concourse twice, one as a business brunch and the other one was taking my visiting mother for lunch. We had the "power lunch" sets. Clam chowder was good. Very filling. It was rich and chunky, lots of potato and clams. It really fills you up.
We had shrimp artichoke pasta and salmon burgers. Pasta was alright but does not stand out. Salmon burger was a bit disappointing, and I blame myself for it. I was expecting a salmon FILLET burger, not a salmon PATTY burger. I can name two places that would give me a salmon fillet burger at this price range. If Strip District can offer me that, I expect nothing less from Grand Concourse.
I had a Blue Crab Club Sandwich a long time ago, and that was delicious.
Final note, if it is a romantic date, go to Mt Washington. This is more like business/birthday events. And since you cannot improve the view, I guess you can only improve the food.
