Went to Against the Grain a couple of weeks ago and was pretty impressed overall. We were rushed arriving due to crazy traffic so we were a bit frazzled about parking/where to park.
Super friendly & knowledgeable server (Mary) who made us feel very welcome and at ease. I made our reservation for 7:00 pm on a Saturday night through Opentable. The weather turned out to be amazing. I didn't specify online if I would like indoor or outdoor (I didn't know you could?). I figured with the beautiful evening, that the restaurant would be jammed and we would be stuck indoors. The really nice hostesses at the door asked "inside or outdoors" when we arrived! Yay! We ended up at a prime table on the patio, overlooking the water (bonus!!!). It is a beautiful spot, watching boats on the lake. We had the bonus of the Super Moon which was cool. We also noticed a boat pull up and get take out which was kind of funny!
Our server was very helpful with picking our drinks and dinner. My husband had the mussels as an appetizer. They were definitely NOT worth the $14 or so. They were miniscule mussels and they looked shriveled up. For our mains, we had the daily special fish & salad and the steak & frites - both were great. Prices are a little high but the atmosphere definitely makes you forget about how much you are spending. Overall, I'd recommend!
