| - The Grill is the restaurant attached to the TPC stadium golf course and is run by the Fairmont Princess Hotel. It was formerly a steak house, but it's theme was changed to chop and fish house to avoid direct competition with the other property restaurant, "Bourbon Steak", a Michael Mina signature faux chic-dive that can barely get food out of the kitchen.
The Princess closed the other property restaurants, Marquesa (5 Stars) and La Hacienda (5 stars) to drive business to Bourbon Steak. The Grill easily and seemingly without effort beats the Bourbon Steak restaurant hands down in every category.
During the day, for lunch, the views of the golf course (#18) are restful and pleasing. The golfers add a pleasant touch to the view. At night, the view is inky blackness, which is ok by me.
I never understand how this place survives. In spite of the Princess Hotel total lack of interest in the success of this restaurant, The Grill continues to be a great place to get an if somewhat expensive, excellent dinner.
In fairness, in terms of cost, it's no worse than Mastros, Ocean or any other high end restaurant, and certainly less expensive than Bourbon Steak, but the setting is much more intimate, the service much better, and the food every bit as good, if not better than those other "must do" places.
The staff is always knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. I've been many times and have never been disappointed. The service is, in a word, professional.
Our recent dinner of Vermouth Mussels, Appetizer Ravioli, Fillet Mignon, pan seared mushrooms and risotto was up to their usual standards. The ravioli in particular was incredible, sparking a small battle for a access to the delicious pasta.
Although we didn't have fish, the fish menu is pretty extensive and always done well. The table next to us ordered the lamb and I could overhear them raving about how good it was. I had the lamb last time and was pleased. We were similarly happy with our choices on this occasion.
There is an extensive wine list and a good selection of by-the-glass choices.
Bottom line: If you are looking for white linen tablecloth experience, The Grill is the place to go. Good food, professional service, you will be able hear your dinner companions and you will be well taken care of.
Update: The Grill is only open for breakfast and lunch during the summer (June - August) months. Sill a great place to go for lunch until it re-opens for dinner.
