My daughter took me to Granite City Brewery for my birthday. Upon arrival the young people serving as Hosts immediately placed us and were really polite (not something I experience often). Our waiter (Ray) was an exceptional young man and went to great lengths to ensure we were taken care of properly. Well mannered and professional he deserves a raise! The beer(s) I tasted were excellent and I highly recommend the Cheddar Cheese and Ale soup. The appetizer we ordered was one of the Flatbreads...and it was truly great. I ordered the Braised Short-Rib, which came with Horseradish Mashed and fresh young Green Beans. The potatoes were a little lacking in flavor and I missed the Horseradish. The Short-Rib could have been seasoned better...but all in all...the meal was good. Well definitely return for more of the goodies on their menu...and the beer too!
