More like a 3.5 but I cant justify a 4. I went in kinda without any expectations. First off, its basically the same interior as the previous Grille on Seventh, but with a few new things on the wall. We went in for lunch and there was no one else in the place. I think we say 4 patrons the whole time.
I ordered the Reuben and my coworker for the buffalo chicken in salad form (you get 3 pierogies on the salad and 6 as the entree) We also ordered a side of fries.
Initially I was like mm this is pretty good. My coworker tried it and he was like yeah its good but it tastes EXACTLY like a Reuben. I know usually I'd be like oh awesome I like Reubens and it tastes the same, but in reality, it didn't taste anything like a pierogi. They even gave me the marble rye bread. All I tasted was a reuben with a little bit of crunch because I got the pierogies fried. Maybe there needed to be some potato in the pierogies along with the corned beef. Because why would I pay $16 for pierogies that taste exactly like a reuben when I can get a real reuben for less than that. It was the same with my coworkers. It really just tasted like buffalo chicken dip on a salad. It was good, just missing the pierogi mark.
It wasn't a bad experience, I just feel like if its going to be a pierogi bar, I want my entree to taste like pierogies as well as whatever they are trying to use as a flavor.
