The Gryphon

"We stopped by here when we had an awkward 30 minutes before an appointment, and just wanted to sit at a comfy bar for drinks. First of all, worth walking in alone to just view the beautiful and historical architecture. Just a really gorgeous space. We got two seats at the end of the bar and got two drinks. I got an incredible and unique cocktail with tequila and cardamom, while my partner got a draft beer. The bartender was really attentive - he ran out of bitters just as he was making my cocktail, and checked in with me about the wait. Just a little touch of generous hospitality. Everyone there was also very welcoming and appreciative of us stopping by just for our drinks. I'm always self-conscious about taking up space at a high-end restaurant when there's a chance of people waiting to order food, but the whole team made us feel very welcome despite our short stay."

"Nice ambiance. Delicious food and beer. We came for lunch and I got the seafood chowder soup and my husband got the seafood grits. I highly recommend the soup. It was phenomenal. Service was great. Will be back."

"We stopped in for a late lunch. There was one other table there. Baked mushrooms were excellent. French onion soup was okay. French dip sandwich was the winner of the day. Pork belly Bahn Mi was good but would have benefited from a bit of moisture in the sandwich (a spoonful of my wife’s au jus helped immensely). Was a bit disappointed that the french fries didn’t come out screaming hot. Service was okay."

"Such good food and atmosphere! Right on the corner with big windows great for people watching. The salmon caesar salad was so yummy along with the mussels, sauce amazing! Friends enjoyed their meals as well as pictured. Drinks were well. Definitely on my list for when I’m back in town!"
