- LLynnBaltimore / Maryland •14 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were there on the first night of the new menu. Thai shrimp appetizer was delicious, crispy shrimp with a nice kick to the sauce. I had the blackened shrimp papardelli With wilted kale it was absolutely delicious l generous portion I took a bit home. Love their focaccia bread. It was our adult son’s birthday we were given complementary limoncello pumpkin shots(sounds a bit weird but no lemon taste)they were delicious! He also got a free dessert of his choice. He picked tiramisu and it was really good as well. Overall, can’t wait to go back.More infoGrille620$$$$• Contemporary American• Ellicott City•4.7
