Hello all,

Went to Grille 5115 last night and I thought it was great.  Had 7 pm 
reservations.  Wasn't crowded at all at that time but filled up as we ate.  I 
didn't think the tables were too close together as the Houston Press pointed 
out but I think they were talking about a row of tables for two along one wall 
that could probably get crowded.  We were two people who sat at a table for 
four and had lots of room.  The restaurant had a definite NY feel.  Big cushy 
chairs which were very comfortable.  Soft lightning and there was a guy 
playing the piano in the background. 

We started with a mushroom ravioli with a butter sage sauce appetizer for 
$9.50.  Absolutely heavenly.  Then we both had the veal scallopini.  Very 
thing huge portions served with a spinach fettucine with lots of garlic and a 
grilled tomato.  The scallopini was covered with capers, lump crab meat and 
dice tomatos.  It was wonderful. The veal was $15.95 which was one of the 
cheaper entrees.  I believe the most expensive was a seafood risotto for the 
evening's special was $23.00.  The evening's special were listed on a separate 
page included in the menu with prices listed.  I liked that much better 
instead of listening the waiter tell you with no prices.  We both had two 
cocktails that were $5.95 each.  Total for the evening was $67.62 before tip. 
Didn't leave room for dessert but saw the dessert tray which looked divine and 
saw a huge creme brulee that I would have to try on my next visit.  I enjoyed 
the evening, very relaxed and not hurried.  Thought the service was pretty 
good and I would definitely go back!  The restaurant would be a good place for 
a couple or a business dinner if you're trying to impress the boss or client.

Just a little FYI

PS.  Did you know there is a bar on the third floor of Saks close to the 
escalator that looks out into the men's dept?  Look very nice and would like 
to go back for a cocktail.
