Recently came here on a Friday night for a family member's birthday. We got here around 6 and there was plenty of room for our group of 14. The restaurant itself is warm and cozy. The menu isn't too extensive, but they do offer specials as well. For a starter and share plates, we got Caesar salad, various breads, mussels, and buratta. I absolutely loved the buratta and I highly suggest that. The mussels come in a cream sauce and are very tasty as well. For my main, I got the ribs. Unfortunately for me, the ribs were slightly dry and didn't have much flavor. I did make use of the sauce that was provided and it helped with the flavor. The coleslaw it came with was decent. I ordered a side of mac and cheese which was nice and rich. Overall, most of the items we got were great. I'm not sure if it was a one off time where the ribs were kind of dry, since I've seen reviews saying it was great. Kat was fantastic and super welcoming. Their in-house music can get a little bit loud, but it's a nice addition to the ambiance.

Good for families and small groups. There is plenty of seating in a well lit hall. People usually come for the live music at night. Brunch menu is pretty standard - omelets, salads, sandwiches, and Benedicts. They have a good wine menu and some cocktails, too. Would recommend the Benedicts and omelets. Crab Benedict was good, though crab portion was a bit small and crumbly. Fish n chips were fresh but I wish they were filets and not strips? Good thin fries though. Mimosas were a good brunch add on.

Delicious food and friendly staff. I went back 3 times within 2 days. I was there on Wednesday and Thursday and there was live music, not sure if it is every day. See some before and after pictures, that's how good the food was. I don't know why they were not busier.

Everything was delicious! Visited with my father for his birthday lunch and I was rather nervous because he is very picky, and yet he left very happy! We ordered the Brussel sprouts, beet salad, grilled shrimp skewer, grilled mushrooms, fisherman’s stew, and the NY steak and we shared everything. I had a cucumber gimlet and it was so refreshing. So tasty and filling, we were not disappointed! We hope to be back during a live music set

This is a great place with a great selection of drinks, and dishes. The atmosphere is all encompassing and will change according to the tone of day. It may include live music, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking is limited to street, but we have never encountered any issues finding an empty spot within a block.

10/5 the food was amazing, the staff was kind and welcoming, and they are environmentally friendly (Green Business Certified). What’s not to love? I’ll def be back. I’m vegetarian and ordered the bread and dill soup, local Eastern European dishes and it was all amazing quality

I can only say amazing things about the Broadway Grill. We ordered the BWG Negroni and the Rainiy Days cocktails,  absolutely amazing! We started our epicurean adventure with the Mushroom Skillet,  and it only made our expectation of our main dish almost impossible to reach. We shared the Brodway Burger and that expectation I mentioned was blown out of the park. First we need to start at the quality of ingredients the produce was fresh and excellent quality. The freshly ground beef from local butcher was perfect. Then to combine the onions and beef being cooked to perfection we felt if we had a taste of heaven. We had also upgraded the dish to onion rings and trust me I dare you to find anything comparable. To end our adventure we share another BWG Negroni and the seasonal apple crumble that was topped with the purest vanilla ice-cream you could ever have. The staff was beyond amazing, they provided the most attentively friendly service that made this visit truly special. When bringing the ambiance into the combination of the amazing food and service, you truly can feel relaxed and realize you have been transported to not only a special place but a special moment where you have enjoyment of the people around you and yourself. From the beautiful works of art, the decor, and the live music this place is not just special but a true gem. To the owner Asta and your partner Ziggy please continue to be the wonderful people you are making those special moments for your guests. We cannot wait until we visit the area again and the Brodway Grill will be one of the main destinations.
