GrillMarx Steakhouse & Raw Bar

WE LOVE MIAAAAAA. Came here for Valentine's Day and yes yes yes ! The food was great- I got the fish of the day which was the rockfish. And it slapped! My bf got the steak and he loved it. The place is cute with a calm playlist and a cute drink menu. And if you have a birthday come here bc they have a cute dessert! Romantic lighting but not too dark. But let's get into Mia! She's so nice and she pretty. It's Valentine's Day and a bad server coulda broke the experience. But she knew the menu, gave recommendations, had charm and character and just made the entire experience just pleasurable. ThanksMia and GrillMarx for an amazing valentinesDay!

My expectations were exceeded! I was craving steak, but not a lot of food, so when I saw they had steak kabobs as an appetizer as well as a salad with goat cheese, dried cherries and candied nuts I was sold to try it for last week's Date Nite (TM).When we arrived, I got a bit nervous because holy shit the parking garage is expensive (the building is near UMD campus and hosts a hotel and convention center as well)! But, fortunately, the restaurant validates parking. I wish I'd seen that in a review so that I could have skipped the "I'll pay as much for parking as my meal" moment. Phew!I was driving, so I ordered a not-rum punch mocktail. Hubs ordered their version of an old fashion (smoky, I believe). He liked that they used the fancy cherries. My mocktail was just ok, probably will stick to soda next time if I'm driving.But the food is where it was at for us. The steak kabobs are marinated perfectly, so flavorful, meat was super tender and delicious. Tasty grilled veggies help fill up the kabobs and they were presented on a bed of lettuce and pico de gallo. Honestly, at my current appetite, I probably would have been fine with just the appetizer though most people would need a bit more.Hubs and I split the salad... which was freaking huge. We took 3/4 of it home, no lie. It was delicious though. All the ingredients worked really well together and the balsalmic reduction was lovely. It's definitely better at first meal than leftovers as lettuce will get a bit wilty over time. I think if we were splitting this *and no other food* it would have been the right portion for us. But Hubs also got a bacon cheese burger of some sort, which he enjoyed a lot, so that's why we had so much salad leftover. We did not get dessert that night, we were too full.Prices aren't cheap, but they give you a lot of food, no "two bite" appetizers here. Appetizers are the size of my normal meal, entrees are 2-3 meals for me. But steak doesn't keep well, so I'll stick with the appetizers. I will be dreaming of those steak kabobs for awhile and will probably request we come back here again for date night soon, and maybe I'll make him drive next time so I can try a cocktail!

Decent place to eat close to campus with a classy vibe. Prices are quite high, but portions are big so you'll likely be taking home leftovers.My group got the crab and spinach dips for appetizers. The bread that came with the crab dip wasn't that good, but the dip itself was spectacular. Spinach dip was good as well and came with chips. I also got the non rum punch mocktail which I highly recommend.For entree I got the mushroom ravioli with salmon. It was very heavy and filling, with plenty of mushrooms in the sauce as well as the mushroom-filled ravioli. The dish itself was spectacular, but I would've appreciated some fresh veggie to go with it to offset the heaviness.For dessert I got the creme brulee, which was delicious.Service was fine. We came on a day when they weren't super packed, so we were seated right away and could actually hear each other talk.

We enjoyed our dining experience. We made reservations and parked in the garage attached to the hotel. Our server Mia was awesome! There were a few big dinner parties that evening but we received our food in a timely manner. We enjoyed the artichokes and fries as an appetizer. Fresh and hot. I enjoyed the pork loin and grits. I wasn't a fan of the green onions because it was too much in the grits for me. I enjoyed the texture and flavor of the grits. The salmon and tortellini was edible. Nothing special about it to me. The apple crisp was decent. I would have preferred the texture of the apples to be firmer. It was mushy like apple sauce but a thicker consistency.

The cuisine was satisfactory, our waiter was punctual and attentive to our needs. My fiancé and I visited on a Tuesday, which facilitated prompt seating. The beverages were excellent. The ambiance was pleasant. The noise level was minimal, allowing for effortless conversation and enjoyment of each other's company. I had hoped for slightly dimmer lighting, as I was seeking a romantic evening with my partner. However, considering it was a Tuesday, Grillmarx was not overly crowded. Overall, I was pleased and would return

The food and drinks were really good. Was kind of surprised. Service was also good. Would definitely go back to try more.

GrillMarx was a fantastic experience! Me and the family went for my brother in law's graduation. We had a great experience and here is what we ordered:Apps1. Sherry creamed mussels (5/5): really good mussels with the sauce and comes with bread to dip in!2. Oysters (5/5): Really fresh and recommend it if you are into oysters3. Caesar salad (5/5): the best Caesar salad I have ever had Entrees1. Fish sandwich: fresh grilled fish with a good coleslaw on top! 4.52. Kona steak: Cooked to perfection! 5/53. Pecan salad with chicken: great dressing, tortilla strips, everything paired really well. 4/54. Chicken & Prosciutto: well cooked chicken with asparagus with prosciutto with balsamic dressing on top. Solid but the worst of all the entrees ( good choice if you are eating healthy!. 3.5/5Overall great experience and the service is amazing! Constantly had service workers ask if we were okay or needed anything! Will come again!

Nice ambiance, spicy margarita tasted watered down but was pretty. The poke appetizer was amazing!

This location is located inside The Hotel in CP. The garage was easily accessible and you are able to enter the hotel through the garage. It was fairly easy finding the restaurant on the first floor. GrillMarx validates parking so that was even better.The set up is modern and also slightly elevated. It's a nice spot to just get together with some friends over dinner.We started with crab dip to share for the table. There were 4 of us in total and it was a large enough portion to share- it came with chips and a precut baguette. I would say that the dip was pretty good! I'd recommend it. For my entree, I ordered the pork tenderloin cooked medium well. I was very disappointed with the dish. The meat was beyond overcooked to the point where it was dry and tough. In addition, there was no flavor and just tasted like char. The side that the dish was supposed to come with were grits, but I received risotto instead? It tasted good though, but I would've liked the grits or at least told that it would be substituted. One of our friends ordered a chocolate cake dessert to celebrate recent accomplishments for 2 of us. The cake was pretty good and it paired well with the ice cream and other treats on the dish. The service could've been better. We hardly saw our server and it made it difficult when we needed him (i.e. requesting more water, another utensil, the bill, my drink). He was nice, but I would've appreciated more attentiveness. I've only been here this one time. If I come back to this location, I hope my experience is better.

I just spent $70 on one meal. The boneless ribeye was 90 percent fat, corn I paid $6.50 was only 1/4 cup size and the mash potatoes were good but also small amount. Was VERY disappointed. I can't believe I just wasted $70 on FAT.
