The Grill at Signatures

Was a bit worried before walking in, thanks to the 2.8 average review. To my pleasant surprise, food was pretty decent esp. the appetizers. My soup & chicken strips are on par, so are hubby's onion rings. A bit too salty, but hit the spot for a light meal. You can reserve a room there for a group meeting/dinner, which is nice, i think. However, it's kind of odd that they now close at 8 p.m. considering it being on a golf course. Agree that service could get a bit confusing sometimes, but all's good in the end. Kudos also to the nice gardens outside, scenic view.

Spinach Artichoke: Topped with a house-made spinach artichoke dip, sauteed mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, balsamic reduction, and fresh mozzarella on a ciabatta roll $15What a unique burger! The artichokes were good sized chunks adding a nice texture. The mozzarella was thick and had a good pull. Wasn't aware that there were mushrooms or sun dried tomatoes on the burger. The burger itself had a good char and temperature. The ciabatta held up well through each bite. The service was a bit weird. Too many people doing the same job and yet not quite getting it done right. My friend ordered her cocktail from the hostess while I was still deciding. Water comes but no one takes my drink order. Our server came to take our order, my drink included, but it took about 10 minutes to get it-from a third person. And then more waters are delivered. The burgers arrive; we ask for ketchup. The hostess delivers, and then another server comes up with more ketchup. Too many cooks in the kitchen. It just felt awkward

Beautiful outside patio & view. Had a great Bloody Mary and a shrimp salad. Would definitely recommend. Kenzie was a great server.

Food was good, portions were large but service was not great. We were the only table and it seemed like there were at least 15 servers. You'd think that means service would be fantastic but unfortunately they forgot about us and we had to just sit there and watch them stand around. Their COVID precautions and food are the only reason we didn't give them a worse review.

Overall: Among the options in Winona, The Grill consistently delivers. It's definitely a casual place that checks all the boxes for a pub/grill type restaurant - tasty burgers, decent drink selection, and very reasonable prices. Minus one star for changing the fried pickles - the "chip" style fried pickles were definitely superior to the new version w cream cheese.Food: As already mentioned, I don't like the pickle switch. That said, all their fried app options have a super light and crispy batter that many others in the area get wrong. If you want it battered and fried, better make it worth the heart attack, and this place does. The cheese curds are on point! While not fried, they don't mess around with that zucchini app either--zucchini meets crab artichoke dip--can you really go wrong?The have a buy one, get one burger offer on Weds that can't be beat. I like the variety of burgers offered here as well as their homemade chips and french fries. Again, they really know what they are doing when it comes to frying.I've also had their salmon sandwich and their flatbreads. While not super inventive to this San Franciscan, as a Winona native, I appreciate their efforts to push the boundaries with both as well as their successful execution. The Grill manages to add a little adventure to the menu without taking it to far.Drinks: Very reasonably priced and great selection. They rotate the taps regularly for seasonal and different local selections (local being Minnesota/Wisconsin craft brews). The Basil Gin Martini (aka basil gimlet) is a solid pour, only reco is to lighten up or lose the simple syrup.Service: Better than Minnesota-nice, I have always found the service to be friendly, polite and pretty good. When it's missed the mark, they have usually made up for it in a comp or the like.Ambiance: Super casual, pub-style. It is located at what used to be the private, snooty golf club, so it has a nice view of the course. Pro tip: in the winter, they have a really toasty fireplace to sit near!Price/Value: Good sized portions, consistent quality (something many restaurants in Winona struggle with), and easy on the pocket book. Additional info: They have a room for private parties. If you made a large party reservation rather than booking the room, you'd probably get the room anyway and avoid the minimum charge.

This new sandwich the smoked salmon I have had twice and both times I would say it gives any sandwich I have had in my life a run for its money..I have noticed the last few times I have visited the food has really been on par ..really great stuff Goin on here

We were served raw warm gin as a martini, and a cosmo without liquor in it. Poor waitresses were taking grief from customers about the drink service, but the bartender simply wasn't trained for the job.We live local and have gone there frequently. The food is usually good, but it is spotty. They must have trouble keeping staff. You never know if you'll get good service or bad on any given night.If they don't have a bartender that can show up to work, they probably should just just close for the night. That'll probably be the last visit there from us.

Stopped for a small snack we had the cheese curds and the chicken strips with the chipotle dipping sauce which was delicious

We've been going to the grill regularly now for a couple years. Over time the menu hasn't changed much and it's starting to get a little boring. How long can you have the same two soups on a menu?The food is good and presentation is nice. The servers are generally very good. Wait times for food have increased significantly as it has gotten more popular. They need to do a few furniture updates. Some of the tables are getting beat up. The Grill has the potential of being one of the best places in town but it needs some attention.

Don't bother. Waited an hour for our food. Waitress never came back. Found out our order was never put in. Waitress didn't even remember us. Manager needs to be fired. Tables were not cleared and we were seated at a dirty table and had to stand and wait for someone to clean it. Will never go back. Very poorly run. I had to give one star to get this to post. It deserves no stars!
