The Corner Grille - Upper West Side

This was place is too cute! I can't wait to go back! Black own biz showing out! Well seasoned food! Great service. Lovely ambiance! Everything about it was giving exactly what it was supposed to. That calamari babyyyyy. Usually I go for a crunch but that sweet chilli sauce was soo bomb I didn't even need it to be crispy because flavor was on point . The French toaasstttt . Listen here. The way I demolished that thang!! Sheesh. Bread . Crisp. Sugar . Sweet. Ahh too many words yet no words at all. Simply amazing! That gumbo bowl thingy. Chile i don't remember what it was called but it was that just right level of spicy and goooddtttLast but certainly not least dem Beignets came straight out of Princess Tiana's kitchen Mkk. HOT and Fresh! I couldn't put em down! Drinks was at the right drank level if you know what I mean and yeaa show love to the Corner Grille! It's Worth it!

Perfect evening out from start to finish! We walked in and immediately felt welcomed. We were very impressed at how seamlessly the staff worked as a team, attentive to all guests, even as the restaurant filled up with a Friday night crowd. It's an art to check in with guests gracefully - and to time each course perfectly- and they have mastered it.My Paloma was delicious! The best cocktail I have had since we moved to Atlanta- graced with fresh orange & lime wedges and a spicy Cajun rim. I usually don't like a rim but this one changed my mind. We ordered the fried Brussels sprouts which came with lemon and a dip- they were crispy and NOT greasy, which immediately signaled that we had found a kitchen operating at the highest standards. My salmon salad was delicious- the salmon was juicy and moist inside, complementing the sweet mandarins, and fresh salad - the flavor blend was so satisfying. I let my husband share - now, that's love. My husband loved his po'boy- again, not greasy and the fish was moist & flavorful. We finished up with beignets- came to our table exactly when we were ready for them, and they were hot, fresh - and let me say it again -- not greasy, the dough was authentic, and not sweetened, all the sweetness came from the powdered sugar, as it should. As we were leaving we spoke to a couple at a nearby table, locals who wanted to know how we liked our meal. So, there's substantial- and well-earned- local pride. We will be back. And we definitely want to check out their brunch.

This is my favorite place to come on the Westside. The food is great (and they have healthy options) and the ambience is always so nice. It's not the cheapest place to eat but the food and service are definitely worth it. My favorite things to eat when I'm being healthy is the sautéed kale, cup of gumbo, and the lemon chicken entree. My husband loves the salmon opalusas (it's delicious) and also the fried fish and shrimp.

First time at this location - absolutely loved the modern, clean look of this restaurant they have indoor and outdoor seating options, friendly hostess who also happened to be our server as well. We ordered the shrimp and corn fritters as an appetizer and they did not disappoint- served with some tasty remoulade sauce - they were like hush puppies on steroids - soo good! I had the shrimp po boy - and kale,with onions and garlic as my side - loved them both - would have enjoyed at least 2-3 more shrimp on my po boy - but it was really good. My other half had the fried shrimp and catfish with coleslaw (amazingly tasty - very sassy with a little bite) he said the fish was delicious and I take his word he's a catfish lover and the batter is everything to him (cornmeal style) so I will definitely go back - it's the right combination of food, service and a feel good kinda place to enjoy a meal. The also have a location out in college park went there a couple of times a few years back and the food was always good there too. Go give it a try .

I enjoyed the conversation and the company that I had here. I ordered the shrimp and corn fritters (there wasn't any corn or shrimp) my date said it had corn and shrimp dust . Then I ordered the kale with onions and garlic, there wasn't any garlic taste just SALT!! It's a cute spot so I'll try it again but this next time I will order what my date got the shrimp Cesar salad (with nice siize shrimps.

We were curious about this small restaurant we'd passed several times to eat at other places. It was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the Grouper and my husband enjoyed the Lamb Dish. The service was good, too. We will eat there again.

*This review is for the Upper Westside location* The Corner Grille is a neighborhood gem!!!! I've been so many times so this review is long overdue!! The space is inviting and quaint. It boasts a nice size covered and uncovered patio. The decor is clean and simple. Love the single rise bud on the tables (I love roses). The food: the grouper over root vegetables is a must try!!! My husband loves this dish. Also try the kale and beet salad and the salmon Opelousas. So good!. I've also had the crab Benedict and the seafood omelette from the brunch menu. Parking: free parking. Can be limited depending on the time you visit. I typically go early so I've had no issues. Service is great! Everyone is helpful. Shaliah was my server on several occasions. She's nice. They rolled out RSVP for the westside location. Make sure you visit soon! Great addition to the Riverside/Bolton side of town!

Monday night dinner. It wasn't very busy so prompt service was no problem. Decor is cozy and I love the lighting. Onto the food. Had the salmon opelousas which was delicious!! I mean so good! My partner's seafood pasta was also quite tasty. Would definitely return! Parking is free with about ~20 available spots.

Good day yelpers, when I'm on a new side of town and looking to stop for a good lunch or dinner I tend to log into my handy dandy Yelp app and came across the Corner Grille and I happened to be right across the street. I head on over was seated immediately (inside was small but really cute btw). Sat down, was offered some water, given a menu and here we gooooo....I waited quite awhile before the waitress came over to take my order (must've been a pretty important conversation on her phone), with that being the case I thought it to be a good idea to give both the appetizer and entree I wanted to order at the same time. (Didn't want her to miss replying to whomever she was texting) I ordered the Shrimp Corn Fritters (which came out ridiculously quick from the microwave, yes I can tell the difference in something that was reheated vs freshly fried) they were extremely dark which meant hard I looked at some of the pictures I saw and the pics looked waaaaay better, I didn't bother to send them back although I should've, after tasting one and scooting the plate off to the side my entree the Salmon Opelousas came out just as quick (I didn't know what to make of it) the presentation was wonderful i was rather excited to see if it tasted as good as it looked. looks can definitely be deceiving! OMG I had such high hopes, like how (see pic for reference) look this good have ZERO FLAVOR! No exaggeration! I see tons of onions, mushrooms, crawfish and PARSLEY! I couldn't even say it had salt, Cajun seasoning or anything! Ughhhh. The rice had some crunch as if it had been refrigerated and placed in that good ole microwave for a good heating, my salmon which I asked for medium was definitely WELL DONE but again had no flavor! There was a nice looking older gentleman which if I were to guess came out to the bar and had a lovely conversation with two young ladies that he seemed to be familiar with and once his conversation had ended I was thinking he'd make rounds to see how everything was etc...NAH! After the two waitresses/hostesses had chuckled over a few videos that tickled them on their phones. I managed to get one's attention for a box (not that I was gonna eat the leftovers) and to cash out! The potential was there but the execution was not. Another bust for the BOB in ATL for me, one and done!

I have driven past the Upper Westside location numerous times and decided it was going to be a brunch stop on our tour. I've found my new home for Cajun specialties. The place is cozy and service was great. I love you can dine and actually have a conversation over soft jazz.
