The Green Leaf Grill

One of the better place to eat in the area. Good food and pleasant staff. Higher end restaurant. The only thing keeping it from 5 Stars is consistency. We have had occasions where the service took approximately 45 minutes, even when we were the first group to arrive. Overall good food.

Ordered the tasty kidney bean and corn veggie burger. It arrived in 20 minutes and came with delightfully thin house-made potato chips, sprinkled with a bit of salt and sugar. Nice atmosphere at lunch time. Restroom needed a bit of help (minus a star), but the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the food arrived quickly. Good experience overall.

Called first to make sure they were still serving since the restaurant would be closing in an hour, once we arrived it took 15 minutes to get seated, the hostess needed to clean the tables and there was 5 free, we were seated and we patiently waited for a server to show up, 10 minutes went by, 15 minutes went by, during this time we were passed multiple times by several servers, the hostess finally noticed we hadn’t received drinks and still had our menus. I overheard her tell a waitress then that we were her table, she exclaimed she didn’t know, although she had walked by our table a couple of times, the restaurant was NOT busy, most of the customers had finished eating. After hearing this we got up and walked out, never been so disappointed with the lack of customer service ever. All I had wanted was to have a nice Mother’s Day dinner at a local place I hadn’t eaten at before. I will NOT go back this place clearly is disorganized, improperly run and bad customer service.

What a great find! An unassuming spot downtown with tremendous food! Beer selection is all local and craft. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Try the ginger beer!

Edit 5/10/2018, the review I posted before is not visible, it has been reposted below. I came here with my girlfriend for a birthday getaway. It was later in the evening but still fairly busy. The staff: The staff were very polite. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our orders promptly. The venue: Fairly nice, live music and decent lighting. The booth we were seated in was falling apart though, very rickety. The food: We originally ordered the stuffed chicken breast and the lamb rack with a side of oysters. After several minutes our waitress returned and informed us they were out of lamb. No big deal, I ordered the grilled salmon. Several minutes the waiter returned again "we are out of salmon". At this point it felt like we were trapped in a Weird Al song and all I was going to get was a box of half starved crazed weasels. I ordered the duck instead. When the food came, we were shocked by the portion sizes, and the stark presentation, and not in a good way. Portions were small, and it looked like they had slapped the chicken and duck on a plate with the sides, while blindfolded. When it came to eating it, it was not much better. The chicken was very dry and the stuffing had very little flavor. The duck was just duck, it was average and nothing spectacular. The oysters were very small, and for the price, very disappointing. The sides (we asked for spinach instead of fries) was over salted and had a very strong seasoning that overwhelmed everything (Old Bay maybe? MSG?). The salads were OK. Summary: When we walked in we did not know what to expect. The restaurant has many good reviews, so it had to be decent right? Wrong. The Green Leaf Grill is a sad representation of Cajun food and a disgrace to southern food in general. The mediocre quality of food served here coupled with the exorbitant prices is exceedingly disappointing. To give you perspective, we stopped at a gas station after leaving and got some cheese and beef jerky (because we were both still hungry), which not only tasted better but was also cheaper and of better quality than Green Leaf. Take the extra 20 minutes and drive to a restaurant that will serve you a decent meal, and will have the ingredients for what is on the menu.
