I have been to Griffins before and liked the food a lot. The food is good but the dessert buffet really is the star of the show here. What prompted my visit this time around was that they have a promotion going on. Click on the link below to view the dinner menu.
I thought sweet deal, this makes the price of things really reasonable. When we got there, they asked us if we had a reservation. I didn't.... my bad. The host told me next time to have a reservation, but the place was empty. After we were seated it took me a bit of time to decide as everything was 50% off I could finally order the nicer things instead of a burger and fries that another table got. I decided on the mixed grill. It included chicken, lamb chop and beef tenderloin, market salad & thick cut onion rings with chimichurri sauce. The steak was alright, but the lamb was nice and tender. I'm not big on lamb but it was very good.
I didn't take any pictures of the dessert buffet as I only picked up two items. For $17 it was a good deal for a nicer place than your regular chain restaurants.
