Colt & Gray

We had dinner here tonight before seeing a show. If I could give 4.5 stars I would. I had the duck and my husband had the filet. The duck was good but the filet was amazing. It was so tender that you hardly needed a knife and it was perfectly cooked. I had Brussels Sprouts as my side and my husband had the rosemary crispy potatoes. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and very savory and crispy but not over cooked. The potatoes were crispy, but we couldn’t detect the rosemary and they weren’t nearly as good as the sprouts. They have an option for the bartender to create a custom cocktail based on your preferences. I had two drinks made this way and they were both so good. I tried a different one the second time because I was feeling adventurous and it was just as good as the first. The restaurant has a smart casual dress code but it clearly isn’t enforced, which brings down the ambiance of the restaurant. We were dressed very nicely because we were seeing a show afterwards. While we were eating, a group came in wearing jeans, hoodies, and beanies.

Had the most amazing experience at Colt and Gray last Saturday nite. Outstanding charcuterie including the house-made duck prosciutto. Bone marrow was an indulgent fatty treat atop their plentiful warm bread. The cioppino was very flavorful and reminiscent of a long past Bay area memory, a tomato and peppery broth with crab claws and corvina that tasted like it just arrived from the pier. My colleague's thick cut aged strip steak was cooked perfectly and was served with a silky bearnaise. The finale, a velvety fig and honey cotta lingered on my tongue. Special thanks to our server Dan! Can't wait to return for a steak, or perhaps the duck--there were so many delectable items on the menu I was sorry to have missed out on!

We had a great first-time dining experience at Colt & Gray. From start to finish the service and food were impeccable. We had a larger group so they sat us in a separate room right next to the fireplace. Before we even sat down we had a number of Charcuterie boards on our table with some beautiful cheese and some type of prosciutto-style ham. Everything was super yummy! I ordered the salmon and it was hands down one of my favorite pieces of salmon EVER! It was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. I would have a hard time ordering anything else next time it was that good. Others at the table shared the prime rib which they said was amazing as well. There were a number of desserts ordered too. By far my favorite was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. We left stuffed and happy and ready to go back again.

We had seven happy diners last night. The lamb was delicious, the streak think, the rump tasty and the pork tenderloin. The vegetables complimented well. The atmosphere had a high end feel to it. Perfect place for a romantic night out.

By far the worst service I'd had at any full service restaurant. Our server was not knowledgeable in regards to spirits and details of the menu. Definitely wasn't attentive we'd she her every 20 minutes. 40+ minutes in between courses. Had to get up multiple times to get the attention of the manager and request things for the table. The food was decent, hard to enjoy after everything that had happen. Management made not effort to apologize, acknowledge the wait or lack of service. Wrote the company via email but never received a response.
