My wife and I are major foodies, and have eaten almost everywhere 'high-end' in the Cities. La Grolla is top 3 (and I can't think of the other two). AMAZING specials (especially the meat; the lamb, the filet, hmmmm...), great pastas, the scallop appetizer! We've been several times now (as I want to make sure to vet it before writing a review). It is very dimly lit, nice for romance. People are right, the tables are close, but the space isn't big and it's always packed...so you have to be ok with that (it's never been a problem for us). Service is great, one night there was a hiccup and the waitress completely made up for it!
Pros: Food, ambiance, parking
Cons: Tables can be a bit tight (especially when crowded evening)
