The restaurant, which combines seafood, steak and Italian specialties, opened about a year ago in the shopping center space that had housed Charlie Brown's Steak House. It received a single star from Newsday’s Peter Gianotti, who praised its eggplant Parmigiana, steamed lobster and “excellent filet mignon, big and tender,” but found the crabcakes a bit short on crab and the porterhouse somewhat chewy.
If you have had thoughts of eating at Grill 454, know that you only have a few days to get over there.
