Granite Restaurant And Bar

The food my wife and I had was absolutely out of this world amazing. The executive chef Matt went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our meals. I had the the seared scallops and my wife had the salmon. The bartender Natalie was amazing as well. Everyone we met was friendly and a pleasure to deal with. If you want a nice elegant dinner with amazing food and service this restaurant is a must.

We went here for Thanksgiving, and it was an amazing experience. The dining area is on the smaller side, but it had great atmosphere, and the pricing was reasonable. Definitely a good place for a special occasion! The chef was very attentive to dietary restrictions(gluten/celiac) and they were able to provide an excellent meal for everyone. The flavors were great, portions were perfect, and I found myself very full at the end of the meal. We would definitely go here again. The food and the staff were incredible! Thank you for an awesome dinner!

We came back in 2019 for Valentine's Day. Again had reservations, but waited well over an hour to be seated. As before, the people, the food, the atmosphere, and my French Martini was great. We stood at the bar for a while, because drinks are not allowed in the waiting area. Then seats at the bar opened up and we were able to sit down. We had great conversations with people we met and the bartender, Cory, was excellent. We finally were seated and our server was friendly, attentive, and our meals were perfect. My suggestion, if you are making people wait that long to be seated when they have reservations, and you are already charging exta for the experience, and have failed to deliver on the package ... offer them a complementary drink as compensation. I have not changed my rating from last year, but was tempted to drop it down, as the price paid, there was no excuse for the delay in the seating for us and many others. Sometimes the experience you have includes the attitude you bring with you. (Me) Below is my first review. First visit here. It was Valentine's Day, but we had reservations, so we were seated promptly. Not sure if they were short staff, but our wait between ordering and receiving anything was very slow. Most items were great. I ordered the 8oz filet, and my husband ordered the duck. He said mine was the better choice, and I would agree. The oyster selection was very good as well. The dessert champagne cake was moist, but nothing spectacular. The 2012 malbec was just opened, I was told. But the temperature was too warm. But the French Martini was very well made. Overall a great expierience, but over priced for the experience. My suggestion try this place when it is not a set price per person.

I am so glad that the Granite has finally reopened. By far the best restaurant in the Concord area, and I would argue one of the best restaurants in the state. My husband and I were eager to dine here again as soon as we heard it had reopened, and we were not disappointed. We went on a Saturday night, and although the restaurant was busy, it never felt loud or cramped. The atmosphere is so warm and relaxing, and the restaurant really absorbs a crowd incredibly well. The food and the service were both incredible. The staff were apologetic and explained that they were short staffed that night, but the service was so good and we were having such a good time that we honestly never even noticed. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We can't wait to go back!
