Global Grill

Global Grill is my favorite “fancy” place in town. My girlfriend and I recently went for our anniversary and it was such a good experience. When we wanted to move from the room where the large parties were (it was very noisy) they happily moved us somewhere closer to the bar.

The tapas are the best part, I’d even recommend just getting the tapas, as I think they’re more worth it than the entrees.

The tuna cubes are probably the best raw tuna I’ve had in Pensacola. The yellowfin tuna is so so good (especially with that sweet potato hay) and the tempura fried asparagus is to die for.

I had the most amazing experience at this restaurant. The ambiance was so beautiful and the service and food were top-notch! Eric, our server was very informative and was able to give us suggestions on the food and drinks. He made us feel welcomed, which made my birthday even more special!

This was our 1st time here! I have always walked by this place a million times, but never tried it assuming I would not like it.

We had made reservations and was seated right away. There wasn't much options for vegetarians, but thankful that my friend was willing to be a vegetarian as well, so we tried different plates.

Our favorite was the olives and cheese plate! The Brussel sprouts was not exactly what we expected. Our waiter was nice enough to take it off....if you like crispy sprouts then don't order this.

Dessert was my favorite. Never would I have thought basil ice cream and chocolate cake would be good together.

Make sure to make reservations because the place stays busy. If you are a vegetarian and super hungry, you might want to try a different place. I would highly recommend this place if you want something different, a great environment, something romantic and bougie....

10 out of 10! The service and atmosphere were amazing but the food stole the show. We had the lamb lollipops, Tempura Asparagus, and the Gooey Spanish chocolate cake with basil ice cream. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back soon.

This was our first time dining here. Met with a few friends before attending a local concert.

George, our server, was quite attentive as he eloquently conveyed the specials. All of which sounded fabulous. Another server came behind him, making sure all of our drink glasses stayed full, and cleared things away as we emptied our plates.

I chose the Lobster Cheesecake 🦞 😋
Delicious!!

Mom had their Chili Relleno. She owned 3 Mexican restaurants in California. She said the flavor was spot on!

Hubby had New Orleans BBQ 🍤. They were HUGE, tender, and juicy. Cooked to perfection.

Mom and I also had their specialty drink... "Community Business District" Cocktail
Highly recommend!!

The ambiance was elegant, warm, and welcoming. Clean,

We're definitely coming back. Everyone (owner Jane and manager Steven) we spoke to was friendly and made us all feel right at home.

Almost forgot! We also had Creme Brule`e.

Global grill has to be the best restaurant in the panhandle (imo).You can definitely tell this is a chef owned restaurant. As someone who has worked BOH in many kitchens over the last 8 years, it is evident in every bite that the cooks/chefs in the global grill kitchen are extremely talented and care about quality. Everything we ate was so delicious and beautifully plated. This is my new favorite place to eat, I’m sad that I’m just now trying this restaurant for the first time. Mark/Marc delivered spectacular and attentive service as well. There’s not a single bad thing on the menu. The drinks are stellar too, the roman mule is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had!! Well worth every penny.

Anyone visiting pcola should check out GlobalGrill if you want great food and great service! This place is absolutely amazing! We had the crab wonton, the fried asparagus, the new York strip and the ribeye. The service was awesome! We will definitely be back!

My all time favorite place to eat. My husband and I go here a couple times a month and it is always amazing service and the best food. I love how none of the plates match. We always order anything they serve with their grits….there amazing. We also love their filet and carrot cake with pumpkin ice cream. I love a good martini and theirs are the best. I always order the Katrini, with basil and grapefruit. Ask for CJ he is our favorite!!

Global grill was amazing! This was my first time dining here, and I was not disappointed! Everything was made to order with fresh ingredients. The tapas were all divine. I hope to be able to visit again soon.

This is by far the best tasting restaurant in Pensacola that I’ve been to and probably I’ve ever been to. I finally got to try the lamp lollipops, which were seasoned to perfection. But the Israel couscous was out of this world (sorry- took the photo after we dug in). For our entrees, I had the pesto tuna and it was cooked beautifully. The pesto was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The creamy tomato sauce was heavenly too. I had polenta for the first time and it was everything I had hoped for and more. My husband ordered the NY strip and it was worth every penny (ignore the lamp lollipop bone, I told you the food was delicious!). Service was top notch too. If you haven’t been, make your reservation! 💜

We had a fantastic meal of appetizers and tapas. We went with the scallop dip special (amazing), the savory lobster cheesecake (wonderful), the creamy NOLA BBQ shrimp (delicious) and the lamb lollipops (lil chops, which were better the last time we had them.) We had some excellent wine and cocktails and our server was knowledgeable, quick and friendly.
Can't wait to come back with friends or for another special occasion.

Wow this place did not disappoint! Our best meal this trip. It was recommended by everyone we asked. Bob was a fabulous server. Epic from start to finish. We are from Las Vegas and all in the service industry. All of us can be quite critical but this was the best. It will be 1st on our list when we return!

We decided to spend the night in Pensacola on our way to New Orleans. We had driven more than nine ours from central Florida. We decided to find a restaurant close to our hotel and walked about five blocks on Palafox st and decided to enter the restaurant without any reference. It was an amazing surprise. We had no reservations but we’re lucky. The receptionist was very friendly and got us a table. We decided to have some tapas and Bob was the best waiter we have ever met: friendly, acknowledgeable, and extremely polite. We had the lollipop lambs (very well cooked and seasoned. The couscous was from heaven. For sure the best I’ve ever had and we would definitely repeat); the scallops were very good too although it’s not my favorite seafood, and we also had the pork tenderloin medallions were perfectly spicy and delicious. We had a bottle of an Argentian Malbec from Mendoza which was also very good and we couldn’t resist the crème brûlée with berries. I definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back soon. Fair price.

This was our first time here and we loved it! The food was amazing and our server, Mark, was wonderful. It was a little pricey but appropriate for a once in a while special occasion.

Always love this place and Jen our server made it even more special. Great place

First time visiting Global Grill. Came to celebrate two birthdays. Made reservations and was seated on time. If you want a nice fancy dress up type restaurant this one’s for you! They have a awesome menu full of tapas cold or hot. Nice to order and share with the table the different menu options. They also have nightly specials that are amazing. Our waitress Paige was nothing but wonderful and punctual with anything we asked. Explained all the menu items we had in question, and was prompt with drinks we ordered from the bar. I was craving a steak and just so happen to be on the special for the evening. 12oz center cut wagyu ribeye cook medium rare. Come on a pile of mashed potatoes and steamed veggies! Enough to feed two adults! Was a great first time experience and will definitely be back on any special occasions! Beautiful downtown area to walk around after dinner!

We loved our experience there and getting to know Jen was such a special treat! What a gem you have in her!! The food was excellent and the chef was so helpful with our dietary restrictions! We loved the front room area - cozy and unique! We will definitely be back and look forward to catching up with Jen❤!!

This is our favorite restaurant to visit in Pensacola when we come over for a concert at the Saenger Theater. It never disappoints. The lamb tapas plate is to die for! We also tried the tuna cubes and they were phenomenal.

Great food with amazing atmosphere! We had dinner here this past weekend and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend making reservations but we totally lucked up and got a table for two walking up on a Friday night. Totally recommend the brussel sprouts for an appetizer. Both of our meals were great but I have to say hat the sauces that were used make the meal fabulous. For sure will be back!

We decided on dining here to celebrate our anniversary after visiting the Pensacola Museum of History. The area looked a little busy, so we parked along North Palafox on the north side of Garden Street. Easy walk to the restaurant allowing for light conversation and a chance to take in the sights of downtown.
There was a little confusion in our reservation, but we were promptly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant gave a nice relaxing atmosphere creating a personal space at our table. Bob was our waiter for the evening and was very knowledgeable of the menu taking his time to explain the specials, give an overview of the menu, and to offer a little information about the restaurant.
We opted to start the meal with the scallop ceviche tapas that was bursting with color and rich in flavor. Our main course was the Wagyu ribeye that was perfectly cooked sealing in the flavor and tenderness. With such a generous portion of food between the tapas and the main course, we opted out of dessert for the evening.
Overall, it was a 5 star dining experience for us given the great service and excellency in food quality and preparation. It was the perfect setting for our special celebration.
