Grinberg San, Tel Aviv

I used to be a regular at this restaurant in the Azurei Chen neighbourhood in TA’s northern reaches. Having heard of the new menu and new chef, we hastened to visit again after a short break. What a disappointment. It was difficult to choose at...all from the new menu, on which the old favourites have not been replaced with any appetising new ideas. The food was indifferent, the service only so-so. I’ll give this one amiss for maybe a year while they (hopefully) get their act back together.More

Grinberg used to be a relatively casual neighborhood bistrot which we used to go to (and order from) quite frequently. Recently they hired celebrity chef - Roschfeld - in an attempt, I suppose, to move the place more upscale. The change was reflected immediately in...higher overall prices, and some (totally unnecessary) changes to the menu. What turned us off, however, was witnessing how rudely the esteemed chef was treating a family (grandmother, father, granddaughter) seating at a table next to us. Apparently, they weren't satisfied with what they ordered. But instead of the waiter apologizing and removing the dishes, the chef himself stormed out of the kitchen, muttering something about "these Israelis", grabbed their dishes and disappeared. They were stunned, and so were we. Though this chef may have a reputation for being "volatile", I see no reason to volunteer being on the receiving end of this attitude. Simply not worth it, and we're not coming back. We may, however, still order, occasionally.More

We had visited the restaurant quite a lot in the past, and were not really happy the last two times. But we heard that there was a chef change, so we returned again. And what a difference it was. The food became somewhat more expensive...but much better, and we were very happy.More

A very pleasant family dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed yet the service was excellent, very attentive and kind. The food was exquisite for adults as well as kids. Loved the sea food and fish dishes. Will definitely return!

We have been frequenting this restaurant for quite a while because of its convenient location. Since our last visit the menu changed. It has less choices and it became more expensive. As for taste, average. We reserved a table weeks in advance to a certain...time. They had it wrongly listed. Even though we had textual evidence, half an hour earlier than the texted time to leave, they simply threw us out in a rude and at the same time aggressively polite way as they had probably overbooked. The food and the staff lack the finesse of a fine restaurant. There are so many other places ...More

This place used to be amazing, and a couple of months age the chefs changed and the quality of the restaurant changed the same way, and not in a good way. The appetizers are nice but the main courses are standard minus, and not worth...the high prices. I ate the French-burger and it wasn’t some thing special, a regular burger served on chopped (and uncooked) potatoes with a nice red wine sauce. In the desserts the apple crumble and the Irish croissant bread pudding was good, but the biscuit cake was bad, it had an strong taste of instant pudding powder.More

This place used to be good - good food, not cheap but worthwhile. I was back there last month and was very disappointed - most importantly, the food was mediocre at best! The menu had changed, the dishes we had loved there are mostly gone....We were told a new chef had joined them, an Israeli celebrity chef very well known here. We ordered different dishes and were extremely disappointed with the food. NOT COMING BACK (after having been there quite often over the past few years).More
