What's not to love! Ask anyone and they will tell you my favorite restaurant is Global Grill. The service is superior. The food is beyond amazing. I moved from the area over 5 years ago but still make my way down for dinner annually if not more. Global grill never disappoints! read more

Very nice restaurant with great waitstaff Some creative delicious items and others that miss a bit. We loved the tuna. A newer item with scallops had too much pesto that overwhelmed the flavor. The waitstaff was friendly and advised us well regarding the amount of food to order--3 -5 of the small plates for a tapas-like experience. The crowd here is about 50+ and they have a large bar. There were a few families. If there is a concert downtown, you will need a reservation. read more

Global Grill is a must when you are in Pensacola. The food is delicious and so creative! The staff is always so professional and on point. We go here so often and they never miss! Try all the tapas and their specials! The ambiance is cute and not too loud. read more

Consistently is key. Global has the best food in Pensacola and their quality never wavers. Great ambiance and delish cocktails as well!

Really wanted to like this place being locally owned. Maybe we ordered wrong based on the other reviews, but don't understand the hype. Waiter was great and drinks were nice, but food was terrible. We got the crab cakes, tuna, and a couple other tapas. All were bland, not impressive, and not worth a second visit. Disappointed.. read more

The food is consistently incredible here. The brussel sprouts are life changing- trust!! I didn't even eat brussel sprouts before Global Grill. We usually try one of the tapas specials but you can't go wrong with the menu. Lamb lollipops and crawfish cheesecake are standouts. The vibe is vibrant and lovely but still perfect for a date night. read more

The best food I had in a while. I had a small salad with some grilled shrimp, my fiance had the steak and we had the creme brulee for dessert. I really want to emphasize how good the creme brulee was. I have dreams about it. The crust was so nice and burnt and the custard was perfection. We unfortunately don't live in town, but next time we're here we will be back. read more

I met the manager (Frisbee--excuse me if I got that wrong!) during a night out, and he had such great things to say about the food that we made a reservation on the spot. I'm so glad we did -- the food absolutely did not disappoint, and neither did the service. The drinks were made perfectly, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I'd definitely love to come back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Global Grill - Watermelon pork belly on a slaw with spicy peanut sauce mirco greens - New American Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Global Grill did not disappoint! The wife and I along with friends (total of 6) enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Reservation for 530, we arrived several minutes early and were seated immediately. Our waitress, Samantha, was very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Throughout the table, we ordered NY Strip Steak with mashed potatoes and veggies x3, Filet Mingon with mashed potatoes and veggies, Sesame Tuna with mash potatoes and asparagus with a tempura crust, Lobster Wontons and Chile Rellenos. We finished off with Carrot Cake, NY Style Cheesecake, and Gooey Center Spanish Chocolate Cake. A very enjoyable evening with great food and friends. I forgot to take pictures of everyone meals; however, I was able to find most through yelp and IG. The picture is identical to our entrees. Enjoy! read more

I'm super glad this restaurant isn't claimed on Yelp. I wouldn't want an owner or manager or anyone to see this review. It brings me great shame to not support this long-standing stalwart, fine-dining restaurant in my home town. But after trying amazing food in bigger cities, and even just-as-amazing food in Pensacola, the Global Grill has got to be better. Everything about the ambiance and the service was perfect, actually. A beautiful dining room with a classy-looking bar and giant windows looking out at the hustle and bustle of Palafox Street, particularly beautiful when it's all dressed up for the holidays. And the server was on point. Our glasses were never empty, and he was quick to make realistic and good recommendations on what we should order. No issues here. Now for the food. We looked at the entrees they offered, and decided to order just a bunch of their hot tapas, two off their regular menu, and two specials they were having that night. Lamb Lollipops (Israeli Couscous & Sun Dried Tomato Jus). The flavor here was very good, but the cuts of the lamb were everywhere, very irregular. And the sides of the chops were seared to an overcooked degree, hiding the beautiful medium rare they are probably supposed to be. Pork Tenderloin Medallions (Espresso & Chili-Rubbed, Chorizo Gravy, Apple Chutney). Again, very good flavor. Love the espresso/chorizo combo. But many, these poor little medallions were killed and turned basically into pork jerky. Super sad. Another one we had was a scallop special they were running, with a cream sauce and some noodles. The chef must have been frustrated with how many things he was killing, so these scallops were actually undercooked. I've never seen that in all my days. Now actually, the crispy fried red snapper special we got was really good. It was served with some sorts of rice and creamed spinach. And it was super delicious. Actually cooked very well, and I loved the spinach/rice combo. It felt very homemade, but still elevated. Then it was time for dessert! Gooey Centered Spanish Chocolate Cake (Housemade Basil Ice Cream, Pecans). I loved the sweetness of the cake and how it played well with the basil ice cream. I know the cake was supposed to have a gooey center, but dang, could it at least look like a cake and not a smattering of racoon dung? Anyway, as hard as this review was to write, I had to tell the truth. Global Grill was one of the pioneers of fine dining in Pensacola, but the lack of attention to details in the kitchen has certainly lost them a customer here, Especially with two amazing amazing restaurants less than three blocks from them. So sorry, Global Grill. Rest in peace, my old friend. read more

Pros: The location and the views absolutely cannot be beat. Right in the heart of downtown, with giant windows showcasing the beautiful Christmas decorations on Palafox. It really was super nice. The service was great. We were very well taken care of. The menu sounded really great. Tapas, when done well, are a great way to try many different things from many different categories; meat, seafood, veggies, pasta, etc. Cons: The execution was lacking majorly. The slicing of the meats was weird and uneven. The cook on the meats was very off. My first undercooked scallop ever. It was just way off for the kind of restaurant this place was trying to be. Tips: Go to the Union Public House instead. But if you have to come here, get anything they have with red snapper. That one was amazing. read more

I've been coming to Global Grill for years and it's always a pleasure. This time, we ordered some items that were not my favorite. Namely, the lobster wontons and chile relleno. I'm not a fan of wontons to begin with, but my dad wanted to try and I still didn't like it. The crunchy to filling ratio isn't good and the filling was too creamy. The chile relleno tasted very Mexican, which was to be expected based on the description, but I just didn't like it. The other 3 dishes were lovely. The lamp lollipop and brussel sprouts are a GG classic and never go wrong. The scallop special was delicious and unique. The beet risotto was on the bland side, but the scallops themselves were fantastic. Our server (I think his name was Mark?) was sweet and attentive. He came by the table enough to make sure we had what we needed but didn't feel rushed or overly attended to. The ambience is calm and quiet with artwork by locals on the walls (which are able to be purchased if you like!). read more

Went here for dinner and everything was AMAZING! The ambiance here is classy. I love how the menu is diverse in flavors. I literally have nothing negative to say about this place. We ordered a boat load of appetizers for the table of 10. My entree was the potato crusted fish (grouper) and the tuna skewers were my favorite. For my drink, I chose the French 613 which was a unique twist of the French75. I took a slice of cheesecake to go because why not. This place does a really good job at satisfying your taste buds while providing quality service. I am overly satisfied and cannot wait to return in the future. THANK YOU, Chef Frank Taylor and the rest of the Global Grill team!! read more

Service was very nice , our server made sure we liked the wine before he got us a bottle and even told us all the prices instead of just giving it to us! The food was so good !!

I'll be honest, when I read the menu online, I thought it looked disjointed. I was confused... ignorant even. I had relatively low expectations going in, and I was blown away by just about everything here. Our server, CJ, was incredible. He described things so well, he could've sold me a whole cow. He knew the menu inside and out and built a solid rapport with all of his tables. He was funny and honest and seriously on top of his game. We were well cared for. The food was great. I didn't understand the vision for the menu before, but Global Grill enlightened me. We only got tapas: the mushroom salad, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, calamari, tuna steaks, and crab cake. We also got their white chocolate & Baileys crème brûlée. The stand out items were the asparagus, Brussels sprouts, tuna steaks, and creme brûlée. This is a really great date night spot. I'm a sucker for tapas; I think they're so romantic. I am considering making my bf (pictured) take me here for our anniversary. read more

First time at this restaurant ... I've passed it on several occasions downtown. I'm glad my friend had her birthday dinner here because the food was really good. We ordered tapas to share ... the variety was fabulous. The waitress was friendly and the food came out fairly quick but we there when the place was not full yet.

Where do I start. This was a splurge and so glad we did. We had a couple of the specials, drinks, appetizer, and dessert. My husband and I were with another couple and had to extend our 3 hour parking another hour because the time just went so fast. I say that because we didn't feel rushed one bit. They weren't trying to get us in, ordered, and out. Fried asparagus was great and the maple syrup sauce was so different and good. My husband normally doesn't get anything on his steak but he went with it and was pleased with the sauce on top. My Mediterranean red snapper and pasta was perfect. Ended the night with creme brûlée yum! read more

Such a flavorful place. The place has a awesome team and staff behind it. Very welcoming every time I go.

We were in town for our annual fantasy football draft weekend. Normally we are a little further easy. But to accommodate one of our diva league mates, we decided to move it west. Another one of my league mates found this place for our tradition Thursday night dinner out. This might not be fair to Global Grill, but all I can do is compare it to our other Thursday night spot that always exceeds expectations. Don't get it twisted, this place is great and should not be missed if you are in Pensacola Beach. But if I compare apples to apples to our other upscale casual place, the price and food were not on the same level. Just the same way I compare fast food restaurants on the same scale. I do the same with these type of places. Is it the same as a Chick-fil-a meal? Not even close. This place is much better. But in comparison to similar restaurants, it was just a notch under. We got a lot of small plates that were good, but not great. My steak was really good. But price v. quality was the most suspect part. Again, this was a great experience and might be the best in the area. I just don't know since I rarely come to this region. Definitely try it if you are in the area. read more
