History
Northwest Grille was originally opened by Don Regan and family in 1996. Immediately, head Chef Chris Fennell and team started transforming the tastebuds and seafood cravings of the Gainesville community. Almost 15 years later, Northwest Grille remains committed to its purpose of freshness and quality by hand-cutting fish daily. The difference can be experienced in every dish, including the made=to-order, hand-battered, fried seafood platters on the menu. We continue to be inspired by our local Gainesville community, from seasonal, organic foods and sustainable Florida seafood to our local artists. Supporting our local economy is important to us and inspires us to continue to partner with other local businesses such as our current ones: Jose's Tempeh Shop, Sweetwater Coffee, Ponce's Bakery, and more!
Specialties
We specialize in fresh seafood, from shellfish to fresh tuna, grouper and mahi- right here from our Florida and Gulf waters. For meat lovers we have hand-cut steaks and locally made tempeh and vegetables for vegetarians. To round out your meal, we have a fine selection of white and red wines, a full bar and homemade desserts.
