The White Chocolate Grill

Local team review
The truffle mac and cheese — cavatappi in a three-cheese sauce with black truffle oil and toasted breadcrumbs — is the dish that turned a skeptic into a regular. It's indulgent without being heavy, and the truffle is used with enough restraint that it enhances rather than overwhelms. The Asian chicken salad with crispy chicken, mandarin oranges, and sesame-ginger dressing is the lighter counterpoint that proves this kitchen can do more than crowd-pleasers. Save room for the namesake white chocolate bread pudding: warm, gooey, with caramel sauce pooling at the bottom, it's the argument-ender for dessert.
About the Restaurant
The White Chocolate Grill has carved out a comfortable niche at CityGate: polished enough for a date, casual enough for a weeknight family dinner, and consistent enough that regulars don't need to look at the menu. The kitchen navigates between cedar-plank salmon, hand-cut steaks, and truffle mac and cheese with equal confidence, and the wine list is curated with more thought than most suburban American restaurants bother with. The namesake white chocolate desserts, especially the bread pudding, are the sweet closing argument.
Insider Tip
The white chocolate bread pudding is the dessert that named the restaurant, skip the menu and just order it. You'll understand.
