The Grill at 1951 Begins an Exciting New Chapter
As of June 28, The Grill at 1951 has temporarily closed its doors to begin something we’ve never done before—a summer dedicated to renovations, improvements, and giving our hardworking team an opportunity to recharge.
This is the first time in our history that we’ve closed for an extended summer break for renovations and vacations, and we’re making the most of it. When we reopen, you’ll experience the same exceptional dining, live jazz, and hospitality you’ve come to love—along with improvements and exciting updates that will make your visits even more enjoyable.
Mark Your Calendar: Grand Re-Opening
Thursday, September 10, 2026
We’re thrilled to announce that our Grand Re-Opening will feature internationally acclaimed saxophonist Eric Alexander performing with the Jim Holman Trio for an unforgettable evening of world-class jazz and exceptional dining.
Whether you’ve been a loyal guest for years or have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to visit, September 10 promises to be a truly special night.
A Fresh Look, The Same Commitment to Excellence
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be making enhancements throughout the restaurant as we prepare to welcome everyone back this fall. While we’re excited about the improvements, one thing won’t change—our commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience with outstanding food, attentive service, and some of the finest live jazz in Southwest Florida.
We’re also introducing new live music hours beginning with our Grand Re-Opening:
🎷 Live Music
5:30 PM – 8:30 PM
These updated hours will allow guests to enjoy an elegant evening of dinner and live entertainment while making weeknight outings even more convenient.
Reserve Early for Opening Night
Our Grand Re-Opening is expected to be one of the most anticipated events of the year, and seating is limited.
We encourage you to make your reservations early and join us as we celebrate the beginning of an exciting new chapter for The Grill at 1951.
