Top Shelf Group is a Hospitality Management Company that owns and Operates The Gryphon.

The Gryphon is a Meat & Raw Bar Social House.  The food experience is meat-centric with a heavy emphasis on beef.  But the menu includes a variety of options for pork, lamb, seafood and, of course, an outstanding oyster based raw bar that includes shrimp, lobster and clams. 
  
Our philosophy, is to bring out the experience of enjoying the meats and other food on the menu through two things:  The Preparation - such as curing, grilling, broiling, roasting and aging; and The Presentation - EVERYTHING is plated to share or “pre-cut.”  We encourage all of our guests to order with that in mind.  

In a nutshell social dining provides ours guest with exceptional food and drink (specially crafted cocktails, selected beers and wine) and puts them together in a lively, fun, and energetic atmosphere at the Gryphon.  The Gryphon is our “house” and our guests should feel as if they were invited to a well planned neighborhood dinner party with their closest friends, family and neighbors.  To us, this is more than just getting food out at a restaurant, it’s the experience of dining together and being connected to one another through the food and drink.  Hence the term, Social House. 

As such, sharing is the aspect that completes the dining experience.  That experience is incomplete without friends, family and neighbors.  As the owners, when we dine, we typically do so in a large group.  And we typically order expecting to share our food and drink with the whole table.  Effectively, the food and drink connect us to one another, and we are connected to one another through the food and drink.  So, we wanted to bring our style of dining to our guests at the Gryphon.   

Here at the Gryphon we encourage eating and drinking to socialize and socializing through eating and drinking.
