As soon as we walked in I heard kids. I specifically pick restaurants where I am not subjected to ther people's children. I was very sure this fine, upscale restaurant would not have children shrieking and running about. My mistake.
Service was superb, food was mediocre. The prices would make one think the food was delectable. My Mother in Law's bresded chicken was hard and she was unable to cut. We sent back for a new meal. Need I say how important it is to please the always unhappy Mother in Law????
We walked in and was immediately seated. The seating was very comfortable and the waiter came over right away. The waiter was very patient and professional, we didn't feel rushed either. After we ordered, are food came out within 15 minutes, very hot and fresh. My girlfriend got pasta with sausage, not over seasoned, but to perfection. I got a burger, which was fantastic, it wasn't over cooked, the bun was soft and fresh. The fries were out of this world.
Overall I was over satisfied and would definitely return. The environment was quiet, with the amount of people in there I expected it to be more noise, but with the spacing it worked out well. I ended up tipping the waiter $40 because the service was just that good.
I do plenty of reviews and I am very honest, I looked at the previous reviews and was worried, but it turned out to be one of the best restaurants I've been to.
Hi Edward, So glad to hear you enjoyed everything! We look forward to hosting you again in the future, and have passed along your feedback to your server. We greatly appreciate your continued support! Thank you, Sara Irrig Asst. F&B Manager
Three in the group. Seated in compliance with CDC guidelines. Table was very small in size and chairs were as well. Most women had to place their purses on the floor. Seat could not accommodate an average size person and a purse. The back of the chair was not designed for that either (we get it, may have had to get new furniture to accommodate this crazy virus - I don’t know). A few errors with what was ordered and what went on the bill. Overall the food was good and we may return post-COVID to see if things are different.
The food was absolutely amazing. HIGHLY recommend the bruschetta and chicken cutlet
Was sub par. The ambiance was the best thing about it.
Nice outdoor table, fast service and pleasant server. Nice night.
The atmosphere was really nice and private but the food was extremely salty and that made it hard to enjoy
dined on patio. good spacing and fresh air and heater! food and drinks great and good service overall.
Burger was supposed to be medium well but was very rare. Drink was taken away before it was even finished.
Excellent food, and service was top notch. We especially were impressed with the bartender, Eddie, for his friendliness and timely service. We will definitely return!
Grappa NEVER disappoints. My partner and I bring all of our friends and family here! So hard to choose off the menu- everything is amazing! Gluten free options for every menu item and gluten free bread, specials, dessert! This place is incredible!
And the last one day in October we reserved a table for outside. We ordered a bottle of wine and appetizers. The appetizer special was a tuna tartare over avocado salad and wrapped in cucumber...which was outstanding. It was served with crostinis. Later that evening we had dinner which was also very good. Even after the sun went down it was warm oenough to sit outside and the fire was lit near our table. I love this place! The service is spot on... checking on you just often enough to take care of your needs. It's a summer favorite spot. I have also enjoyed the happy hours inside when things were "normal." Looking forward to those times again!
Enjoyable time. Hotel has done a good job at keeping Grappa open. Food was tasty and service very pleasant
Excellent food, very good service. Menu choices are somewhat limited, but anybody should be able to find something to their liking.
My wife and I went for dinner having only been there one other time for drinks. We were not disappointed. Plenty of parking for the Resturant and we were seated immediately in a nice table next to the window. The food was fair priced and very delicious. The best part of the experience was the service. Rebecca was very attentive and on top of things. The bar was running a little slow but instead of ignoring us she kept us updated and was all over it. It was overall a nice time and we will for sure be going back. Very cool place.
Great open space! Food amazing! Server, wonderful! Inside and outside dining to accomodate covid guidelines.
Always an amazing experience. This restaurant can not get enough 5 star reviews. Updates to the menu are always amazing!
Excellent waitress. Food was very good as was the outdoor seating experience. We enjoyed the experience and would not hesitate to come back.
Beautiful outdoor eating! Cute fire pit and ambiance.
Exceptional experience. Excellent all the way around. Definitely coming back! And soon.
I come here all the time and have never had a bad experience! I eat gluten free and the staff are all well educated and aware of allergies. Always great specials and a solid menu! Will always come back to this place!
Our server was great. Gluten Free pasta was amazing.
Good food, slightly limited menu, great service. Clean and spaced out dining
My friend and I had such a lovely evening at Grappa recently. We dined outdoors on the charming deck and enjoyed excellent service from our server, Sara. Our food was outstanding! We will definitely be back.
it was a very nice experience. we sat on the patio which was very clean and comfortable. the menu is pretty limited but the selections we made were very good.
They did a nice job with distancing and cleaning tables. The pizza was great, as were the fries, but my veal parm was just okay.
Food was great. Nothing super complicated or fancy but solidly good. We had the special pasta with capers, tomatoes and anchovies; pizza; and burgers(both sweet and plain potato fries amazing. The gin Cocktail with elderflower was amazing. The outdoor area is charming and nice and service attentive.
We had dinner outside at Grappa. Everything was great - the beverages, pizza, past and dessert!
Grappa is always a good time. The food was great and service was perfect !
Outstanding drinks. I usually go for happy hour. The white pizza is by far one of the best I’ve ever had. Nice atmosphere inside but outside seating is also nice for a small group of people. Definitely recommend.
Server was great, nice socially distant table and pleasant outdoor dining
Sarah is an amazing server, made our day! Thank you for doing your job so well. Every server should take some lessons from her!
I've been to Grappa more frequently for happy hour, but their dinner never disappoints! Their staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. I love their outdoor patio too, it's such a nice setting. One of my favorite date night spots!
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Service was great and food was delicious.
Our server Erica was phenomenal. The food was good, but for the price point, I expected a little better. The calamari was very good. The burger was ordered med rare and it was med to med well. But, it was delicious. The carbonara was ok, but very heavy and unimpressive. The tiramisu was unique and delicious. More than enough for two. Our service was fantastic.
Such amazing food! Highly recommend the wings! Our server was so fun and sweet
Our second visit. Outside both times. From the front door to our table, everyone was super friendly. Not rushed at all. Food was excellent. I would highly recommend to others.
Perfect cute place for a date night with beautiful ambience, food that taste divine and very friendly staff.
I placed a special request to them to get a cake. Once the food was complete, they made sure to amaze and surprise us with cheese-cake.
Such a great place for drinks! The atmosphere was comfortable and the food was delicious.
This was our second visit (over two years) and the issues that were there last time remain. First, the food is very good and well prepared/presented. Our server was great and TRIED to make our visit more pleasant, however
We had made a reservation noting that we were celebrating a birthday. The table we were given was on the hallway to the bathroom and near the conference room in the restaurant. It was also in the bar area. It was a 6-top that was broken apart for the two of us. Note that there were plenty of other tables in a much more private set up available, and remained open our entire 2+ hour meal duration. A three person party was shortly thereafter seated in the other 4-top of our split 6-top.....with all the other open tables. The party in the bar that began after that spilled over to just a table or so away from us. Clearly the ambience for the occasion was lost. Important to note that although we not in suit and dress, we were well attired.
Our meal was clearly delayed for what we told was a party that was taking the attention of the kitchen. This could be somewhat understood IF the three top sharing our 6-top had not been fully served and completed their meal before we received our meal.
If you wish to order a carry out meal, the food is quite good. If you are looking for a place to enjoy the meal, go elsewhere.
