A night out before a show. Most of us have never been to Grappa. We decided to give grappa, the drink, a try. Our amazing waiter, Ryan, gave us a great education about grappa. It wasn't what we anticipated, and we were still curious, so he offered us all a tasting. The food came quick and was plenty to share and take some home. It was a little chilly, but other than that, it was a great place for a fun dinner.

We went on a busy night. The server was wonderful, but stretched thin between tables across the restaurant. Food came out very quick, well presented, and had lots of complexity and wonderfulness.

Great place! Loved the menu and atmosphere. The service was so slow and it was just two of us having a salad and app each so it shouldn’t have taken so long. We would still try it again tho!
