    Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. There was a mistake with our reservation, but it was quickly and appropriately handled. We had a great time and even pushed back our dinner reservation last minute so we could enjoy more time over drinks and listening to live music. We will absolutely be back.

    Had a nice time but the vocals on the pianist were way too loud, and he played every song at a super high tempo, which sounded ridiculous
    Grapes & GrainsResponded 5 days ago
    "Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you had a nice time overall, but we understand your concerns about the pianist's vocals and tempo. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us fine-tune our entertainment to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be addressing your feedback with our pianist to ensure the volume and tempo are better balanced in the future. We want to create an atmosphere where everyone can relax and enjoy the music without feeling overwhelmed. We sincerely hope you'll consider giving us another chance. We'd love to welcome you back and make sure you have an amazing experience. We are committed to making your next visit a 5-star one. Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you soon!"

    Food was great. Filet was cooked perfectly, Parmesan fries were amazing and chopped salad was also really good. Loved the ambiance except the huge TV’s everywhere. It would be nice if they hid them somehow for the dinner hours because it just ruins the feel of the experience.

    "Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your meal so thoroughly. We're especially delighted that your filet was cooked to perfection, that you found our parmesan fries amazing, and that you loved the chopped salad. We take great pride in the quality of our food, and it's fantastic to know you appreciated it. We also appreciate your kind words about the ambiance. Unfortunately Grapes & Grains doesn't have any televisions in the space. Just amazing live music and wonderful cocktails with a great wine list to go with our dining menu. We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience, and we hope you'll join us again soon for another delicious meal. We look forward to welcoming you back!"
