| - This was not our first experience at Grape Street, but it may be our last.
We made reservations for a party of 5 a day before we went to dinner. When we arrived instead of being given a table that comfortably sat all of us, we were given a 4 top with an extra chair uncomfortably added on one end... next to the bar.
Being right next to the bar it was very loud. A couple of men were making a commotion over some sporting event on the television. Had we wanted this experience we would have gone to a sports bar. As it turns out, one of the men was apparently some sort of staff member as he went around later and loudly asked some other tables how things were. We may let this slide had the restaurant been busy and we had just shown up without a reservation, but there was another section far from the bar that was almost entirely empty.
The appetizer that we ordered, the tapas platter, was a good appetizer to share with a small group such as ours. The Chilean Sea Bass and the jumbo ravioli were great dinner choices.
On the other hand, the chicken parmesan left something to be desired. The chicken was good, but the sauce was god-awful. It was way too sweet and acidic. It tasted like it came out of a 99 cent can. This dinner platter came with a side of spaghetti that was cold and stuck together drenched in the inedible sauce. This platter was also supposed to come with a salad that I had to remind the waiter to bring out.
My wife ordered the salmon burger and she expected something similar to a fillet of salmon on a burger. Instead she got what looked like a crab cake made of ground salmon. This in and of itself was not bad, but when she asked the waiter to box it up for someone else in our party to take for lunch tomorrow, he assured her that she would like it. He should just be doing what she asked not trying to coax her to eat something she didn't want to eat. Again, this was no fault of Grape Street -- aside from maybe not describing it in the menu better -- but they should not be trying to force something on someone who clearly didn't want it.
When we received the check a gratuity was already added despite any forewarning of such policy. Furthermore, it was not listed clearly on the check and our grandmother who was paying for the meal nearly missed it.
Overall, not a great experience at Grape Street, which is sad because we have had better experiences previously and thought that we wanted to come back. Not so sure about that now.
