| - I remember visiting this place when it was called "Grape Street," but that since moved to Downtown Summerlin. It looks exactly the same, so I'm unsure whether or not it's the same owner.
I love the atmosphere! It's as if you're dining in a rustic wine cellar. It really adds to the experience. But this isn't an HGTV show, so let's get to the food.
Grape Vine's calamari is some of the better calamari I've had; tender, but not chewy, with just the right amount of breading and seasoning. Their mushroom risotto is HEAVENLY! It comes as a side dish with the lamb chops, but honestly, next time I'm asking if I can have an entree-sized portion, it's THAT good! The lamb chops are good too, but nothing amazing. You get six (three pairs of two) which seems above average compared to most places offering this dish at a similar price.
If you're not eating gluten, they have a few meat options that include potatoes and vegetables. They also have a gluten free pizza crust! (But I have yet to try this)
One of Grape Vine's unfortunate weak spots is their pasta. I've never seemed to enjoy it; it's always too sticky or too gummy--almost overcooked, but I can't tell if it's done intentionally or not.
The price is a little on the higher side, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Get some calamari, some risotto, and try a few dishes for yourself!
