    Grape Vine Cafe is a very nice Neighborhood Italian/Mediterranean Restaurant and Wine Bar located near or in Centennial. Their menu is mostly Italian but is also accented with some Greek and offers a nice selection of meats and seafood. Inside is rich and comfortable. They also offer a nice partially enclosed dog friendly patio. For our first visit we decided to try lunch (M-F). There is a lot of offerings on the lunch menu. They also happen to offer at least EIGHT different salads that all sound delicious so I thought this would be a great choice to dine here. Even at lunch time they started us off with fresh baked tasty bread and creamy butter. My husband wanted to try the soup of the day and tried a soup called Toscano. It was a creamy soup with sausage, potatoes, and kale and he said that it was very good. We decided to try the baked brie appetizer because that sounded super tasty. The brie was embellished with hazelnuts, caramelized onions, apricot preserved, and was wrapped in a crunchy pastry crust. It came with sweet pear slices, grapes, and buttered toasts. It was tasty and substantial. It ran a little on the sweet side. I think some people could also enjoy this as dessert. For us this seemed like maybe four servings so we had half and brought the rest home. I tried the Beet and Grilled Salmon salad. They don't ask on how you'd like the salmon so I was a bit nervous about it but thankfully it came out reasonably good. The salmon was prepared well done but it was still very moist and didn't have that over cooked taste so that was good to me. The salad was very nice and freshly made. It was adorned with with generous pieces of cooked beets that were topped with goat cheese. The soft mixed green salad had fresh roasted red peppers and sweet candied walnuts so it was tasty. My husband enjoyed the Chicken Parm. He already wants to come back again. We were too full to even think about dessert. Our server was very nice, helpful, efficient, and friendly. It's so nice to find a new one for our local rotation.

    Our first time here and first thing we notice is that this is a neighborhood spot and a lot of regulars which was really cool to see! We ordered the baked Brie, yummy and the pastry pouch was unique, the penne a la vodka with shrimp, this was above average, the pasta shrimp was too seasoned for my liking and I like my pasta cooked al dente, which it wasn't here. And lastly, the sausage, onion, jalapeño pizza, which was not bad either. A bit on the sweet side for me, but I still enjoyed it. The service was great and very friendly. I really enjoyed the vibe here!

    If you're looking for a nice, quiet spot (we went on a Monday, 4:30, and for the first little bit were literally the only ones there) to catch up with a friend and enjoy yummy food, this is the place! We shared a bottle of half-off wine, and I had the chicken piccata--scrumptious! Add in the table bread and we were quite happy. Server was attentive and never rushed us, provided great menu recommendations, and was friendly. It had been many years since I'd been here, but will be back!

    It was a bella notté at Grape Vine. Better than I expected. Reservations were made a couple of days in advance. A special Valentine's Day menu was featured. A saxophonist highlighted the music playing to set a mood. The customer service, ambiance, and food were all excellent. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. I noticed Branzino listed on a menu posted on a wall. We shall return.

    We went to Grapevine for the 4-course wine dinner featuring Cakebread Cellars wines--- all for $125/person. And what a fabulous experience it was! We signed up to be alerted for the wine dinners.We were so impressed with everything: * We were warmly greeted at the door and led to our table * Our table was visited by so many people on the staff --- the owner, the manager, the servers, etc. Each one was friendly, accommodating and conversant. * There were several glasses for the different wines, and each pour was very generous * The menu for the evening was excellent. Wish I had taken more pictures, but we were enjoying the meal so much which started with the most luscious salmon appetizer, followed by heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese. Main course was perfectly cooked beef tenderloin. And dessert was a a delicious mango/guava gelato. Every single bite, taste was outstanding. * Very good choices of wines to go with each course. Having the sommelier on hand to give us a background on Cakebread Cellars, and say something about each wine was both entertaining and helpful. * AND! There were several raffle prizes (wine, of course). We are most certainly looking forward to the next wine dinner. But in the meantime, we plan to go and try their happy hour (3-5, Tues/Wed/Thurs 3pm-5pm, featuring half priced glasses of Wine & Beer and discounted appetizers). The menu for dinners as well as their happy hours is incredibly appetizing. As for the ambiance --- it's truly a wine cellar. There's a bar in the middle of the restaurant, and there are walls of wine bottles. For the most part, they like to feature California wines. Made in the USA, yeah!

    What a wonderful local find! I came here with one of my friends on a Friday and was so surprised by everything-this a wonderful restaurant. The service was spectacular. The sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the marinara sauce is all of that and so much more. I must admit I had a whole loaf of bread by myself, and ate it with this amazing sauce that went along with it. They have an remarkable selection of wines that pair very well with each dish. I definitely will be back.

    One of my favorite Italian restaurants in town (this location) because it reminds me of old Las Vegas where it was more about good meals and good conversation in a nice ambiance (if you know you know). This place has brick walls and a wine area that adds to its charm. The bar area is my favorite place to sit because you get a view of the whole restaurant, and the service is best there as well. The bartenders are usually very friendly and will strike up a convo with you. The rest of the service is subpar. Now let's get to the food. Let's start with, I've never had a bad meal at this location. Authentic Italian meals that are flavorful, rich and delicious. My favs: calamari, mushroom ravioli, blackened salmon Caesar salad, or fettuccine alfredo They will help you pair your food with one of their many selections of wines- there's a huge list and I've never been paired wrongly.

    We visited on Thursday for lunch with a party of four and it was a nice experience. We entered and were greeted and seated right away. The dining area is large and clean. The waitress arrived and took drink orders. We started with appetizers; Stuffed Shrimp and Baked Brie. Both were very good, be advised that the Brie takes a while to prepare. From there we went with Seafood Fra Diavolo, Baked Manicotti, and Mushroom Ravioli. All the food was excellent, the Fra Diavolo was the best I ever had. The side Caesars salad were also excellent. The reason they lost one star is that there was only one waitress and one busser for the entire dining room. The waitress was also answering the phone and getting takeout orders, so she was spread way too thin. There were excessive waits for refills and the check, I would suggest putting more staff on the floor. Overall, excellent food.

    Check out Grape Vine Cafe and their music venue. In addition to delicious food and wine pairings you will enjoy the singers that show up and keep everyone entertained.

    First time coming here and it's very cute. White table cloth but comfortable dining. People were wearing all different attire. Some dressed up and some people dressed down. We were sat in the very far back, right under the tv. I'm not going to lie... it made it not so cute n romantic. I wish we got sat somewhere with a light not shining down on us. The servers were awesome, very attentive with great recommendations. I was hoping the food would have been exceptional The food was a bit underwhelming. I hope it was just an off day for them

    Oh boy! I was so excited to try this place. We ordered the stuffed shrimp (which didn't come stuffed), we also ordered the mussels which we thought would come in a bowl like most restaurants, but it came with only six mussels which was very chewy and fishy, the calamari we ordered wasn't crispy enough too. Honestly, the only thing we really enjoyed was the clam chowder soup. The service was slower. I asked for a lemon with my beer and the waitress brought a lime. She didn't come back for a while so I had to ask someone else for a lemon. All in all, I didn't enjoy my experience and probably will not be back.

I shouldn't have to clearly hear conversations that are happening to the tables next to us. It was definitely a squeeze getting in and out of the tables without interrupting the table next to you. Our server recommended getting two plates per person. The menu isn't designed to have appetizers or entrees per se, so this menu seemed like it's kind of a tapas place or kind of not? If the plates aren't appetizers or entrees and they're more shareable, then why would we only get 3 pork ribs pieces instead of 4? The pork ribs had great flavor. it was crispy, tender, and fall off the bone at the same time, but it would've been better if they added one more pork rib bone instead of 3. The whipped brie with blackberry and honey was a bit disappointing. Even after mixing the whipped brie and with the blackberries, there were barely any fruit or honey flavor. All I tasted was salt. The brie was too salty with no taste of fruit or honey. Moreover, the brie came with 2 small pieces of toast, cut into 4 pieces. There was definitely more brie than toast, so we requested additional brioche toast. Of course we got charged extra for the toast. I just think the brie to toast ratio should be better. It seemed like the plate was 85% brie and 15% toast. How are we supposed to eat the rest of the brie when the toast provided is gone? I did not enjoy more brie over brioche ratio. We also got the burger and trout. Both shareable portions. The burger tasted like a slightly elevated Big Mac but saltier. Trout was good and cooked seared with a medium rare center. Flavor wise, the trout and pork ribs were my favorite. Also, the smokin petal cocktail was perfect. Overall, the experience here was just okay.

We ordered the pistachio goat cheese salad, salmon pasta , and the beet salad, and honestly it was enough for both of us. Everything was so good and I would come back just for the food. Service was great too. I also saw they have Sunday brunch and I will definitely be back for that. This place is easily at the top of my list now. Highly recommend!

    Another great meal and service at MEZZO's. Blossom and…read morehoney crostini is delicious and filling! The special was a huge cut of fresh halibut with a nice seasoning topping and base of risotto with spinach, grilled perfectly. Also a great parm pizza, cooked to perfection. The inside temperature is kept cooler than I prefer when wearing shorts!

    I don't even know how to properly explain how disturbing this experience was at MEZZO -- I'm still…read morehonestly in shock. I ordered a glass of wine to start, and it tasted off right away, like it had been sitting open way too long. So I sent it back and asked for a Cabernet instead. That part was whatever -- mistakes happen. But what I saw next completely crossed the line. The server took the SAME glass I had already been drinking from -- a glass I had literally spit back into -- and poured it into a communal pitcher that they use to make red sangria for other customers. I'm not exaggerating. My used wine, with my saliva in it, went straight into something they serve to other people. That's not just gross -- that's a health risk. Saliva can carry viruses like COVID and infections like herpes, and the fact that something like that could end up being served to multiple tables is honestly terrifying. There is no scenario where that should ever be considered okay in a restaurant. It made my stomach turn thinking about how many people could unknowingly be drinking from something contaminated like that. It also makes you wonder what other basic hygiene standards are being ignored behind the scenes. I've eaten at a lot of places and I've never, ever seen something this careless and unsanitary. Completely unacceptable. I will not be coming back.

    This spot as been across Boca Park for a minute, situated off of Summerlin Pkwy in the Charleston &…read moreRampart area, on the southwest side of the center. Plenty of parking when we went, between 3p - 4p not exactly prime time although at 110°F anywhere seems like a mission. We were seated right away. We waited like 10 minutes for a server. Whatever it was weird hours. The prices are pretty steep but well worth it to be honest. I ordered the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and it was really good, had just the right amount of sausage. The portion was perfect too, not overbearing or stingy. The dining room is a wide-open area, you can see the bar in front and the kitchen in the back, I like an open concept. Will be returning for drinks, looks like a chic spot to enjoy some premium alcohol and get a buzz on.

    3/5 Stars We came to…read moreNorth Italia with a party of eight, four couples, and overall had a good experience with a few misses. Service was outstanding. Our server was amazing, attentive, friendly, and easily the best part of the night. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern, although it does get pretty loud when the restaurant is busy. We shared several appetizers and most were excellent. The arancini and burrata salad were both great. The zucchini chips tasted good, but the portion was surprisingly small and they were very greasy and oily. I ordered the Bolognese with zucchini and pumpkin noodles, trying to be a little healthier. It was good and plated beautifully, but it wasn't very filling. My wife had the braised short rib Marsala, which looked great, and everyone else at the table seemed to really enjoy their meals as well. Across the board, the presentation was very nice. The biggest downside was the wait for our entrées. It took roughly 30 to 40 minutes for the food to arrive, which felt long, especially considering the prices are on the higher side. I finished with a double shot of espresso, which was nicely presented with a lemon peel and sugar cubes. I also didn't realize until recently that North Italia is now owned by The Cheesecake Factory. Overall, good food, excellent service, and a nice atmosphere, but the long wait, higher prices, and a couple of underwhelming items keep it at 3 stars for us.

    We visited for lunch on Saturday, with a party of two, and it was a very nice experience. We…read morearrived and seated ourselves in a booth across from the bar. Smoking is allowed, but the smell was not pervasive. The waitress stopped by and took orders, their margaritas are tall and strong. We started with Potato Skins, which were well prepared. We then went with a Golden Deuces breakfast platter and a Southwest Burger. The portions on the platter were generous and the burger was thick and juicy. There were many items on the menu that were crossed out. It appears they might have been out of steak and other entree meats. The waitress and her assistant were excellent. They stopped by often and were very personable. Overall, a great place for a bite and a drink.

    This was a good trip with my friend. So 3 stars? Let me explain. It was my friends first trip and I…read morewas excited to open the door and see what he thought. I was glad to see he really liked the overall look of this spot. As we sat and talked we picked out so many cool decorations. I even liked the slightly worn booth we sat at. It just kind of added to it all. Service was a bit slow. Several visits on my part have found this to be the usual. I had looked at the menu online to kind of get an idea of what I may order. I chose a dinner option. Upon ordering it was explained that they don't have those items. Becker needs to do some updates on their website. So I ordered the Golden Dueces breakfast with French toast and an extra egg. I got most of my order. 3 eggs with hash browns (done nice and crispy ) and French toast with fixings. For meat I got 3 sausage patties. Whereby the menu stated 2 sausage and 2 bacon. Another error. My friend got the massive double Fat Charlie burger with tater tots. And before I go further we did start with a tasty potato skin appetizer that came with ranch and sour cream. The food tastes good. I like the basic breakfast sausage taste to the patties and the eggs were cooked nicely over medium as asked. Oh yes and I do like crispy hash brown's over oily ones. They did them just like I like. Overall this was a very good visit because I got spend time catching up with my friend. I will say Becker Gaming kind of shot themselves in the foot on several other spots. Hopefully they can see this review and will listen to the customer.
