The restaurant is tucked behind some other buildings, but it's basically the southeast corner of Lake Mead and Buffalo.
It was not horribly busy when we showed up on a Friday night around 6:15p but it got busy fairly quickly. Â They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more.
It was pretty noisy, but I attribute that to people enjoying their dinner companions. Â :)
First of all, like some of the other reviews said, try the baked brie! Â It's awesome. Â
I had linguine and clams in white sauce and the hubs had one of the specials; braised ribs I think. Â Lots of clams on the pasta, the sauce was good. Â The braised rib roast was really good though, highly recommend. Â
We've been looking for a good Italian eatery and were very glad we tried Grape Street!
Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu!
I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 14 years maybe longer and have never reviewed. Â It is time. Â This last time was with a friend for a belated birthday dinner. Â We had a 50 dollar coupon from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a>. Â So we were definitely splurging. Â Started with a salad on the specials list, a dungeness salad with greens and mango salsa, we had them divide the plate between us. Â Delicious!!!! Â We had a a lovely Cava with the meal. Â Sooo good! Â
Dinner came with a soup or salad, we went soup since we had our salad already. Â Chicken curry, with lentils OMG the aroma alone was amazing. Â Difficult to not eat it all, but if I had I never would have finished dinner. Â We each ordered a fish special. Â Me the seared ahi, my friend an Alaskan halibut. Â The halibut was blackened with a spicy mango chutney. Â Ahi, seared with a soy ginger sauce, and a wasabi cream sauce. Â We each ate half and then switched. Â We both loved, both dishes. Â
Dessert was the fondue with fruit. Â YUMMMO!! Â Fabulous meal, great service... Â but a loser next to us who kept screaming at the waiter across the restaurant. Â The restaurant can't control it's patrons, but my goodness I was embarrassed for him and his entire table. Â Had to have screamed at the waitier and literally waved him down (arms flailing above his head) at least 10 times....... Â Grrrr!!!!
The baked brie is the only item you will ever need in your life. This is is there specialty dish and it definitely is the star. Grape Street starts by taking a wheel of cheese placing it in phyllo dough with caramelized onions and apricot preserve before folding it up and baking it. Served with pears, green apples, grapes and crostini makes for the perfect dish. I would skip everything else and just eat this with a nice glass of reisling. I would talk about the other appetizer and entrees we got, but they don't even matter. Alright, I might as well go over them briefly. The crab stuffed shrimp tasted more like bread crumb stuffed shrimp bites. The blacken salmon on top of the Caesar and Greek salad where delicious. They were cooked pass what I would like, but the flavor was good. The Greek salad was nothing special.
The service was good. It was attentive without being intrusive.
If you are looking for a non-inventive take on Mediterranean/American fare, Grape Street is for you! The food has quality ingredients, but there is not a whole lot going on here. Everything is rather standard. Not to say that it is bad, the food is decent enough, it is just plain jane. The wine list is solid, the atmosphere is pleasant, the service varies greatly in consistency, and the pricing is fair.
Review Source:I was shocked to see the relatively decent reviews on Yelp as I had a pretty awful experience here. While I don't actually know you, I respect you as my fellow Yelper and will not bore you with the details. Nor will I discourage you from trying Grape Street for yourself. However, I will never consider coming back. 'Nough said.
Review Source:Food was good. Service was terrible. Our party of 6 had to ask for things multiple times, from several waiters. When he came to drop off the check, he asked if he could get us anything else. I asked for more water. He dropped off the check and never came back. The whole table, including myself, laughed in just disbelief.
Review Source:Wow. What a a great find. This place was our second choice to celebrate my Mom's 50th birthday and I am so glad that we ended up here. I called ahead to make a reservation for 12 and when we got there we had asked for patio seating and they had the table all ready for us. It was nice too, because the sun was going down and they have lights all around the patio area. The service was great considering the amount of needy people at our table and the food was equally as awesome. I had the speacial that was Halibut. It was really really good. Definitely will be coming back to this place.
Review Source:My girlfriend had a Groupon for this place so we decided to use it on a weekend night. Â They wouldn't take a reservation for parties less than 6 so we weren't able to do a reservation for the 4 of us. Â We found some seats at the bar while we waited. Â Had a glass of wine and 30 minutes later we were seated. Â Ahhh finally. Â For 20 minutes more we watched waiters and busboys all around us zooming past our table in all directions. Â We had yet to be greeted. Â Finally we made the decision to go somewhere else. Â As we stood up and gathered our things we were approached by a waiter. Â We explained that by this time it was well over 20 minutes we had not been recognized. Â It was almost like we were in an invisible bubble. LOL -But it wasn't funny at the time.
The waiter JASON begged us to stay assuring us that the rest of the experience would be great and he put his word on it. Â He explained that there was some confusion with the tables and who had our table. Â Low and behold he stuck to his word. Â The people assisting him were completely attentive and so was he and we were back in our "have a nice dinner mode". Â He saved the day!!! Â Jason was totally consistent going forward and was a pretty cool guy to talk to. Â We were hoping we could buy him a drink after to thank him for the supreme service. Â Thanks Jason!
The bread was amazing-totally freshly made. Â The BF and I both ordered steaks (on special) and they were fantastic. Â They came with mashed potatoes and gravy. Â I don't remember what the others ordered because we were so in focus with our own meals. Â We also had salad with our meals.
A bottle of wine and no desserts our bill was $300! WITH the Groupon. Â Just a little pricey for a double date. Â BUT I highly recommend this place to take a one on one date though or a very special occasion. Â The ambiance is chill and romantic with the little white lights as a special touch everywhere and they have outdoor seating as well. Â They do not serve mixed drinks which a little bummer but their focus obviously is the wine menu. Â I definitely would recommend Grape Street. Â I do suggest that you should be able to make reservations regardless of the # of party and mixed drinks would be awesome. =) Â Ask for Jason - he will for sure take care of you!
Oh My God!!!!!  That is just the 3 little words to explain mine, and my husband night out for dinner.  We had a groupon to try this place, (we try to buy groupons for places that we have not heard about, and want to try).  Everyone should know about this place!  There is not one bad thing I could say about this amazing hidden gem.  We had great service from  Tony who greeted us right away.  He was super friendly, and answered questions we had about their wine, their specials, and any other questions we had.  He asked if we wanted water, took our order, and came back to our table several times to see how we were doing, or if we wanted refills.  Amazing server!  We got our appetizers, Bree cheese platter, and we also ordered the crostinis, both were huge, and so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about them.  For dinner I had the salmon, which came with ratatouille, and leek mash potatoes.  The sauce that came with my salmon was to die for.  My husband had braised short ribs, risotto, and spinach.  He said it was the best short rib he had ever tasted.  We both had a glass of wine too.  We will be back, it is too good not too!
Review Source:It's amazing how one person can change your whole experience of a restaurant! My wife & I have been going to Grape St since shortly after it opened. Usually one of the most consistent places in town, not many menu changes, pretty consistent wine list. So we will be back, wanting to support the place. So I'm glad that our experience there on Wed 4/24/2013 was not the norm!! Â The food was OK, but our server (Jason, I think) was quite inattentive & hard to "wave down"--it took the better part of 15 min just to get him back to order an additional item. He also seemed offended by our rebuff of his wine alternative suggestion when our first bottle proved unavailable & did not suggest the wine special (an Italian Pinot Noir) despite the first bottle being a Pinot Noir. His service otherwise was fine, including handling a Groupon. Â
Hopefully we will continue to enjoy the level of service & food quality that we've come to expect from one of our favorite, go-to places in town.
Like the previous review I also have been coming into Grape Street for quite some time. I came in with a first date Saturday night, and our server Bobby made the night perfect. When we sat down I basically let him run the show, he just said to "trust him"and he would make sure that we enjoyed everything. He started us out with this Burrata appetizer which was to die for, it melted in your mouth. Next brought out cesar salad another hit. First dates can be awkward and he did a great job entertaining us. For entrees he had ordered us two specials the Chicken Milanese, and Ahi Special. I have had them both before so when I saw them hit the table I knew my date would like them. Yes they were awesome. With the great wine he suggested and food we ate the night was great. I like coming to grapestreeet because you know what you are going to get, the servers there are very personal, and fun. Its not like dining at a chain restaurant where everyone is the same. Its refreshing to go to a place that has personality and a warm type of uniqueness to it. Â Thank you Bobby and Grapestreet for making my night great..
ps. The date went great, we are going on a second date.
Love this place! I've been going to Grape Street for over 10 years now. The food is always yummy. The wine is always excellent. The service is always 1st class. I've always had a very positive dining experience at Grape Street. Â Now, for items you must try: Baked Brie, Fried Calamari, Roasted Garlic Bulbs, Tapas Plate, House Salad (light onions), and finally... Bowtie Olivia. After a few of those items, I'm too stuffed for dessert.
Review Source:Don't go here with a pre-arranged large group! Â I am not the person to complain to restaurants about anything.. I normally just pay the bill an never come back if i'm unsatisfied. Our neighborhood club booked us for happy hour for approx. 30-40 people well in advance. Â The person who arranged it for us told the restaurant that we would need separate checks and they agreed. Â When we arrived, the server told us there would be one check per table but that we could each give him the credit card and he would figure it out. He claimed that that was policy, their computer couldn't figure out it per couple, and that our organizer was lying when they said the restaurant agreed to separate checks. Â
They didn't staff up for our large group and the poor waiter was extremely busy and dealing with too many tables. Â He did not mention the table tip of 18% would be on the total before the happy hour discount. Â There was no happy hour menu, nor was this gratutity published. Â We have done other group happy hours and we know this is common practice (paying tip on the pre-discount price, and that would be fine.)... however other restaurants have figured out the bills for us. Â
The tip on the total would also be fine if he had taken the time to tell each couple what they owed as he had promised. Â However he just gave us the bill and we had to figure it out. Â The bill was incorrect in that it came in at the total price. Â So he redid the bill. Â This time it came back with the beer charged at an amount different from the main menu. Â He agreed to take off $1 from the total but never did. A person in our group carefully computed each person's meal plus tax plus 18% tip.
The UNDISCOUNTED total for 8 people for happy hour came to $190 (we each had one appetizer and one drink....their prices are high on appetizers... for example a Caprese salad with 3 slices of tomato, 3 slices of mozzarella and a splash of basalmic vinegar was $13.) Â Anyway we each paid in, and the total check showed we still owed $10.32. Â We asked the waiter to figure it out, he refused. Â We recomputed our bill and we said we were right and we wanted to leave. Â He said he would call the police (can they call the police if you only leave 9% tip?) Â
Then he came back and said HE was the manager but he would "eat" the difference in the tip even though he felt it wasn't fair; which made us feel bad. Â Then he went and got the real manager who recomputed the bill and said, yes we were right. Â But before he came back we reluctantly paid the waiter/"false manager" the difference so we could leave. Â
Our group is from one of the largest neighborhoods in Summerlin. Â I will say that this event is ultimately going to cost them a lot of business. Â We are not "cheap skates", they only had to explain how to calculate the total. Â And we would have done it that way... but we didn't know. Â In fact, ultimately I was the one who figured out WHY there might be a difference. Â The fact that they advertise "2for1" on drinks but don't say its "per person" and the fact that they don't explain the table tip, and nowhere is it in writing... and then had the nerve to say they would call the police on us for basically reducing the tip for their poor service... Â UM, even me, mild mannered me, just couldn't put up with it.
The shrimp and crab appetizer was good, the house wine was mediocre, and the caprese salad was not good (tomatoes were hard, cheese was hard). Â The happy hours at other upscale restaurants in Summerlin have been far better (food wise) and less expensive and better staffed for large pre-arranged groups.
We went there for dinner about a week ago with the family. Â My brother-in-law phoned in early to reserve a table in the patio area. Â But they managed to screwed that up....
We were ignored by our waiter after we were seated for a while. His excuse..."I thought you were waiting for more people to show up" without even asking us! What an ass...
It took him about 30 minutes after our arrival to get our drinks and bread...not good!
We had some baked Brie, that was pretty tasty. Â I ordered chicken Parmesan with a bowl of clam chowder. Â The soup was so salty, and entree was just average.
Oh, by the way, if you have kids, don't bother to go there. Â They don't have a kids menu...
We will NOT return to this place for sure, there are plenty of good Italian restaurants out there in Vegas, just NOT this one!
I've been coming here since I was little. Â I love that in the 10+ years I have been going to Grape Street nothing has really changed. Â The decor is the same, the food and the great service. Â I always make a point to have lunch here with my dad and uncle Joey when I'm in town.
A few favorites:
- the poached salmon platter
- the baked brie
This is  a great place to grab a glass of wine and catch up with loved ones.  Their service has only gotten better with time.  I love how attentive they are.  This will always be one of my "locals" favorites.
With mediocre service, at best, I was hoping the food would make up for the lack of. Â But my 45$ ribeye with brandy blue cheese sauce was heavily charred, the roasted potatoes were rock hard, and the tomato soup was bland. Â My gf had a seafood pasta, liked the seafood, but pasta was tough. Â Her Riesling was good, I chose a peroni from a decent list of beers. Â For desert, a 6 layer chocolate cake that we cleaned off the plate. Â
Great atmosphere, but lacked in quality and attentive service.
I love this place. So much. It's easily one of my favorite restaurants in town.
The ambiance is great - this is a beautiful restaurant. It has a very intimate vibe and is a great spot for a romantic date. The food is absolutely delicious (I usually get the salmon!). The wine list is extensive. The service is wonderful.
No complaints.
I gave it two stars because the service was good, but the overpriced and not even warm to the touch meat made my stomach shut down early and put a stopper on the rest of the experience with their food.
I had to send the cooked but cold meat back and they heated it up so that it was basically overdone warm lamb.
They have a good wine selection though if that is any consolation.
This place is amazing. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the vibe, their Happy Hour, their Monday night wine specials......... Everything is awesome!
So far I have tried and LOVE the baked brie (omg so good!), the seafood fradiavolo, the mussels and steamed clams. I can't wait to try more this weekend for my birthday!
I love getting a bottle of bubbly when my gfs and I are there. We usually get a rose.
We've had Rudy and Julio as our servers and they're both great and Carl the bartender is great too!
Grape Street Cafe is a nice little restaurant with wonderful ambience and a very friendly wait staff. Â I went there with my husband early on a Saturday night. Â We each ordered a wine flight, an appetizer, and I ordered a pasta dish. Â I thought the wine selection for the flight was wonderful and the price was fair. Â The appetizer was okay. Â We ordered a cheese and fruit plate. Â I thought the cheese selection was only fair. Â My pasta was good but a bit bland. Â Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. Â It is a bit over priced but otherwise a fun option if you're looking to get away from a chain restaurant.
I wish I could rate this as 3.5 stars.
My BF brought me here for my birthday dinner. Â I had never been before but had always heard good things about it. Â It was late in the evening on a Saturday and we didn't have reservations and even though the restaurant seemed full we had no problem being seated. This place is very cute and romantic. Â Our server was great with suggestion on what wine to try with the pasta dishes we ordered. Â I had the linguine with brie and chicken and my BF had the Vodka Penne with shrimp and chicken. Â A complimentary desert for my birthday was a nice touch. Â I love places like this that are in Strip malls but don't feel like it. Â They would have gotten four stars but I was hugely disappointed when I went to have my leftover pasta for lunch and it was a salad dish I never ordered.
Review Source:Grape Street is a great local restaurant with delicious food, attentive service, and a large wine selection. Â Although I normally come for business lunches, Monday nights are a great time to come as they have 50% bottles of wine. Â What a deal! Â
I can't get enough of the salmon salad for lunch. Â The baked brie is to die for and is a definite must try. Â My only critique of Grape Street is that the lighting is very dim at times. Â I like a little mood lighting, but I'm not going for dining in the dark. Â Overall, Grape Street is a solid choice, lunch or dinnner.
Have been here more than 5 times and really like sitting at the bar with Michelle the bartender, she's great. Â Monday nights are 50% off wine night and it's a great time to go. Â They do run <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> and Groupon specials all the time so there are a lot of coupons out there and they seem to work because the place is fairly busy. I don't like their pizza but think their tomato app, chopped salad and salmon app are all good. The entrees are expensive but do come with sides and we haven't tried dessert yet. Â I still prefer this place for happy hour (1/2 off apps and wine) but it's not my favorite place for dinner.
Review Source:Grape Street is doing it right. They have been around for a while and seem to survived the downturn of the economy. Nice atmosphere with low lighting. The service is friendly and attentive. On our visit the filet was prepared well done as ordered. The chicken marsala was moist and the portion was large. The mushrooms and sauce  make the dish. During the happy hour wine is 2 for 1 and the appitizers are discounted. On Monday there are discounts on wine by the bottle.
Overall, food and service are very good.
Monday night is a great time to stop by this off-the-strip neighborhood restaurant because bottles of wine are 50% off. The food was better than expected, too. One of their more popular items is baked brie ($13). It's a hunk of brie sitting on top of caramelized onions and wrapped in flaky and delicate pastry. It's a massive baseball-sized mound with a knife piercing the top. It's surrounded by toast, pear, apples, and grapes. This is one appetizer meant to be shared.
The mussels ($13) were tough, but the white wine sauce that they were sitting in was phenomenal. Any bread that we had left over was used to sop up every last drop of sauce.
The caesar salad was decent and the tomato soup was creamy and full of flavor, but too chilled for my liking.
The chicken parmesan ($21) was good, but standard fare. The three thin breasts of chicken were coated in a breading that didn't stand a chance of staying crispy under all the sauce and cheese poured on top of it. A side of spaghetti accompanied the dish.
The ribeye special was beautifully charred and still tender and medium rare in the interior. It can't compete with top steakhouses in quality, but the wine and mushroom sauced boldly enhanced the flavor. A few carrots, asparagus, and potatoes surrounded the steak.
The restaurant isn't exactly kid-friendly, but there were several kids around, including ours. There's no kid's menu but they were happy to make a plain grilled chicken breast and fries for our little one.
On a second visit we started with their tapas plate. The Greek meatballs were the best thing on the plate. Savory and full of bold flavors, I wish there were more than three of them. The other items -- the goat cheese cigars, olives, and vegetables were decent, but paled in comparison to the meatballs.
The plating of the caprese salad was different than your typical caprese. The end caps of the tomatoes were sliced off and stacked with mozzarella and topped with toasted pine nuts and balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
We shared the short rib entree and the kitchen was nice enough to split the dish on to separate plates. I enjoyed the the depth of flavor of the sauce, although it was a touch sweet. But, the beef was too tough. Add to that a dry, chalky risotto and a minuscule serving of carrots and it was mediocre dish.
Service was spotty on both visits. The first time due to our waiter being asked to wait on numerous tables scattered around the restaurant. The second time the waiter and kitchen staff were hanging out at the bar watching a Notre Dame game.
Grape Street is a clear notch below the top off-strip restaurants, but it's worth a return visit.
3.5 Stars
Love the atmosphere of this place!! It's a cute spot and the food is awesome! I would have never found this place on my own..
The most amazing thing ever is the baked brie in puff pastry!! I could have just ate that as my dinner! It is served with fruit and bread..so delicious!!! I even try too recreate it at home (not as good) of course.
Prices are good and staff was friendly.
Grape Street is a perfect date spot, or in my case a nice spot for me and 3 equally drunk friends to continue our quest and grab some food.
It's so charming, and I love places that you can eat outside in Vegas. (Only in the fall or spring though!)
It seemed many people were on dates, and some seemed a little stuffy, but I won't judge...
Since last night all I can think about is the new BEST THING I EVER ATE, Baked Brie.
I love my cheese, and holy cow I love this. 2 thumbs up Grape Street!
The tapas plate, and mussels were also awesome. For 4 drunks only ordering appatizers and a pizza we scored BIG TIME!
Aside from the 2 bottles of wine we ordered the prices were also just right.
I'm going to dream about baked brie FOREVER!
Loved it. Service was great (my dad and the waiter were joking the whole time), the atmosphere was superb (I felt like I was back in Italy when I visited), and the meal+desert were sooo delectable!
I ordered the Ravioli with portobello :)
and for desert I had the the pumpkin cheesecake - 2 of my favorite deserts in 1!
Julio was our awesome waiter and added to the overall great experience
I'm happy we have a place like Grape Street in this town. A nice classy place away from the Strip to have a light lunch or a lovely dinner.
I normally get the blackened salmon salad or Mary Anne's grilled cheese (a nice goat cheese sandwich with prosciutto, basil and roasted red peppers). They have my favorite dessert in the whole wide world: CHOCOLATE CHEESE MOUSSE! It is smooth, creamy and chocolatey without being too sweet. It is absolutely divine.
Here is the lowdown:
Ambiance: 3.5 stars
I love the decor and feel of the place. It feels like you are eating at a winery. The only turn off is looking parking lot. If they closed the windows it would've kept the "magic" longer. Â
Service: 3 stars
The service was decent but not spectacular. The server could not help me with making a wine selection for our appetizer. I am not expecting anyone on the waitstaff to be sommelier but at least know the basics.
Food: 4 stars
The bake brie appetizer was phenomenal. I don't even like brie or pears for that matter but I couldn't stop eating this dish. As recommended by other reviews, this is a must have!
The pizza was ok.. It was honestly nothing out of this world. Good quality but nothing to wow about. One good point was the fresh grated Parmesan cheese that the wait staff grated onto your dish. A nice touch versus crumbles from a shaker.
The eggplant Parmesan was nothing special either, If you are a GMO freak, you may want to stay away from this one because the eggplant was huge, like something out of a video game.
One last thing:
Groupon beware they charged 18% gratuity automatically. I always tip generously, so it was like a slap on the face saying that because I'm using a Groupon that I'm cheap... Boo on you, you missed out on the extra 2% that would've given anyway.
Not sure what spell I was under the first time but I think the magic has worn off and the prices gouged out my eye balls.
Had a fantastic dinner w/ my friend and her mom and the end of the night was killed w/ a bill of almost $200! 3 entrees, one app, one dessert equals that much money? And in a strip mall??? HELL NO. Never again. Â No wonder they have half off wine nights or whatever it is because it's outrageously priced. Â I'm sorry did I see Chef Hubert Keller on the door or some Michelin Star on the menu? IT's overpriced. Â The food is good but it's not orgasmic.
My fella and I came in with a Groupon and last week. I've had Grape Street bookmarked for some time, so was excited when the Groupon offer came up.
We decided to come here on a Friday around 8 and it wasn't too crowded. We greeted warmly by the hostess and seated quickly. Our waiter was friendly and took our drink orders promptly and gave us some time to look through our menus. My fella and I decided to share the baked brie to start. I ordered the salmon caesar salad, while my fella ordered the bbq chicken pizza. The baked brie came out and was very tasty. I'm always a fan of baked brie and this was one was definitely solid. The salad portion was enormous, the piece of salmon was huge. I had to take most of this dish home. My fella enjoyed his pizza quite a bit and took most of his home for leftovers as well. Best of all, our meals tasted great the next day too.
The service was good and prices were good as well. The atmosphere is nice as well. There is a homey atmosphere where it felt like a lot of the patrons were regulars and everyone seemed to know each other. I'm definitely interested to check this place out again even though I don't live particularly close to this area.
