WHAT a lovely meal. Date night for me and my husband, away on a rare weekend without the kids. Black grape was a last minute booking I found on open table - it did not disappoint. The cocktails are AMAZING and the food, phenomenal. My husband said ‘top 5 meals of his life’. The service is also exquisite - young, attractive and energetic servers who are knowledgable and attentive. HIGHLY recommend

Average menu, not a good ambience. After some stressful news it was not the environment to relax in. Food was ok but not amazing. Toilets not well kept.
