The staff is amazing. There is typically only one or two working at a time but they are super talented with multi tasking and being attentive with every customer. Super knowledgeable with wine and their origins. Highly recommend going if you’ve never been.

I had no idea their food was so good! I've passed this place many times, but I thought they only sold wine. I was there for a workshop (Upwelling Counseling Services) and was overwhelmed by how incredible the food was! Even though mine was so good (I was regretting I'd agreed to share with someone after I took the first bite), I was jealous of the food other people there ate! Everything that came out was picture perfect! Man, I am going back! I may be nice and share.

i started coming to this location when Ken started doing trivia night here. Ken’s trivia night was a nice opportunity to get out of the house and meet with friends. we have been played by his trivia game for a couple years now at a different location and have a group of friends who come. Not everyone is there every time but more times than not, we buy something. Either split a bottle of wine or ive bought food once or twice. They’ve always offered us water glasses to sip on while we play. Tonight our group came in and got a table. all of our waters were filled as we arrived and i bought a pizza (which was extremely over priced by the way. it was very very small. it was about a little over the size of a dollar bill and was over $14. i could not recommend any of their food). at the end of the night when my bill came, everyone else was handed a bill too. Our waitress said “she decided to charge you all for water this time”. we were super confused because i was the only one who had bought something. My partner talked to the manager and she essentially told her that we are costing her money by not buying anything and that this was her business and she’ll charge whatever she wants. she also just said “sorry it’s my rules” and walked away. no where on the menu does it state waters may come with a charge if we don’t purchase anything. we were not told that waters would cost us anything when our cups were filled. they just filled them and charged us. she was also extremely rude and condescending. i understand it can be bad practice to come to an establishment and never buy anything, but we buy things more often than not. we will not be returning back here.

Was charged for water— That being all we had. We were not notified by anyone prior to the trivia night about this as water is free literally EVERYWHERE, and they have never charged us or anyone else before at previous trivia nights for the simple necessity of water. We did not ask for the water, it was just presented to us as a usual common courtesy, so we assumed nothing of it.
My group and I were only told at the end of the allotted trivia night after only getting a water while we enjoyed our usual trivia. When I addressed it with the manager, she basically told me that this was her place and us being here was costing her money, so she charged us without us knowing. I wanna repeat that none of my group was notified beforehand and we were charged for our water, nobody telling us this would happen. We also had one of our party members who ordered a pizza, so the table was technically a paying group.
I’ve never seen this at any other restaurant, especially when hosting a community trivia night. I do understand where she’s coming from when running a business, but giving us a warning (as it was just one night and it was WATER) would’ve been preferable as there was nothing she gave us to do about it. They’ve NEVER charged us before. The waitress was very sweet with me though as it was not her fault.

I had a great time with friends there. This is a bit like in Europe, to enjoy the wine, the atmosphere and the food. Not a place to rush, eat and go in my opinion. You spend time there to enjoy a good selection of good wine, quality food, and personalized service, not worrying about time.

We lived near Grapes Bistro & Wine Bar for many years, but never visited until recently. I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner. We had a perfectly chilled bottle and split several appetizers with friends. The cranberry and goat cheese was excellent, as was the pimento cheese and marinated olives. We ended by splitting a mushroom flatbread. Our experience was nothing short of excellent.

Parking: Lots of parking for the entire shopping area

Hidden gem of Indian Trail. The food was excellent, as was the service and ambiance. Had the roasted winter vegetable salad. Looking forward to going back!
