We had an amazing experience at Grappa for Thanksgiving! The food was outstanding, and everything was beautifully presented. Sarah provided exceptional service, making our first time dining out for the holiday truly special. It was a wonderful atmosphere, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend it! Thank you, Grappa 🦃

This was my second visit, and like the first the star of the show was the food. From the balsamic laced bread to the flavorful pastas and salads, this place knows how to cook. It also understands service, which was warm and efficient. The missing star is for the noise level, which is deafening. That may be the price of popularity, and the tables were full on a Tuesday night, but it did make conversation challenging. Still, I'll be back.

Food at Lola’s is always superb. Today, I had the lamb kebab and it was terrific. I would have loved it to be less sweet, but it was still really good!

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!
