And there are plenty of tables to sit. I think there were some ladies playing the Chinese domino game, it starts with an "m". Got to meet the owner Ray and he picked out a fantastic Cab for me, it was the Story Storypoint Cab out of California. Later I also had the Martin Ray and in my opinion it was not as good, but it was a heavier mouth feel and it had layers to it. They have a piano player Wednesday and Saturday. He shows up around 6pm. So they have free slasa and chips in the back corner most nights. On Tuesday the have tacos. And Tuesday there are meatballs. On Friday they have Karaoke around 7. If you like wine, or you are an enthusiast, this would be a great place to visit if you find yourself in Winter Haven Florida. They have buy one glass 2nd half price. If you buy a bottle and stay, it is a $15 corkage fee. We kind of did the math and depending on the pour, and their pours are generous, it is cheaper to buy by the glass. When you visit they your own math gymnastics. Bottom line, Grape Expectations, the wine is great. The service is exceptionally better. And if you like a mellow vibe with great wine. You won't be disappointed in this stop. Finally, shout out to Terra, between her and Ray we had such a great time. CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

Service was... okay. A bit on the "too relaxed" side, which almost came across as unfriendly. To be fair, I was already in a mood from something personal before I walked in, so maybe that energy carried over, but still worth noting. Food-wise, it was decent--nothing mind-blowing, but good enough that I'd definitely come back when in the area. The loco moco burger was basically an ordinary burger, though the gravy added an interesting twist. Not sure I'd reorder it. I really enjoyed the French toast--the grilled pineapple on top was disappointingly dry, but the syrup helped and overall I'd get that again. The millionaire bacon sounded much more exciting on the menu than it tasted--pretty basic in execution. What I do love is how creative their menu reads; it makes you want to try everything. That's why I feel like I need to come back and sample more dishes to really get the full experience. Cute spot, decent food, and definitely worth a return visit to explore more of their offerings.

There was a beautiful patio area that drew us into the bar after seeing all the great drinks being served. The bar was filled with a trendy ambiance of warm candles, books and cool original art pieces with a nice vibe of upscale patrons. We sat in a corner nook with a beautiful foot locker as our table covered with magazines. A lovely bubbly server immediately brought us menus and introduced us to the restaurant that was filled with well dressed mostly female patrons surrounding the L shaped bar. Signature Sangrias are the go to drinks and I ordered the Kumquat Sangria that uses locally sourced Kumquats for a special one of a kind citrus based Sangria. Definitely a must try drink that comes with an optional kick of Southern Comfort on the side. My wife got the Very Berry Sangria that came filled with fruit and included chop sticks for eating the fruit. A Great Drink as well. The bathrooms were also worth a visit to see the library books and fulfill a fantasy ;-} we will definitely be returning for the next Friday Fest and our new central Florida favorite bar.

I traversed inside to place my order as there didn't seem to be service at that time. The waitress seemed off and kept making me wait while she asked the bar crowd who else wanted a drink. I waited and waited. Finally she took my order. I asked for the nachos and a draught beer. She seemed surprised I ordered food. She kept telling me I needed to order chicken or steak. I indicated that I didn't need those add one and was good with the refried beans listed on the menu. I told her I was sitting on the corner outside. That corner is where I sat, for more than half an hour, gasping for air. I was entertained by the music and some people dancing to the tunes. I really wanted my beer which never came. Finally my nachos arrived. They had a nice presentation but no beans. They were dropped at the table as she sped away. I tried to ask for my beer but she never hesitated long enough nor emerged to check on me. My nachos was more of chips and cheese with a lettuce salad on top. I was thankful for the jalepeno slices and made the best of it. After an hour I went inside to pay. The waitress ignored me again. When I finally got the bill it included the illusion beer that was never served. When I questioned it the waitress got frustrated and handed my ticket to an apologetic younger guy. I don't think wild horses could drag me back to this bar. Maybe if some friends were only willing to come hear the music but not venture inside... it's pretty sad as the music was great!
