Grapevines has great food, service and ambience. Manuela goes above and beyond for her patrons. She is very personable and attentive. Love her! Debbie read more

there was one waiter for the area where we were seated. He took our order and did not see him again until we got our bill. The lasagna was cold didn't have enough sauce and at best it was mediocre. We tried it sometime before and thought we give it another chance and we will not dine there again. read more

From the moment we entered, I could tell I'd made the right decision for lunch. We were promptly greeted and seated. The music playing from the speakers was honest jazz pop fusion and lent to a great atmosphere. They start with bread and oil, which is delicious. The bread was soft and warm, with just enough garlic and salt. We ordered Meatball ricotta and shared. It was so pretty that I almost didn't want to eat it. But it was good once I did. When we have more time, we'll certainly be back to try more items on the menu. read more

This place is a hidden gem! From the moment we sat down, the service was friendly, fast, and genuine. The warm rolls with oil and balsamic dipping sauce set the tone...soft, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We tried the Veal Parmigiana and Veal Scaloppini, and both were incredible.....tender, rich, and full of flavor. The Lasagna Soup deserves its own award; it's honestly the best we've ever had, comfort in a bowl. The Bruschetta was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the martinis were strong, smooth, and well-crafted. We chose to sit outside, and the atmosphere was perfect....cozy, relaxing, and ideal for a date night or a casual evening with friends. Grapevine's absolutely delivered on food, service, and ambiance. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. read more

I would not return to this place. First, we were seated at a very wobbly table so we moved to another. We were promptly brought rolls that were very blonde and flat. The rolls that we saw come out of the kitchen later were nicely brown and risen so I guess we were unlucky. We didn't take long to decide what we wanted to order and had put the menus down, but it took probably 15 minutes after we finished the bread to have our orders taken. I got the Caesar salad and the dressing was watery and underseasoned, as if it was thinned out with milk or water. The meatballs in the spaghetti and meatballs were severely underseasoned. The marsala sauce was broken, the chicken had that overly heated oil taste and the risotto was also severely underseasoned. The only good thing was the small canolis. read more

We eat here frequently. Tonight was the first time we decided to get dessert. Huge mistake! We ordered one cheesecake, to split. We literally got one bite each. The slice was so small. Cost was 8.00. When I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, I explained I couldn't believe how small the slice was, all he said was they don't make them in house, they come that way. Disappointing response. Just beware of the desserts here. They are not worth the cost! read more

Skip this place. Rolls were dry and hard. Not fresh. Ordered chicken parm. Looked ok but when I cut into it, the chicken was dry and hard. Think of the scene from Christmas Vacation when Clark cuts into the turkey. I told the waiter and he said he would let the kitchen know. No manager came out, nothing was done. read more

I enjoy my experience at the Cumming, GA location every time. The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing. My server was Brooke, she is the sweetest and very attentive to our needs. Sweet conversation with this young lady. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual dinner or if you are planning a romantic dinner. read more

We were served burnt chicken parm, mushroom sauce that looked like mud, and tasteless fettuccine Alfredo. We've been here before and haven't had this expirence. I just couldn't believe a chef of any kind would send out a plate with a burnt fried chicken cutlet for the chicken parm on purpose. I don't know what happened to this establishment, but it has gone downhill. read more

Grapevine has had excessive price increases. In my opinion, they have killed their "good food at a good price" vibe. I was a frequent customer. I will miss it. read more

Went last night with the family and it was amazing! The rolls- sooo good. Had the bruschetta and calamari , all amazing. Tuscan Salmon was my choice- excellent! read more

Tucked away in a Kroger strip mall is this Italian gem. The ambience is warm inside, and the service was fantastic. They give you fresh, warm, complementary garlic rolls and they are awesome! I had the house salad, my wife had the Caesar both were very good. This is our first visit, my wife had the chicken Parmesan, and I had the baked ziti. The baked ziti was delicious and the portion was huge! The chicken Parm was average tasting, and we really didn't love the sauce. They have some drink specials during the week and live music on the weekend. We will definitely be back to sample other items! read more

Let me start by saying we are regulars 1 to 2 month. Normal we enjoy our food and service. That ended tonight!! They bring complimentary bread and olive oil mix to the table but the waiter stated "the bread is in the oven". Great we will get fresh bread!! The waiter took our drink order and we politely asked him again to bring us bread and he stated "the bread was in the oven". He returned to the table again to take our order followed by the server bringing out our soup and salad. We asked the server for bread one once again we were told the bread is in the oven!! In the meantime all the tables around us who arrived after us were getting beard. Then our food came out once again we asking for bread. Of course it's in the oven. Finally our waiter came out with bread and tries to give it to another table. I the tell him actually we requested the bread and he told us we already get bread which we didn't!! Accused me of liar and that's when I got pissed. The manager came over and thanked me for bringing it to my attention but the bread was in the oven. I can handle poor service and cold food. I can not handle being called a Liar!! I will never return!! read more

I have seen their billboard when driving through downtown Cumming and since we will soon be living in Cumming, of course we needed to try GrapeVines out!! Reading reviews we weren't too sure about going to dinner with new friends, but decided to go. It is located in a nice strip mall with ample parking. It's not a very large restaurant but we like small and intimate. It also has a bar side with high table seating. It is very nice inside with booths and tables/chairs. We were seated immediately because this particular Friday night was not busy. Apparently it was an odd evening of not being busy but we were okay with that. There was live music which was a one-man band. However he was very good and nice background music. We were told by our server Zack they have it on Friday and Saturday evenings. We were immediately greeted by wonderful server Zack. He was so friendly, engaging, attentive and some southern hospitality. We took a long time to decide on our food because we were with new friends, but he was so great checking back with us. He told us "I just don't want you to think I'm neglecting you". We assured him it was okay as we were here with our new friends and enjoying conversation. Of course before I commit to a glass of wine, I want a taste which he accommodated my husband and I. We finally decided, per Zack's recommendation, on the salmon along with a small salad and the Tuscana cup of soup, of course sharing everything. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly not tough and overcooked. It was bedded on Risotto which was creamy and yummy. I loved the Kalamata olives that garnished the salmon. Delicious and healthy menu choice for sure. And the garlic butter rolls they serve were outstanding, warm and delicious sprinkled with some seasoning also comes with a bowl of dipping oil with seasoning. Our soup was pipping hot with a tomato cream, chicken and a few small cut vegetables. Not too many of either but that is okay otherwise we'd be too full for our main dish. A cup was the perfect portion. Our salad with some veggies was also the perfect portion. But what made our evening complete was Zack as we thoroughly enjoyed his attention and engaging conversation. With us not living far away soon, Grapevines most likely will be our Italian "go-to". Oh and on Mondays, they have $5 Martini nights. Didn't ask if they have happy hour, but I will the next time in. We enjoyed a piece of scrumptious cheesecake drizzled with chocolate sauce of some sort which again was very tasty. Not too big of a slice, but again perfect portion. Our friends said they enjoyed their dinner as well. Our friend is gluten intolerant and they serve gluten free noodles which he said was very good. He also ordered chicken but he said it was a bit spicy along with a sweet potato. Well done GrapeVines. We will be back!! I hope all your food is as yummy as our first dinner with y'all. read more

The food was amazing, service was great and the ambiance was perfect. This is our new favorite Italian restaurant.

We had a wonderful (52nd) anniversary celebration with friends and family at GrapeVine's, and they couldn't be more accommodating. There were nine of us and separate checks were not a problem. I had the Cioppino and my wife had the Mussels appetizer and the pesto chicken pasta. Everything was delicious. The Cioppino had salmon, shrimp, mussels and more in a thicker marinara type sauce, with a bowl of linguine and marinara sauce. The mussels were perfectly cooked in a garlicky broth with tomatoes, excellent for dipping their yummy rolls. The pesto chicken was flavorful and she took most of it home. We had a Montepulciano d'abruzzo which went very well with all our dishes. We were most pleased and will definitely be back next t time we are in Cumming. read more

The wait staff is friendly and attentive. Every time a customer left, the hostess immediately wiped down the table. There was live music and the decor was rustic and cozy. The food was good but not great. There was plenty to eat as my chicken dish came with a salad and a side and the table got fresh rolls which were delicious, with oil and balsamic herbed dipping sauce. Risotto was very good but the chicken piccata was just okay. Husband had pasta with sausage which he did like but neither of us were crazy about the calamari. Overall nice place, nice price, nice service. Okay food. read more

Honestly not 100% sure how I did not know this was here! I used to live right around the corner and never noticed it was now a different restaurant! My friend and I wanted to try something new for Galentines dinner so we decided to try it out and I am so glad we did! I will be back! WE were promptly greeted when we walked in and they cleaned a table off for us and got us sat within about 5 minutes. The lovely woman who greeted and sat us was so kind, and our server was no different. Full of smiles and answered all of our questions! So first off apparently they do Martini Monday and I am not sure if that is every Monday or just the first Monday of the month. Either way, heck of a deal! $5 martinis! Of course, since they were $5 we had to try some! I started with a classic Lemon Drop and my friend got the Raspberry Chocolate. Both were good! The Raspberry Chocolate I would say is something I would get AFTER dinner myself, but my friend enjoyed it before our meal. The lemon drop was great! As an appetizer we decided to try the mussels and were not disappointed. They were perfectly cooked with a good yet subtle flavor. We used our bread to soak up the sauce and it was next level delightful. For our entrees I got the lobster ravioli and my friend got the veal scallopini I think it was with risotto. I really liked my ravioli, and it was different since other places I have ordered lobster ravioli it was in more of a wine based or cream sauce. This sauce was a very creamy red sauce like a rosatella. So good! My friend loved her meal and I got to try it as well - perfectly cooked, and the sauce had a great flavor! The risotto was good too, but the veal really stole the show there! We did not get a dessert, but we did try the peach martini as well and it was good - VERY sweet in my opinion, but good. The service was wonderful (even the person who brought our food out was smiling and kind), everyone was smiling, there was live music - overall just a great evening! You can tell everyone who works there cares and seems to love their job. Can't wait to bring my husband for a date night. read more

It is soooo good and budget friendly. The rolls, meat balls (homemade) and caprice salad are all great. Service is good too and prices have not gone out of site for this quality of restaurant. read more

We ordered the Chef Special with Toscana soup and the Lobster Ravioli. The Chef Special was Pork Chop with Fettuccine in a Mushroom Sauce. The pork chop was a little salty but cooked well. The mushroom sauce was a little bland. I wanted to add some more cheese but our server never came back around until it was time for the check. The lobster ravioli was okay. The sauce was really good. Our drinks weren't refilled until the meal was done. read more

Visited for the very first time this past weekend and all I can say is WOW! The food was excellent and so was the service, great staff, very attentive. Everything was great from the appetizers to the main courses, portions were big so we got to bring some home to enjoy the next day, we will definitely be back! read more

The food is always outstanding and the prices are good. Usually the service matches the quality of the food. Tonight' was an exception (June 5th - a Thursday.). The service was abominable - two waiters (one new at the job).we arrive at 5:00 along with several other parties. Then came in three large parties and there was no service. First time I have been disappointed in Grapevines. They should have called in some help. read more

Ordered a steak medium and it came out almost raw, at these prices you would think somebody could cook a steak the right way...

Came here because the reviews were good. Hate to be the one to disagree with the rave reviews but.... We had a reservation on a busy Friday night. We were seated in the bar area. Took ten minutes for us to be greeted by the server, who was pleasant. We ordered our food immediately and it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. Lasagna and ziti.... Shouldn't have been too complicated. The lasagna sauce was bright red, like tomato sauce out of the can. It was the weirdest lasagna I ever tasted. The ziti was piping hot and stayed steaming hot for over ten minutes. Took forever to eat and It was mediocre at best. Sorry, but since I'm somewhat fussy about Italian food, having lived in the northeast where Italian restaurants are on every corner and most are authentic and amazing, this was like a Stouffers meal. If you have a discriminating palate, this is not the place to go for Italian food. read more

2nd time I was here, thought I would give it another try. Ordered Spahgetti and Meatballs, absolutely horrible. The Marinara closely resembled Chef Boyardee, the meatballs were dry and flavorless. Not again. read more

We went for a Saturday lunch. We were the only guests during the whole time which gave us some concerns at first. The food and service were amazing. Everything was so tasteful and we had a great first impression. We will definitely come back. read more

Service was super and the food was tasty and prepared well. The one downside side seems to be that they maybe be somewhat short staffed. We tried to make a reservation and literally called from around 3:30 PM until 5:00 PM - also went to their website but it only showed a time of 10:00 PM. Figured they were either closed or having a private party - drove by around 6:00 PM and sure enough they were open. Hope they fix this Sidon - wonder how many customers they lost that night. read more

Arrived on a Saturday evening and seated immediately. Amazing food from start to finish and even better service by Zack. Much appreciated.

I came in for dinner service last evening, and it was a small little quaint spot clean and neat. I was immediately seated. I asked the waitress what she recommended. My eyes had already viewed the menu, and I had an ideal of what sounded good. She recommended the pesto chicken and it was a wonderful decision! It was in a very creamy, sauce that was very flavorful! They were having five dollar martinis and of course I had to try one. It was a little strong for my liking, however, if I had come with a designated driver, I probably would've had another. Unfortunately, I did not get the name of my waitress, but she was wonderful, very attentive sweet and provided a wonderful experience! read more

This restaurant is amazing and I'm so glad we found it to enjoy an 80th birthday party for a party of 14 people. This place has some amazing staff that made sure our party was very well served. I enjoyed the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious and abundant for the price. Out of 14 people there was a hiccup with one order but Brittney and Zac made sure to correct it and make it even better. Their attitude and attention to customer service was superior to other places we have dined. WE WILL go back to this location to dine more because of the amazing service we received tonight. It is very easy for me to award them 5 starts and a 2 thumbs up for friendliness, customer service and genuine great atmosphere created by the staff at Grape Vines of Cumming! read more
