This place was fine. After going there, it didn't really surprise me why they had so many reservations open on a weekend. We went on a Friday for happy hour and were one of two tables, with about 10 staff members. And the service was STILL super slow and bad. Our waiter consistently forgot to bring us things- he forgot to bring out more cava when we wanted more drinks (had to remind him more than once) and he completely forgot my friends gazpacho, then brought it after we reminded him. And since he brought it out after our entrees (which was odd), he didn't give her the happy hour price even though she ordered it 45 min before happy hour ended. The atmosphere is fine. It's trying to be cute but there's just something missing. The outdoor tables feel reminiscent of peak Covid- plastic awnings and makeshift outdoor furniture. Our spot inside was fine, but where was an awkward chair at the edge of our booth that looked impossible to get in and out of. The food was super boring, but priced like fine dining. My Mediterranean salad came on nasty wilted romaine and was no better than something I've ordered at Olive Garden for $8. And 4 overcooked shrimp were $9. My zucchini linguine was just wet vegetables with no sauce and no flavor. I can't really think of anything I liked about this place to be honest. read more

TLDR: Tasty well made food but wish a side was included (and bread if you'd normally give that eating in). My latest order was Alfredo with Chicken and it was very good! So far we have tried the spicy rigatoni (really good), Pappadelle Bolognese (didn't like so much), Chicken Marsala (very good and the only time I've ever liked this dish), Caesar salad, and a few other items. I have only ordered via delivery which has been fine except for an issue one time due to their ordering system, but they helped sort everything out and they went above and beyond to try to make sure I was happy after the issues I had, which I appreciated very much! Reason I didn't give 5 stars: My latest order was close to $60 and that was just for just Alfredo pasta with chicken added for $12 more (it was pretty small in size but the chicken helped make it more filling). I do wish their dinner dishes included a side (salad or veggie). I would still order but it will be on a more rare occasion due to cost. Note: Please bring the Chicken Marsala back, I loved it and never liked this dish until I tried yours. read more

We sat at the bar since we didn't buy any not have a reservation. The bartender there was great. Of course the menu was pricey, but I expect that at a nice restaurant like this. We both got the wagyu filet, and it was amazing. No regrets! read more

I have eaten here many times and every time I have been pleased with the service and the food. (I always get the saganaki.) My only complaint is they need to get rid of those big piles of melted wax that are everywhere. They are gray and look dirty and take away from the ambience. Others agree with me. Other than that, this is my go-to place on Queen Anne. read more

Came here for brunch. Glad they have lunch items. Had the crab and tiny shrimp salad. Pretty good size for a half salad although I wished there are more crabs. Beautiful venue and good service. The fake flower is kind of turnoff read more

This place is the middle of the road for me. To be honest, the service was kind of disappointing. It was pretty slow, drinks were slow, but seemed to be pretty well staffed. We ordered some items on happy hour that weren't delivered to our table. They brought them later (but then didn't charge the happy hour price). Too much work to have the bill adjusted for a few dollars off but annoying nonetheless. The gazpacho was really good! I also go the crab salad, which was pretty plain and nothing to write home about. The ambiance and decor is cute. read more

Grappa - Watermelon Gazpacho Cup - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We enjoy coming to this spot, but it's just so darn expensive. The food is always good. We like to order the risotto. The restaurant itself is a cute, quaint spot on Queen Anne. Street parking can get kinda tough on weekends, but you're usually able to find something relatively quick. The price is our main hold up for this restaurant. While the food is good, there are comparable restaurants that are cheaper. After tax and tip, it doesn't feel worth it at times. read more

We walked in for an early dinner around 6pm on a week night and were seated right away. There are a few tables outside as well and their patio is dog friendly! Staff was very friendly and service was quick. We started with their creamy burrata and it was so refreshing. Balsamic glaze w the pine nuts were a nice touch. For food, we ordered 3 main dishes to share- vongole, carbonara, and paella. They were all so delicious and flavorful and portion size was reasonable. We shared all the dishes among 3 people and walked out very full and happy. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes read more

Excellent service, excellent food. That's it, that's the review. A nod to the name, they have a ton of grappa to try! I had the seafood risotto which was absolutely incredible. Though they also have your classic, Italian dishes like carbonara and bolognese. You've got to try the focaccia. The ambiance is super cool. It's dark and moody and romantic with candle wax melting everywhere. But you could still go with family as we did. The tiramisu was incredible! read more

Our night got off to a rough start when random people snuck past the host stand and took our reserved seats. After waiting awhile, we agreed to sit on the patio. Our waiter went above and beyond to get us a table inside, after hearing it was our anniversary dinner, and the stolen seat situation. He proceeded to comp our first round of drinks and gave us a free dessert as well. The gnocchi was fantastic, the Jaguar's tail and other drinks were all great, the paella was fabulous as well. Our night was quickly redeemed by amazing customer service, food, drinks and music/atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place, just be aware that you 100% should get a reservation and be prepared to wait a while even having a reservation. Multiple groups were waiting outside for seats to be ready. However, the customer service blew us away. And the food was amazing. read more

Grappa is a cute brunch/lunch/dinner place in the heart of Queen Anne. It's definitely a bit pricey for what you get, but a great choice for when you have guests or are looking for some more upscale ambience. I enjoyed the grilled cheese and tomato soup - they make it on focaccia bread, which made for a rich, comforting combination. Our waitress let us know this was her first time serving brunch, and she did phenomenally! She was attentive and quick to grant us our additional requests like sauce on the side. read more

The food was good but it didn't blow me away. It was quite pricey for what it was and I don't think I'd return. I ordered the carbonara but the zucchini in it did overwhelm the pasta. My friend ordered the vodka pasta which was definitely the best thing we tried. Service was good, my friend and I are fast eaters so we were ready to leave pretty soon. Ambiance was great; gorgeous restaurant. read more

Food was decent but didn't live up to the high prices. Service was lovely and it was great that they had heated patio seating outside. We tried the following: - Spaniard Octopus: Pretty good, though I've had more tender octopus before. Was also a bit confused with the "focaccia" that came with it: I've never had focaccia with a crumb that looked like regular bread before, rather than the usual bubbly and airy focaccia. It reminded me more of a sourdough toast. - Brussels Bacon and Brie: Good flavor but lacked texture, the Brussels were very mushy and had no crisp on the outside. - Housemade Gnocchi: my husband thought it was decent, but not super wowed by it - Paella: I was impressed by how much seafood was in the paella. There were 3 giant shrimp, lots of clams/mussels and a ton of sausages and assorted seafood buried under the rice. That said, while there was a bit of heat to it, it otherwise tasted a tad bland. We also tried a few cocktails and they were all pretty good, especially the Milano Mule. read more

I came here for happy hour with a friend and it was a good time. The hummus was the star of the meal. I've heard about it for a while and finally understand the hype. It was flavorful and perfect. I loved how they served it with pita bread AND veggies. The spicy sausage rigatoni was delicious and not super spicy. The flourless chocolate cake was smooth and rich with a mousse-like texture. The only downside to our visit was our waiter tended to disappeared for long moments at a time and we had to flag down another waiter at some point for our main course and dessert orders. The restaurant was half empty and not very busy so that was confusing, but all other staff that helped us that day were extremely attentive. read more

Grappa is consistently good. You come here knowing you are going to have a good meal. The ambiance is intimate but the space is large enough and breathable. The seafood risotto, octopus, and bolognese is delicious. You can't go wrong with a starter plate of focaccia. I always bring out of town guests here when I want to show them the cute streets of Queen Anne! read more

Came here for dinner, but would not come back. For the cost, would've expected more from the meal. Pro: service was nice and waitress took care of us. Thank you! Con: We got 4 dishes, total ticket with drinks was about $200, and it did not feel worth it. Moreover, none of the dishes felt like they sparked joy, or was a "surprise & delight." Burrata: Cheese was good, but the flavor overall felt a little bland. Octopus: This was probably the best dish of the night. $30, was a pricy appetizer. Paella: Too salty, overwhelmed the dish, tasted it right away. This was kind of disappointing, because we love paella. Piccata: Too creamy / lemony, kind of overwhelmed the flavor. This dish was closer to $50, so we expected this one to wow us, but it felt underwhelming for 4 pieces of scallop. read more

So, I would definitely say that dinner is better than Brunch here. Sunday morning for brunch on Daylight Savings Day allowed us to pick our seating. They do have a $15 penalty for no-shows or cancelations per OpenTable so something to be aware of. We ordered: - French 75 - Coffee - Egg Benedict with a side of bacon - Seafood pastry puff. Benedict does NOT come with the traditional ham and comes with the English muffin, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce with a side of potatoes. This was disappointing and bland. What Benedict doesn't come with ham on it? Potatoes were mushy and flavorless. The bacon was subpar quality and was dry. A coffee mug had to be exchanged for one that didn't have food waste still on the inside rim. Their dishwasher didn't remove everything. They do not offer brown sugar for their coffee options. The Bf enjoyed the seafood pastry puff and shared that seems more in line with their dinner caliber. Overall Sunday Brunch experience at Grappa left much to be desired and with rising costs for eating out, I would say check out further down QA Ave for 5 spot breakfast. read more

To start this place has a fantastic vibe to it. As far as the service goes, it's spot on. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Last but not least, the food was delicious and everything was prepared perfectly. On this occasion we came here for a special prefix menu. However, can't wait to come back soon and try the regular menu. read more

I don't drink tap water. This is one of the few places in Seattle that has Aqua Panna in still and sparkling. All the handmade pastas are amazing, one standout is the seafood risotto. The bartenders are also super knowledgeable and capable to make any fancy cocktail you like. Outside is also dog friendly. I love their interior decor with candles surrounded by a mountain of melted wax. Great place for date night. read more

I've been coming to Grappa since 2016 (is that when they opened?) and probably have been there a handful of times but this week, I ordered the fettuccine for the first time and was blown away by the fettuccine Alfredo. For those of you who love garlic, this fettuccine is for you! I wish I could have licked the plate if that was socially acceptable. My second fave item in their menu is the saganaki. Who doesn't love fried, lemony halloumi on a cast iron?! read more

Grappa - Fettuccine Alfredo - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a chic restaurant with excellent food, not to mention a stellar wine and cocktail list. We were seated in the "outdoor" area, which is a covered patio with plastic walls that allows for heaters to eat outside, even in November. The food was exceptional. The grilled saganaki cheese comes with a flare - literally, they set it on fire at the table, which makes for great people watching. I had a delicious pasta dish with fresh vegetables, as well as their riff on the Manhattan cocktail, which was a winner. The only reason it was not 5 stars was that the service was a bit slow. When we finished, we waited a really long time to get our check, almost an uncomfortably long time. While it wasn't a big deal, if you were in a hurry to go somewhere after dinner, this could be a problem. But all in all, it didn't really damage the experience much because the service was very friendly and helpful beyond the speed. read more

Recently moved to the area and we're in search of our new go to spots . Grappa is now at the top of the list. The food is terrific, the drinks are well thought out and offer a wide range of choices. The ambiance is welcoming but elevated. All of these things make grappa awesome but the real star of the show is the service. Our waitress Cassie was charming, engaging, knowledgable and guided us through an incredible dining experience. This place feels like somewhere I could stop in for a drink with friends or celebrate life events with family. Will be back soon. read more

Food is terrible. Service fine Ambiance fine They seem to have cooks not chefs in the back. You could do better using a cookbook and omitting ingredients and adding salt. read more

Grappa has great ambience. Their bar, with candles alight at night, I imagine are a spectacle to enjoy, as the massive globs of wax drippings look like stalagmites all over the bar...but alas, we arrived for lunch in the day hours where I could only ponder what the vision would be. My friend had a cocktail which she loved, but being midday, I only wanted lunch. The halibut was fresh and delicious, not overcooked at all, and the salad side was great, with some jicama. That plate though, was very very light and even though I had a small slice of tiramisu afterword, I actually left feeling hungry, which is very strange for me. The portion size was very small, yet the plate was about $35. This is the reason I hacked off two stars...price and volume for price. There should have been one more side, or a whole lot more salad, at least. read more

Unfortunately I only took one picture but I'll be back so don't worry, I'll update this! I just moved to Queen Anne and am hitting all the local spots and I am thrilled this spot was first on my list. From the patio seating to the service to the food, 12/10. My sister and I had a bottle of wine, the cheese appetizer, the Mediterranean salad and we shared the seafood risotto and everything was so delicious. Our waiter was also such a gem and recommended some other spots in the area for a night cap which we followed up on and also really enjoyed. It was such a great vibe and I can't wait to come back! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so one of my best friends took me to celebrate my birthday. Grappa was perfect! I've never felt so celebrated by complete strangers. To start, the ambience is incredible here. It's perfect for a date night or if you are having an intimate meal with friends. The melted candles are beautiful and the lighting is intentionally planned out. Also... not to be weird, but the bathrooms smell incredible. Second, the food was an all around 10/10. Other reviews have been raving about the seafood risotto and the paella - they are definitely worth the hype. But I would also love to highlight the cocktails. The Hemingway daiquiri, la selve negra, and after dinner Pink Elephant were all awesome. Last but far from the least, the service was incredible. Like I said, I've never felt so celebrated by strangers. Grappa has a strong waitstaff but our server Younes was extremely attentive and provided the utmost customer service. He checked us on us often and was super personable. I will be back. Often. Thank you, Grappa for a lovely night! read more

Delicious food and great service! I've been wanting to try Grappa for some time now and finally got to try it for the first time and it didn't disappoint! Will definitely be going back for more :) We ordered several different dishes, if you love cheese, definitely try the Saganaki! So cool cus they flame it right in front of you! Flaming hot cheese! lol it was so good. We ordered the Spaghetti Seafood Vongole - they give so much seafood in there, super worth it! The Seafood Paella & the Seafood Risotto! We love our seafood! hahah also you have to try their bread pudding for dessert! It was too pretty to eat but it was deeeelicious. I liked that it wasn't too mushy or too sweet like some other bread puddings. And it comes with vanilla ice cream on top but you can ask for other flavors. I can't wait to go back and try all the other dishes on the menu. Our server Andru was such a delight! Super friendly and nice and we just loved the overall vibe and atmosphere of Grappa. I'll be back again very soon! read more

While they boast that they are a Mediterranean wine bar, Grappa does a nice weekend brunch, with some unusual tasty offerings. Try the spicy sausage country biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs or the crab avocado toast. Small teaks to the usual recipes make for a welcome change. The Queen Anne area of Seattle provides an inviting after brunch stroll to do some shopping or to just burn off some of the artery-clogging gravy. read more

Dinner at Grappa with three kids was almost perfect! We arrived a couple minutes late for our reservation, but we're still promptly seated. The interior is pretty cool: our kids LOVED the candles with wax dripping all over, and the combination of copper and wood is really well done. Our waiter waited for a while to take our order, which was intentional (that's how they roll there), but once we told him we wanted to order and get the kids fed ASAP he course corrected. We got the hummus appetizer, which was good, but would be nice to know it's a red pepper infused hummus, so the kiddos were not fans (they ate the warm pita though). They do have a great kids menu (you have to ask for it): we got the grilled cheese and kids pasta. We also got 3 spaghetti's: pesto, primavera, and d'mare (which I butchered pronouncing). The spaghetti's were all great. The primavera was fresh and not overly sauced with delicious fresh vegetables, d'mare was loaded with muscles and had lots of other seafood with a great slightly spicy tomato sauce, and the pesto was creamy, basily deliciousness. The kids pasta was perfect also. The grilled cheese is a little more interesting: it's served on herb bread, which is a little elevated for our 7 year old (and most that I know), so that didn't get touched. Grappa would be amazing for date night, and was still a pretty good place for a family of 5. read more
