After thoroughly reviewing the wine menu I remarked that I did not recognize a single winery/name. 50% of the menu were various reds the other 50% were sparkling wins, roses & various whites, with 1 chardonnay! The price for most was $16, a tad high for unknown wines. I asked to try the chard and while it tasted more like a sauvignon blanc, I figured we were there and what the hell. My friend had a resiling which she said was ok, both glasses were close to 3 fingers high in the glass, not much, and $16. Our server was pleasant but was having to work the entire seating area. I am hoping with new owners, the wine menu gets revamped with known labels & more diversity

The table next to us had ordered a brand-new charcuterie board and waited so long just to order their wine that they eventually left the restaurant without even touching the charcuterie board. Overall, both the food and the service were extremely disappointing. Waiting that long just to get someone's attention, receive our food, and eventually pay the bill is unacceptable.

You have the reds, whites, the sweets, the sparkling and etc. Not only the difference in profile, but you can pair it with food to enhance the overall flavor.

We arrive at 6:30 it's already packed so we put the party down for a wait time and proceed to wait. Issue at hand: we were told by the host stand it would be about 30-40 min wait for seating for the size of our party.....so tell me why we didn't get sat until 2 hours later at 8:30? I'll tell you why the manager (male wearing a pink shirt) has no experience as a manager clearly Before this sounds like a hate rant I myself work at a pretty face paced well known restaurant, I understand good days and bad days for restaurants but this manager at GRANVILLE clearly has no control or authority over how the turnover of the restaurant looks. Not only myself but several members of the party went up multiple times to ask why the table they were trying to seat us at wasn't being prompted to leave. That same table was dining when my family arrived at 6:30 and most likely finished eating at some point WAY before us getting seated. I physically watched this specific manager who oversees the entire establishment walk upstairs, stare at the party who is just chatting at this point and chose to walk away and do nothing, it took an entirely different set of employees to take initiative and get our table ready by letting the sitting party know there were other customers trying to use the table. If I have to make my point crystal clear, If as a manager, yet alone overseeing business manager, can't have the right speaking skills to plainly let a party know that their time is up what's the point of them running the operation. It just proved to me that money for one party was worth them rotating and seating more customers for them to make more profit. I'll end it with the food being fairly decent and flavorful, but with the gentrified prices they're charging I would hope that at the least. My personal opinion I'm not going to be telling my friends or encouraging anyone to stop here unless they can get the right business mindset together

Upon a serene Sunday evening, the establishment greeted us with an air of tranquility, unmarred by the customary throngs. In a moment of culinary indulgence, I requested the steak, accompanied by a biscuit of such flakiness it seemed to whisper tales of Southern kitchens, and a non-alcoholic beer to clear the palate. The steak presented itself in a state of perfection, while the biscuit, after enrobed in a generous smear of butter, achieved a sublime zenith. My companion opted for shrimp and grits - a dish that danced delightfully on the taste buds. The wine and beer offerings were a testament to the establishment's discerning taste. The decor, a nod to the charm of the South and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans, provided a backdrop that was both comforting and invigorating. This venue, a true jewel, seemed tailor-made for grand gatherings. It's a place I ardently wish to see flourish for years to come, a beacon of culinary delight in a world often too hurried to savor such joys. read more
