Update on past review. Went again week before last: what a difference from my 1st visit. Food was great, service was great and I finally found the FULL wine list which was far more comprehensive than what I was given before. Wine prices are very high compared to the cost or even retail. I met the owner and told her about my initial experience. She was concerned and explained that they had been having some trouble in the kitchen but that is seems to be worked out. The Blackened Beef Tips (filet mignon in a gorganzola sauce with Blue Cheese chunks) was fabulous! I do recommend you try this restaurant, knowing that it is not cheap. Would be great for a date, ask for the cellar room. read more

This is a super cute and delicious restaurant. I only took a picture of the bacon wrapped dates because a colleague recommended it. I was too busy enjoying the food and forgot other pictures. What we had: appetizers: sampler cheese platter, bacon wrapped dates, scallops and tenderloin. Nothing else to say but delicious. Dinner: duck, schnitzel, filet and chicken linguine. Amazing. Nothing but good things to say about this please. Go check them out. They have a ice beverage selection and have alcohol free wine if you need it. read more

The Grape Tap - Bacon wrapped dates - Diners Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

I haven't been here for almost 5 years. This place is lovely. Great spot, lovely ambience and excellent service. The decor is elegant and although the space is small, it's classy and chic. We had a delicious dinner and great wine. The wine flights are spectacular. Fresh, delicious and refreshing food choices. Tip: ask to sit downstairs when you make a reservation. It's like a lovely wine cellar. Pretty touches throughout and sweet little "nooks" for conversation. read more

My wife and I visited The Grape Tap for our first time this evening and had a wonderful experience! The scallop appetizer was absolutely delicious and the kind waitress recommended bread with the scallops to soak up the sauce. Excellent recommendation because the sauce was outstanding as well! We enjoyed our dinners with wine and then ordered the deconstructed lemon cheesecake. It was a wonderful way to end the meal, very tasty and not too heavy (the Mud pie look yummy and we will get that next time). This evening met and exceeded our expectations! Excellent food, and service with a smile! We will definitely be back. read more

My wife and I went there for my Birthday dinner. We have been here many times, but I just have to give credit where credit is due. Moana was our waitress (I think she goes by T.K.?), and she was outstanding as well as the Roast duck I ordered. If you have never tried the duck, try it! Outstanding! I'm a beef eater but I order the duck every time we go to Grape Tap. We had excellent service "Moana" and the food was awesome! read more

I have been trying to go here for what seems like forever. I mean, not forever, but at least since they opened. Why? It's a rare, highly-regarded restaurant in Wasilla. And when it first opened, I was doing a lot of stuff in the Denali/Healy area. I'd be driving back to Anchorage Sunday, and I'd be hangry, and I couldn't find anything decent to eat, so I'd just have to "hold it" until I got to Anchorage. (often as everywhere was closing...) Fast-forward to now: I've been working in Wasilla all week (I don't want to talk about it) and I finally got an opportunity to give it a shot! I was alone and sat at the bar. The bartender was really friendly and wasted no time explaining the specials to me. (there needs to be a word for the phenomenon of ordering your food, then seeing a server...even worse if they are YOUR server...explaining the specials to another table...specials that would've changed what you ordered! THE HORROR.) She also placed some seasoned nuts for me to snack on, these things were INCREDIBLE. They had a nice sweet/salty/savory mix of seasonings on them, I'm literally salivating thinking of them right now. I ordered a sparkling Rose from NZ for $12. Which is actually pretty good for wine in Alaska. I also ordered the lamb which was spendy ($38), but about what you would expect to pay up here in the 49th. While I was waiting...some yoga moms came up to the bar and started making small talk with each other. It was surreal. Why? Because the conversations they were having were so stereotypical...they felt like a bad SNL sketch! One that you would watch and say "that's ridiculous, yoga ladies aren't REALLY like that!". The lamb eventually came out, and it was perfectly cooked. A nice medium-rare. (they didn't ask me how I wanted it cooked, which is maybe how it should be) A true medium rare. Not an Alaska medium rare...that's usually grey in the center...there was a nice pink...to match my wine? My only real complaint is that the portioning was quite small. I know, I know, fancy places like this aren't supposed to have big portions. I'm grading it against other "fine dining" places down in Anchorage. Those spots definitely have bigger portions than here. I think there were THREE asparagus spears? THREE? There were also only three lamb chops. Still, if I lived in Wasilla (Set forbid!), I'd come here often. This is where all the non-Trumpy people in town hang out. (all 17 of them) read more

Always a wonderful experience at the grape tap! Spectacular services, relaxed vibe. Great place for a date or just dropping in for dinner. And I will say the seared ahi is the best appetizer in Alaska right now! read more

We went here for our anniversary last night and had a great experience. Plenty of parking out front across the street. Repurposed old home that was cute and intimate. Everything was very clean and well kept. We skipped hors d'oeuvre's and my wife had a small beet salad which she loved. For the main course we both had the roasted duck with vegetables and brown rice. It was amazing. Highly recommend. Service was prompt, polite and informed. We shared a berry cobbler desert and called it a night. Delicious. Great little restaurant in Wasilla. read more

The cutest upscale restaurant in Wasilla. It's very intimate setting was perfect for our 22nd anniversary. Our waitress was prompt and kind, despite being busy. She never made us feel rushed. We started with drinks I had a lavender infused champagne, so good. Like I mentioned our waitress was awesome. She was even so sweet to make me a half salad of the beet salad. It was very good and I appreciate her for doing that. New favorite salad. My husband and I both ordered the roasted duck entree for dinner. It was so good. And had the berry cobbler for dessert. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommend. read more

First off....please do not forget about this place existing like I have numerous of times! Second...Don't be deceived by the outside of this place! It's a whole new world when you go inside..almost life changing. Third...yes the reviews do not lie. The food is that good! Honestly, I went in concerned about basically "getting your bang for your buck". Sure the food has rave reviews, pictures look amazing, prices are wowza..so automatically I'm thinking..."food portions are tiny". Simply not the case. I wouldn't say it's generous like other places but it's perfect. Not small..and not gluttony huge. Perfecto! Yes! The complimentary nuts on the table is in fact tasty. It's also the beginning of your food journey here because some of the appetizers has the same sense of spice to it. Let's start with the appetizers: the scallops! Yum! Yum! Yum! It's super good..the creamy sauce that goes with it, I freakin can't even! So good! The scallops are the cute ones though, so don't expect the mama sized scallops. Also, yeah..I ordered the "not so cheap dates"...and it was super good. I've been on this whole new figs/dates with some savory flava and yummy cheese I can't even pronounce but taste awesome! Definitely must get apps. Now for din din: Yep! Me and Lamb! I love me my lamb! It was totally worth it too! I love how they took the classic approach on the lamb w/ mint jelly (though it's a mint sauce) ( jelly is too out dated) thank you for bringing it back with style. (Heart emoji). I appreciated every bite and the mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly along with the roasted super cute veggies. Love love love. My husband ordered the New York. It was beautiful..he also was silent through the entire meal..so it was all that and then some. Super full and overly satisfied diners that's for sure. Before I end this lovely evening review..our waitress was amazing. I forgot her name but her last name was "Turkay". She's was ridiculously amazing. So kudos and shout out to her always..also the infused champagnes are worth it! Our fave: Lavender Kiss! Mmmmm. Thanks for making our anniversary dinner worth while. We will be back. P.S: please call before hand and book a reservation for dinner, seating is very limited. read more

Amazing. This place belongs in a unique category. I felt like a part of a the family. The Grape Tap family. When I mentioned to my server/bartender that I hadn't been before, she took me on a tour of the whole place (hence all the pics). There are four main sections here: 1. The main area. It's located when you come in and has a variety of small tables for small groups. 2. The bar area. This is to the right of the front door. It's small and intimate with about four bar chairs and a little couch area for lounging. 3. The downstairs "cellar." This is easily the most intimate component of the restaurant with a table in a room with all the wine bottles and a special booth that everyone deserves. 4. The outside seating area. Available seasonly, this is a wide open area of flowers, trees, and plants they actually use in their recipes! I sat by myself at the bar and went for the full course meal. I tried a flight of wines so I could sample a few before diving in. So glad I did. All the wines were delicious, but their "expensive" pour wasn't my favorite. Why assume the 18 dollar glass of wine is better than the 10? From there I moved onto the salad. It was a mixed green salad with blueberries and nuts and holy delicious! I believe the dressing was home made. The final portion was a perfectly cooked, thick, New York Strip with a pimento cheese spread on top with a potato casserole and broccoli. A heavenly meal. I was going to take the extras home, but there were none. It all just disappeared. I do not give five stars lightly, but this experience was worth 6 stars. I can't wait to take my wife here! The servers are in charge of curating the wine collection so they are skilled and knowledgeable about the wine. I was very impressed with their explanations. read more

Incredible food! The owner was our server, and did an incredible job! Restaurant was busy, but kept up for a Friday night. Try the "Not so cheap Dates" they are well worth it! I had the Caprese Chicken Pasta, was incredible. Also, the table nuts are addicting. For dessert we had the strawberry rhubarb crisp and OMG. CHECK OUT THE GRATTO AND THE BAR CEILING! read more

Food was amazing even though my steak was overcooked. No liquor. Great ambience. Definitely will go back and request to sit downstairs. Seating near door was chaotic, cramped and cold. read more

My husband & I went here based off several friends' suggestions. I just didn't think it quite lived up to the hype THE PROS: AMAZING NUTS ON EVERY TABLE, super cute aesthetic/decor, great reputation & unique menu options ( I could literally eat the nuts by the pound, so my expectations were set high for flavor after that ) the waitress was also very kind & attentive. + I ordered the mudslide pie & it was DELICIOUS THE CONS: We tried calling to make a reservation and got a voicemail - hung up not realizing we were meant to leave a message for a table. (Our fault, I understand). SO, we showed up 20 mins after open with NO available seating besides a tiny, wobbly table, smushed into a corner, & right in front of the door. This really ruined the atmosphere as a cold draft was constantly coming in for those waiting in the entry for a table to open. I don't know why anyone would ever put a table there. We ordered based off the waitresses' recommendations & got a steak flat bread that was the special, and the prawn nachos I had heard so much about. Both came out only slightly warm & underwhelming with flavor. The steak and shrimp were both bland. Especially for the price, I could have skipped both. While I did love the flavor of the pie, it came out ROCK SOLID. CONCLUSION: I would still go again, but this time with a reservation & better menu choices! read more

This is my favorite place to go for girls' nights with my best friends. The atmosphere is so cozy, the food is always amazing and the service is top-notch. The appetizers are everyone's favorite, we usually order one of each and a bottle of wine and snack while we visit. It really is a hidden gem in the Mat Su. I'm patiently waiting for the trio of dips to return, but aside from that, it's always perfect :) read more

Yes....just YES. I loved the old house feel, much like Marx Bros. in Anchorage. It started with lovely wine options. Then we picked some tasty appetizers. We had the ahi, the artichoke dip, and the bacon wrapped dates. The ahi comes with a crunchy rice side that is a perfect match. The bacon wrapped dates were very good. The artichoke dip was meh...comes with pita bread and it just lacked flavor and depth. Next up was dinner. I had the sliders and they were pretty good, not as flavorful as I anticipated. The filet was outstanding and cooked to perfection. This is my new favorite place to splurge and have a special date night. read more

Phenomenal. Hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. We reserved the downstairs wine cellar to celebrate my sisters birthday party and had a fantastic experience! This is one of the oldest houses/buildings in Wasilla and they've transformed it into such a chic and romantic restaurant. The rock floors and walls made us feel like we were in a James Bond movie. The overall aesthetic matches their superior food. Our party of 7 collectively practically tried everything on the menu and were extremely impressed and satisfied. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant for a girls night, date night, or any celebration! read more

The food and service was 5 star all the way. Giving 4 stars because its crowded and was hot inside. The little house is cute, but less tables and more space would be nice. I get it though, they need to make money. Jasmine was our server and was wonderful. I ordered surf n turf and my steak was cooked perfectly. It was mouth watering. Appetizers, nachos and ahi were great and wine was lovely. I look forward to going back to try other dishes read more

We came here as a post deployment celebration with my husband and absolutely loved it. It's so cozy and has so much character on the inside. Very romantic and quaint. We made reservations and ate down in the wine cellar, I thought it would maybe be a little chilly but it was perfect. We enjoyed everything we ordered and it came out very quickly. I'm going to be dreaming about the bacon wrapped dates later, they were so good & the bacon was cooked perfectly all the way around. The perfect mix is sweet & savory. I had the duck entree and the meat was very juicy, smoky, and tender. I would just say that in the description on the menu it had habanero in it but I didn't taste any habanero at all. The sauce tasted more like a sweet bbq glaze to me. It was still very good I was just expecting to have a little kick in the sauce and it wasn't there. For dessert we had the fruit crisp with vanilla icecream, it had lots of apple, cinnamon, and was nice and crispy on the top. Definitely recommend coming here! Excellent service, warm cozy atmosphere, and fantastic food. read more

Took my mom here for her birthday. Delicious! Hands down our favorite. Service was superb also! Every single dish was exquisite. And the wine was so good. Coming back soon. read more

A bit pricey however the food is delicious and they have a decent wine list. Make your reservation to sit downstairs.

The atmosphere was good. Nice setting for a quiet dinner. We had brie as a starter. The main course we had fell flat. Under seasoned is one word you could use for my wife's dinner. Salt could have gone along way. Mine was even weirder. I had the Grecian prawns. They were little shrimp from the frozen isle at Carr's. Weird flavors throughout the dish. Did not live up to the menu description whatsoever. Not worth a $125 tab that's for sure. It would take a lot for me to go back here read more

The go to date night spot in the Valley just happens to be the best vibe in town. Do yourself a favor and reserve a table downstairs then sit back and enjoy one of the coolest spots in Alaska. The food is always top notch and the menu changes depending on seasonal availability. You'll have a tough time finding anything on the menu that isn't prepare in house. The wine selection is vast and offers a great opportunity to branch out and try something new. The staff is very knowledgeable and will help find a perfect bottle for whatever occasion your dining for. read more

Great food, great service, amazing environment! The atmosphere was great for conversation and connection.

Had dinner with a large group of friends. Server kinda forgot about us on the end of the table and did a lousy job of keeping our refreshments full. When we did see her she was quite unpleasant. Good thing for her sake there was an 18% gratuity otherwise I was leaning towards 10% at best. $40 for a $12.00 twist cap bottle of wine. I had the Fruit De Mar which was advertised to have crab, shrimp and scallops. The dish was heavy on the Alfredo sauce to the point my three shrimp, two scallops and thumbnail size piece of crab were swimming in it. Fiancée had the special which was halibut. The halibut was a generous portion but it was over cooked and dry....no worries, we were able to trick those taste buds by dunking the fish into my Alfredo soup. The basil pilaf was very tasty. Solo guitarist was a nice touch. About as good as fine dining will get you in Watucky. Second time dining here in three years. Likely my last. read more
