After a failed walk in attempt at Mi Dia, our group of 7 wandered into Winewood. They were able to seat our party within a few minutes. We ordered a variety of appetizers including tenderloin bruschetta, quail knots, and raw oysters. All were great choices. They came out before our drinks, but we didn't mind. The server was very communicative about the bar backup. My blackberry lemon drop was tasty and not too sweet. My boyfriend and I split the rack of lamb and lobster ravioli. It was the perfect combo and we're both healthy portions. We didn't make it to the dessert menu, but we were happy with the service, price and immediate seating. read more

Pretentiously unpretentious. It feels like a casual and yet upscale stark and seafood house. Service was impeccable including wait staff and servers. We started with the calamari, which was one of the highlights of the dishes. The sauce is spicy with full of flavor. We also tried the tenderloin bruschetta which was an incredible mix. The quail wrapped with bacon was another positive experience. For the main entry, the ribeye is not to miss but only if you are really hungry! The Chilean Seabass was cooked with the perfect combination of scallops and shrimp. Highly recommended. read more

Brunch at Winewood is always a hit! Made a reservation thru Open Table and called the restaurant for a special request. The restaurant had ensured the tables were set and ready for us. We were a large group and were seated immediately. Service was great but there were some delays this time around. The restaurant was not super busy like it usually is on Saturday days. Drinks and food are always spot on and this visit was no different. Everyone enjoyed brunch and the group had a great time. Will definitely be back! read more

Winewood is a very charming restaurant in downtown Grapevine which specializes in American cuisine. Leaning towards upscale dining, this warm and inviting restaurant is a great place to gather. This review focuses on my recent visit for brunch. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Winewood has a phenomenal ambience, starting with its location in downtown Grapevine. Inside, there are deep dark wood booths, tables, and an enclosed, climate-controlled patio expansion that gives it an outdoor feel while remaining comfortable indoors. The noise level can get high if this area is full. 1 Star. Service - Our group of twelve had one server, while very nice, I think could have benefited from having some help. I mention this not because of the size of our group, but because Winewood exudes a very upscale feel, and this would have been a nice touch. Service was friendly, but there were some delays. 1/2 Star. Food - The menus very between brunch, lunch, and dinner. On my Saturday brunch visit I went with the Croque Madam. This ham and cheese grilled sandwich is topped with an egg. Best eaten with a knife and fork, the flavors were good and definitely felt like brunch. But while it was a valiant effort, I've had better versions (I prefer sourdough and cheese melted on the top of the bread). The fruit and yogurt that was served on the side was a home run. The fresh fruit sat in a bowl is a semi-sweet + tart yogurt that completed my meal. Shout out to a fellow Yelper in my party who offered his fruit to me which I happily accepted. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. While my main item didn't hit the mark, the fruit and ambiance are incredible. Winwood really set's the mood. I'll be back to try another brunch item. 1 Star read more

I stopped into the bar while waiting for a table next door (no offense to Winewood! I just wanted Mexican food that night). The ambiance is dark and cool, which was instantly relaxing. The service was efficient and friendly, and my martini was beautifully made: icy and made with a high-quality gin. A side note that I can't blame Winewood for, though, is the high cost of gin in Texas. My martini cost $35, and that was the case at another bar too. Why, Texas? read more

This is a great place and space for a group dining. We held our monthly Unofficial Yelp Event here for the month of February. It was the perfect setting which turned out to be a nice day. We sat at covered patio and it was perfect matched with a great service. I ordered from their 12oz. Prime rib from their brunch/lunch menu -companies with their brunch sangria. Halfway thru my meal, I ordered their Apricot Limoncello cocktail and that was the finally I had hoped for. Refreshing, sweet, tart and just the perfect "wash down" for the great meal I had with the great group of yelpers. read more

We had a great meal here with out of town friends. They have plenty of space inside and out for large parties. Even have large flat screens by the bar for the avid sports fan. All the entrees we ordered were really good. Some highlights included: wagyu strip, ribeye, and jambalaya pasta. The meat was grilled perfectly, nothing tasted overly done. A nice surprise was all of the side dishes. The crab mac and cheese and the potatoes au gratin were delicious, tasted almost better than the main dish. Overall it was a great experience. We'd recommend! read more

Winewood was amazing. They have an extensive wine list, plus signature cocktails & several beers. Food was excellent. We tried the cheeseburger, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, & Cajun eggs Benedict. Great flavor. Ambience is good. They had decent decor, beautiful flower bouquets around, & nice spread out seating so you don't feel cramped. Service was really my only complaint. It was not terrible but was definitely lacking. Our waiter could not keep up with drinks. He seemed a tad flustered even though they were steady but not busy (we ate at 2pm, so after the large lunch rush & he had many other staff working along him). Just my opinion. read more

We celebrated the engagement of my daughter and her fiancé last night at Winewood. The staff at the bar was solid and delivered solid drinks, even brought me anchovies for my martini. I thought the quail appetizer was very good but the rest of the meal was meh. It wasn't bad but lacked a savory taste that I would expect from a $30 plate. My girlfriend and I had pecan encrusted trout and the snapper respectively. Again it was underwhelming for the price. Worse, we saw the price of a steak was $85. Considering how disappointed we were with the seafood (their specialty) I cannot believe the steak wood merit such a price. What really ticked me off is they seated us in a room with hard surfaces that prevented us from hearing each other or the staff. I had to ask our waiter to move to my end of the table and repeat the night's specials. And I still had trouble understanding what he said. I also hated when the staff returned to the table to check on us and interrupted the conversation - rude. For the price we paid, I would expect to hear the people around the table and enjoy the conversation. It would have been better to seat us away from other patrons as we didn't want to hear their conversation. I suggest they put some soft, sound absorbing materials in the patio area where we sat. In short, the bar experience was solid but the food was mediocre when considering the price, with the exception of the quail. Worse the acoustics were terrible and the staff need to,learn how / when to speak to customers when they are in conversation with each other. While it's not as convenient, Lovers Seafood or even Pork and Pig would be better choices - certainly easier to hear and better prices. read more

Extremely disappointing experience at Winewood. Ordered the pork chops, which arrived overcooked to the point of being rock-hard -- completely inedible. Sent them back and replaced with the lamb chops, hoping for better. Somehow it was even worse: burnt black on the bones from open flame, yet still rare and cold in the middle. How do you manage to burn AND undercook the same dish? At these prices, the bare minimum expectation is that the kitchen knows how to cook meat properly. Two dishes, two failures. I won't be back. read more

We tend to go for a nice luncheon with work here, however it's not a fast pace so allow time to enjoy conversation with your people. We started with the spinach dip serves with chips. Very tasty and lots of spinach. Our table had the pan seared red snapper with asparagus. I've had better cooked snapper but with the balsamic dressing it was great. Now the crab cakes were amazing! Plenty of crab meat! Mac n cheese w bacon bites , what can i say but Scrumdiddlyumptious! The beef tenderloin was moist and juicy with a large side of mashed potatoes. Trout was kinda dry but plenty of broccoli. For dessert we had the crème brûlée that was so creamy and the top was hard, perfect read more

We were able to get a last minute reservation to Winewood on New Years Eve. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Our waitress was just best and took great care of us as well as being fun. I had the Seafood Trio and have to say the Chilean Sea Bass was the best I have had in the Metroplex. The calamari was delicious as well. This was our first time to visit and we will be back! read more

Run don't walk to Winewood! I cannot sing the praises of this restaurant enough. Every dish we had at the table was not only delicious but beautifully plated. The chef is amazing.

We came here with friends who recommended it, and wow! The food was absolutely fantastic. Not just some of the food--all of it was so delicious! Definitely give the Quail Knots a try. The waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly, and our drinks were never empty. I was surprised at how busy the restaurant was on a Wednesday at 8pm, but it was crowded enough that we had to talk loudly to converse at the table. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be coming back again. read more

Visited Grapevine, Texas, and followed ChatGPT's dinner recommendation--so glad we did! The service was excellent, and we felt right at home. The beet salad was stunning and delicious, with beets, strawberries, edible flowers, and radish. We had the tomahawk pork chop with mashed potatoes--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with creamy, smooth potatoes. Highly recommend this spot for an amazing dinner experience! read more

We started with some drinks at the bar before dinner. Martinis were well made and service was great. We had a party of five for dinner and had some fillets. And a Cordon bleu with some sides. Side salad was a nice feature. Service was very good and the decor is Beautiful. It wasn't real crowded, but we were very comfortable with the noise level in the restaurant. There's something that bothers me with the pricing. If I'm gonna pay 75 bucks a person I think I might go to a higher level steakhouse, but we enjoyed ourselves. It was the birthday girls pick. read more

Amazing food, service, atmosphere, and drinks. Very warm and inviting. Will definitely be back.

Our family chose Winewood Grill for what we hoped would be a memorable Christmas dinner in the "Christmas Capital of Texas." With seven of us celebrating together and a bill exceeding $700, we anticipated an evening that matched both the reputation of Grapevine during the holidays and the warm, festive charm of the restaurant's main dining areas. To Winewood's credit, the atmosphere upon entry was exactly what we were hoping for..beautifully decorated, lively, warm, and filled with holiday energy. Christmas lights, music, and a bustling dining room set the perfect tone. Unfortunately, the experience shifted dramatically when we were led through that inviting space and into a stark, undecorated back room that felt more like a corporate meeting space than part of a holiday dining experience. The lighting was harsh, the décor nonexistent, and the silence (aside from the sound of silverware being retrieved from storage in the same room) was genuinely uncomfortable. Instead of a festive Christmas dinner, it felt like we had been placed in overflow seating with no ambiance at all. For an occasion as special as a family Christmas meal, this was a significant disappointment. Our server, to his credit, was excellent--friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and confident in his recommendations. We ordered the special surf-and-turf entrée, all cooked medium-rare. While everyone else's meals arrived correctly, mine was extremely overcooked...very very well-done by any standard. I almost never send food back, but given the price point and special occasion, it needed to be right. What followed was the most discouraging part of the evening. It took over 20 minutes for my replacement entrée to arrive, during which the rest of my family had nearly finished eating. When the corrected plate finally came, it arrived without the "turf," requiring another wait. The person who brought it wasn't our original waiter and offered little acknowledgment of the disruption. There was no apology, no offer of a small bite while waiting, and no gesture on the bill...not even something as simple as removing the cost of the entrée that had delayed the entire experience. It was treated as casually as forgetting to refill a water glass. At this price point, and for a holiday dinner meant to be special, the lack of accommodation made the mistake feel much larger than it had to be. Scores Ambience: 1/5 (Main dining room: beautiful. Assigned room: completely opposite.) Value: 2/5 (A $700+ meal should never feel this uneven.) Food: 4/5 (When prepared correctly, very good.) Friendliness & Accommodation: 2/5 (Great server, but no recovery effort from the kitchen or management.) Winewood Grill clearly has the potential to deliver a wonderful dining experience. The entrance and main areas show that. But placement in a stark back room with no atmosphere, combined with a mishandled entrée and no meaningful service recovery, made what should have been a special Christmas dinner feel disappointing and awkward. I don't enjoy posting negative reviews, but this experience missed nearly every mark that a holiday evening of this cost and intention should meet. With some attention to guest placement and more proactive service recovery, Winewood could have turned this into a very different review. read more

Food was so so. Wife believes her fish was not cooked well and made her sick. My ribeye was charred and was not enjoyable. Ambiance was not great because we were sat on the enclosed patio but would have preferred to be inside where there was seating available. They got rid of my favorite dish which was a steak with bleu cheese, bacon, and jam. We used to come here a few years ago for special nights. Now we would rather go somewhere else, even for more frequent nights out. Cost was not an issue but even if the steak was $10, I'd rather go to Texas Roadhouse. Not a great experience and do not know when we will be back. Prefer Mi Dia, Truluck's, Mesero, Perry's, or other. Will try Bob's next time read more

4.5/5 Stars **** I've been to the Winewood couple of times over the years but just now reviewing given my recent visit. This review covers brunch. Food - The food is quite excellent. For starters, my party had the schezuan calamari and lobster Mac and cheese. The calamari is fantastic. It comes in "steak" chunks and is breaded differently than other fine dining establishments. The sauce that comes with it is absolutely fantastic. The lobster Mac and cheese is so creamy and flavorful. My party devoured it. The entrees included a sandwich, chicken fried steak, and a prime rib. The entire party thought the food was excellent, especially for the price. Two members had mimosas, pineapple and grapefruit. They're ok and get the job done. Staff will accommodate if you let them know it's your birthday. Service - No complaints. The staff and waiter were friendly and attentive. Ambiance - From location to the interior decor, this is a classy place. Seating is very good with ample space and privacy for your party. Winewood is a good Grapevine staple. No regrets ever eating here. read more

Winewood - Complimentary Birthday Dessert - New American Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Don't get me wrong: the food here is delicious, the service is competent, the location is convenient and the ambience is decent. The rub? When I dined here, the server suggested a daily special that sounded awesome. The only detail left unsaid was its eye watering price: $44, nearly twice the typical entree at this place. I fell for it, a coworker fell for it, and it didn't sit right. Which is too bad. read more

Great service. Willing to go above and beyond for all the different allergies at the table and a great experience. The food was good, not great. Especially for the price. I've had five star steak before and this place is aiming for it, but isn't quite there. Not saying this as a critisizm at all, but it's clearly aiming to be something more than it is. read more

Yesterday was my first time here and I must say, I had the best experience. I wanted a relaxing restaurant to have dinner with a girlfriend and this was the perfect spot.

I would definitely recommend the Mac and cheese with the lobster added, it was a 10/10! read more

I know I post a lot of 5 star reviews. For good reasons. I am in the restaurant business and am aware of issues restaurants face. No one is perfect. Fortunately for me I see only the good in food service. Winewood has been exemplary for a place to dine. Great atmosphere. If you have to wait for a table there is a great bar, to bide your time until your table is ready. The staff is very professional, and I have seen the way they handle the most difficult of customers professionally. The kitchen staff is brilliant. I recommend if you have a special event in your family this is where you want to be. read more

First off, I would like to give props to the servers. They were out of their way to facilitate our ever-growing party. Outstanding! Regarding the food, it was good but not amazing. The ahi tuna was cooked properly, which is good, but the tuna looked a bit old based on the color. The flavor and smell was fine. The "Asian vegetables" consisted of a few slivers of carrots. The rice noodles made up a twisted bouffont on top of some skinny "soba" noodles. No, it was like veggie spaghetti. The sauce was a good complement to the fish but was unnecessarily spicy. Not annoyingly so but unnecessarily. Yes, I chose a difficult dish to rate but I thought this place would be up to the challenge. Kinda yes, mostly no. read more

This is not my first time at Winewood, and definitely won't be my last. I will say that I do prefer their brunch menu on the weekends, but this is also a good spot for lunch during the week. A little more upscale than you would expect from someplace like Chili's or lazy dog, and the food is always good. I did think the smoked Gouda mac & cheese was overly rich, I probably didn't even eat half of it because of that, but will take the leftovers with me. read more

The pictures and reviews looked good but this place was garbage. I'd like to be kind and say my visit was so garbage because I went on a weekend, about 90 min before close. I'd like to say that but I doubt it. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. garbage. I'm not the most sophisticated diner, but I've been to restaurants, including nice and upscale. My sense is that this place and staff think more of themselves and their establishment than they should. The staff was extremely rude and condescending. I didn't complain at all or push back, which I normally would in such a situation, but I was with company and did not desire to engage the staff's horrible demeanor. I had one question about one of the specials, and I was talked to like I was dumb or low class. It was extremely inappropriate. The server, in an condescending tone, started asking me if I new what certain food items were. The salmon, which I ordered medium-well came back rare and barely cooked. I wasn't going to make an issue but the server started pressing me on how it was and I told him undercooked. He then got upset and demanded that I affirmatively tell him to take it back, which was unnerving because I wasn't going to bring it up. Then the manager comes over and says they'd prepare another salmon but that it will still be pink. I know what color salmon is, everyone does. This was another example of an under the surface condescension that the staff exuded. The drinks were normal. Specialty drinks were unremarkable. I would've had dessert but I just wanted to get out of there and put the establishment and it's ugly energy behind me. read more
