Grape Food and Wine Bar reviews
30 Had to ask how much longer the food was going to take after waiting over 25 mins on a not very busy day. Came straight away after asking.
Food was lukewarm at best, which was interesting considering it was bought out on a heated plate.
Not impressed.
Food was nice in taste but not great value for money. Needed to have more vegetables on plates and steak was cooked medium and not medium rare. This could have been due to thickness.
I love this set up. Outdoor seatings. It was a sunny day so the weather was great. Atmosphere was casual and it was very cosy. If I tell you the Gospel truth this was the ever best Pizza I have eaten in whole of Australia. So flavourism. Absolutely delicious. Fulfilled my taste buds. Sensational.
Jess & Dustin’s customer service was good & they are friendly as well.
Good food, great wine. Had the salt and pepper calamari and the seafood pizza - both very tasty. Also tried several different Red Tassie wines which were excellent. Reasonable prices considering the rent in Salamanca place would be ridiculous.
Good selection of wine and food. Came here the day before a public holiday so it was very busy and took $35 minutes for a single pizza. Pizza was delicious. Worth a visit, maybe just not when it is busy.
The experience overall can be summarised as a standard tourist wine bar, with a touch of intended class in Salamanca. I can’t help but feel as though this venue isn’t as passionate about their fromage and vino as first promised. We ordered the cheese board and some wine, the fromage. As someone who regularly dines at licensed fromageries I must say the cheese board was introductory, with blue that was underwhelming subtle on the palate and a interesting pairing taste profile of crackers (for my GF pals out there you will be greeted with loaf bread).
A very nice indoor setting with multiple seating options including very spacious booths. We had the fat chips w/ aioli and the Grazing Board with spicy capsicum dip instead of hommus. The missus also got the Tasmanian White Wine Flight.
The chips were indeed thick and quite crunchy, seasoned well and generous in portion size. The aioli tasted like a slightly garlic mayonnaise though, which was a disappointment because the spicy capsicum dip was quite nice.
Moving onto the pictured Grazing Board, the lamb (barely pictured on the right) was literally falling off the bone as we picked it up and was covered in a delicious saucey marinade. I was a fan of the karaage chicken, although my better half let me have the third and largest piece. I didn't really care for the pumpkin and feta arancini balls, but my partner liked them despite the unnecessarily spicy bolognese sauce beneath them, and the salad was a standard Greek, though I don't remember there being any feta in it. The bread was perfect, with the perfect balance of crunch and softness that tied very well with the capsicum dip. The calamari, however, was a bit of a disappointment when compared to all of the other local calamari offerings we had tried during our stay in Hobart.
My partner seemed to enjoy the wines, but I'm not much of a drinker, so I can't really comment on that.
All in all a decent experience, despite being given the old "not to rush you guys" at 9: 40 when the website said closing time was 11. I would give a 4.5 if I had the option.
Get new bouncers! Or teach your current ones some manners! They're super rude for no reason and made me leave straight away and go to one of the other places around. Maybe make customers feel welcome if you want them to spend money at your establishment instead of being rude to them?
Third time in Tassie, Third time visiting Grape. Everytime I have had the steak here it has been amazing. Great location. Only thing I could fault would be the house Shiraz.
For any vegan or vegeterian folks out there, especially the travellers this is a veggie friendly place for you! We stumbled at Grape Food by chance, and I was ready to do the usual cull out the food menu routine not realising that there were vegan options as it wasn't advertised. Definitely try their pumpkin, artichoke and vegan cheese pizza. The pizza was done so well even my non-vegan companion had agreed and people were stopping by asking what I had ordered and they too decided to order the same thing! We also had pumpkin salad & the gnocchi which is hands down one of the best gnocchi's I have had thus far. The restaraunt is in an excellent location where they have fantastic markets on Saturdays and close to the pier.
