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.
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.
A wedding anniversary dinner with family was marvelous. As always, the atmosphere downstairs was great, service was wonderful and the food was excellent. The "Not So Cheap Dates" are always a favorite.
Very good food and great vibe. Downstairs has the best vibe but a bit loud as it echos, while upstairs has a quaint rustic charm of an historical house. While expensive, the food is totally worth it. Highly recommend. Our server was also very nice and helpful.
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!
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.
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 :)
Outstanding food and presentations. Seafood and salads are also very tasty. Steaks was cooked perfectly. The staff are so friendly, and give great suggestions for wine pairing. Highly recommend!
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.
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)
