Grape Food and Wine Bar — Restaurant in Hobart

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...

I’ve been to grape a fair few times. It’s a good place to dance on fri/sat night however theirs more than often a lady bouncer who uses her control in unprofessional ways. I was out on Friday night and all was good my partner and I got ID and went inside but she wouldn’t let my mate in for something that happened the weekend previously. (We all were having a chill night and had about 2-3 drinks each) so we were all sober. My friend was upset by this so I went back to try and calm him down my partner had just gone inside and had my phone. After trying to calm my friend down I apologised to her for his actions and went to walk in again and go to find my partner. Then She said I was “too drunk” even tho I was clearly sober. I said well I think it’s pretty obvious I’m not she said “well I don’t really care ur not going in anymore ” I couldn’t be bothered arguing with her so I said okay we’ll leave I’m just going to go and get my partner and we’ll go somewhere else, she wouldn’t allow this. Anyways it was all in my opinion completely wrong and unprofessional. It’s embarrassing for grape to employ someone like her. Just seemed like a pretty immature lady and was all pretty disrespectful and...
