Mellow Grapes Miami — Restaurant in Florida

Hidden inside of a strip mall in West Kendall, this wine bar gave me mixed feelings. I came upon it because there was showcasing a comedy show and something different to do on a Saturday night. The place is beautifully decorated as shown in the picture included. The main walkway is comfortable to walk and wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms are 1 stall done with plenty of space and at least the women bathroom was beautiful and cleaned. There is a well made chalk board display but unfortunately found out that the event announcements on it were over a year old and no longer were the events of the place so fault advertising. The service was ok. If there is a "next time" I might opt to seat at the bar. Mine was a table for two. Wine selection. They have a menu 5 pages long. My friend and I are Merlot fans. However out of 5 pages of menu only 4 bottle suggestions for Merlot wines. And prices range from $24 a bottle to $64 a bottle. With two people it is more economic to buy a bottle than a glass at $13 . And of course that $64 bottle of wine had no glass option next to it. When ask which bottle they had in stock of course the only one available was the $64 one. Then the host tried to sell us a " red blend wine". I'm sorry I found that insulting. And even though Red Wine blends are becoming popular lately and for those who want a mixture of grapes, to me they are an upscale of a sangria without the extra apponent of the fruit juices. Were we offered something else nope. However the table next to us overhearing that they had no variables of Merlot, they were actually told of other cocktails that were served. So we ordered water. First glass it came with ice. Then after that a fancy cold bottle of tap water was served and no more ice. ( Not sure if they didn't care to offer ice ( we are in Miami, hot city) or their ice is a minimal commodity. ice machine are not that expensive especially portable ones ) so no more ice. Food: we ordered the "pigs & figs" and the "caprese" flat beards. Freaking amazing. The blends of flavors and textures. Beautiful display and so so good. If I would go back it would be for the food. The food menu is more simply. 4 choices of flatbread, 3 choices of sandwiches, 4 choices of charcuterie, more like a tapas( appetizer) sort of wooden plates. At the end of the night our bill came out to be around $38 with tip. The comedy club was really good. Had a nice time. And at the end of the night won a bottle of champagne...

$100 Gift Card Purchase Money stolen.

I’m extremely disappointed and frustrated with my recent experience at Mellow grapes. I purchased a $100 gift card in good faith, expecting it to be honored like any legitimate transaction. However, not only has the gift card been completely unusable, but the company has also refused to take any responsibility or offer any kind of assistance.

After realizing the card could not be redeemed, I immediately reached out to customer support. I provided all the necessary details proof of purchase, transaction ID, and screenshots yet I received no meaningful help, no resolution, and no acknowledgment of the issue. Every attempt to communicate was either ignored and met with “I’m sorry”

To be sorry should be followed by an action to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, at this point, it’s clear that the company has effectively taken my money without delivering the promised product. That my friends is theft!!!

I’m sharing this review to warn others: do not trust this site with your money. There are plenty of reputable businesses that honor their commitments; this is clearly not one of them. Until they either honor the gift card or refund the full amount, I will continue to speak out and report this behavior. Attached please view the photos showing that their website allows gift cards up to $200 to be bought but not to be redeemed!!!!

I’ll now need to dispute this with the bank — as...

I’ve been to this establishment before for a wine tasting event but this time I came for a friend’s birthday celebration. They reserved an area of the establishment for the event. The staff placed at each table beef empanadas at the beginning of the event with an amazing sauce. The empanadas were warm and good. They also had pizza, sliders, meatballs and charcuterie boards for us to eat from and everything was delicious. The pizza that stood out was the one with dates. It was sweet and savory. Towards the end, the staff placed popcorn at each table. Every time I went to the bar to get wine, the staff ensured they provided the drinks right away. The staff also ensured the tables were kept neat as they picked up plates and glasses throughout the night. The establishment was lively with the country singer and DJ. This event made me realize that this is a great venue to celebrate any big event. I wished I would have taken pictures of the food provided but I had too much fun...
