I told our waiters, who was FANTASTIC, that after going to many restaurants on Queen Anne over the past 30 years, that Grappa is one of the only ones that I can say has continued to trend upwards in Service, Quality of Food and consistency. While almost all others up here have become stagnant in those areas, Grappa has become a Go-To restaurant.

The food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!

Friendly as we walked through the door. Service was decent and friendly. The dinning area is somewhat small and adds to sound within the room.
