Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Lady of the Grapes in Covent Garden offers a charming and intimate atmosphere, perfect for wine enthusiasts. With an impressive selection of organic wines, predominantly from female winemakers, it's a haven for connoisseurs. Guests rave about the "superb choice of well-kept cheeses and charcuterie" and the "great wine list championing female wine makers." Service is friendly, and the tapas-style dishes, while sometimes considered on the pricier side, are delicious. Ideal for a cozy gathering with friends or a casual drink.

Lovely intimate space with an interesting food offering and good wines. Buzzy but not loud. Good spot for small bites, a glass of wine and a catch-up with a friend.

We booked well in advance for a pre show dinner. After bringing us some snacks we were ignored. We had chosen an expensive bottle of wine, there are no cheap ones, and we waited to order our main meal. Eventually, when we caught someone’s attention, we were told that no food from the main courses was available. This was early on a Saturday night. Needless to say, we won’t be returning to this establishment.

The food and quality and voice of wine was great as always. However, four glasses of wine and a charcuterie board (3 cheeses/1 meat) for £124 is overpriced. Service was both slow and poor. Nuts served with the cheese when staff knew of severe nut allergy is particularly concerning. Ambience good but Very loud. It’s a small place so to be fair, noise levels will be louder.
