We went on a weekday night, and restaurant was pretty quiet. Service was okay- somewhat slow. Servers not very engaged. Food was good to very good.

Our hostess was friendly and helpful. She answered our questions fully and recommended a beverage that we both enjoyed (the pomegranate lemonade, yum!). The food was delicious and the portions were just the right amount. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Grape Leaves, and we will definitely be back!

From the warm welcome when we entered, to the server’s help with the menu, to the food itself, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Everything tasted wonderful. The highlight was the Moroccan lamb tagine. We will look forward to returning.

Fantastic food and great server but they were short staffed and our server had to help in the kitchen as well as the entire dining room and carry out. Apparently someone called in sick.
