Grapes And Beans - Clayton

The wife and I were sightseeing in the area and decided to drop in for some late lunch and a drink. What a great spot. The vibe was great the staff were friendly (a bit stressed from being short staffed) we let them know we were in no particular hurry. Being in retail we know how stressful it is. You want to serve everyone and you want to deliver exceptional service. Well that’s exactly what we received. The food was great and the drinks were spectacular. The owner and her staff were above and beyond. Perfect setting and so relaxing. Thank you for all you do the community is fortunate to have you and your passion.

Wonderful, fresh food with a focus on local purveyors. The menu is concise but thoughtful; there was something for everyone in our group. Everything was perfectly prepared and just so tasty. We sat out on the patio which is really lovely and has a great vibe.When the bill came I had to check it several times because the total seemed too low for the number of people in our party and the amount of food we ordered. Seriously great value.This is easily my new favorite in the area and I can’t wait to visit again and try the cocktails.PS Don’t skip dessert the homemade cakes are chef’s kiss!

I wish that I could give a zero. I understand a busy holiday lunch crowd. What I don’t understand is after waiting close to 40 minutes for a salad, a grilled cheese and a cup of soup and pointing out that people seated well after we had placed our order were getting their food, the waitress chided that our order was slower because of the grilled cheese. Then after being assured that our order was coming out soon….then being assured by another employee that we had not even spoken to that orders are filled as submitted, our waitress came to our table to apologize that she had failed to submit our order. Seriously?When a couple has waited on their food for 40 minutes and is then told that the kitchen did not have the order…well, there is not any service recovery to fix that. And, if when I first pointed out that I saw two tables of people seated after us get their food the staff had not man-splaned reasons for the slow service before actually trying to expedite our order…there MAY have been some forgiveness. (And…it was two women did the man-splaning. They had the tone perfect.

I ate there last week for the first time—I am so impressed! It was recommended by our innkeeper, and I’m so glad we went. The BLT is marvelous and if there’s honey lavender cake, GET IT.

First, the people who run the restaurant are lovely. They are a sincere couple. Ultimately there are three issues with this restaurant 1) the service is so sadly slow. Wait times can exceed more than one should ever wait 2) the food although quality is overpriced. and lastly 3) Its just plainly overhyped. I know that this may not come off as a positive review, because the people are very genuine who run this restaurant. But its very overhyped. If you're visiting town I would save yourself the trouble.
