However happy with menu choices and one of the specials was also vegetarian. Really enjoyed the food and the gooseberry and... More

My husband and I visited the Grape and Olive on bank holiday Sunday to celebrate his birthday. On booking we asked if it was possible to have seat overlooking the bay and the one we were given was superb! After reading various trip advisor reviews we weren't expecting a great deal in the way of service but I have to... More

A friend and I had a lunch time meal in the Grape and Olive yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The waitress that served us was very pleasant and polite and the service was excellent. She was most helpful. The food was good and the view from our table outstanding!

So ... Last night my fiance took me out for a special couple of drinks as a surprise, and we went to the Grape and Olive. Big mistake. Huge mistake. We got into the lift, which smelt terrible. More on that later. Got to the bar, about ten to ten. People were finishing their meals, and it wasn't particularly busy.... More

Went here for our daughters 17th birthday, all I can say what a very disappointing evening, the only good part of it was the veiw! As for the food I wouldn't serve it to anyone. Service wasn't great either.

A few friends and I recently attended an engagement party here, and it was lovely. Even though drinks were very pricey (my bottles of Gallo wine costing more than double the prices of a shop), the food, stunning views, lovely function suite and friendly staff made up for it. There was a wonderful atmosphere and the woman on the front... More

Service is exceptionally slow - waitress service only even for just drinks. Views are spectacular but wouldn't go back. Nearly £9 for glass of wine. Returned for brunch which after 30 minutes of waiting we abandoned in protest. Felt sorry for waiting staff who are instructed to patronise you by saying "its all cooked from scratch" when you ask where... More
