The Grape - International Mall, Tampa, FL

Date: 03/12/2010 and 03/23/10
Time: Drinks/Appetizers Meeting
Type: Wine Bar
Where: International Mall, Tampa, FL
Party: Group between 7-10 Females

Immediate Impression:
I love anyplace which has wine all over the place! Although the purple decor is slightly overwhelming.

Service:
Fantastic! Our server/s, during both visits, were knowledgeable with the selections offered and made suggestions to fit our needs. The manager/owner also came by to welcome us.


Menu/Food:

Our group chose a plethora of small appetizer plates: various meats/cheese, warm feta spread, hummus platter and some other shellfish/nut dishes which I did not have. I LOVE the feta spread - absolutely fantastic; wasn't impressed with the hummus. The cheese platters vary by what people chose, but you can never go wrong with cheese (sorry lactose intolerant peeps)

Price:

On the high end, both for the wine by the glass and the appetizers. Three glasses of Reisling and the feta spread with tip cost $40. Worth it, but I'd be broke it I went to often.


Final thought:
This is a great after-work, small meeting location. Our group was planning a 50th anniversary, and if we the space was not limited in seating capacity, we would have rented it out. I highly recommend visiting and bring some friends!
