Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Grandstaff & Stein offers a "fun speakeasy vibe" with a memorable entrance through a bookcase. Guests love the "delicious crab dip" and "crafty cocktails." While the food and ambiance are praised, the service can be unpredictable, impacting the overall experience. Many enjoy its unique setting and plan to return for the atmosphere.

    I have walked by this place so many times and always wondered why don’t I see anyone inside? Well I got my answer!!! It was an amazing vibe, quaint and tucked away so that we could experience the scene! The ambiance is ideal for a date night or like us ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. The food was amazing, service was decent, but honestly nothing to complain about. I read the reviews ahead of time about staffing so we were prepared. We will return!!!

    We had a party of 6 for dinner. 3 people ordered alcoholic beverages; 1 person ordered a mocktail. 2 of the 3 alcoholic drinks were not satisfactory; the additional alcoholic beverage and mocktail were quite good. We ordered 2 appetizers - both were incredibly bad with 1 being inedible - several people tried it and no one liked it so not a matter of preference. We ordered 6 different entrees. The chicken piccata arrived with a dry chicken breast - nothing else. Shrimp and grits were ok - nothing special; a bit bland. Crab cakes were acceptable. Steak was good. Chicken parmesan was ok - very little pasta with a ton of red pepper flakes so spicy but not really flavorful. Gnocchi was evidently the same - loaded with red pepper flakes, no other flavor. I was surprised as this restaurant claimed to be "fine dining." Hostess was very nice. Waiter acted like we were an inconvenience. Almost $300 tab for sub par food and bad service. Very disappointed.

    Have been a few times in the past. This time the waiter said they were understaffed so bar serviced was slow. Otherwise the atmosphere was lively and festive. Food was good. As warned the service was a little.

    Thought this would be a speakeasy bar but the only thing that made it a speakeasy was getting in through the bookcase and the secret words. Which was cool! Inside decor was good and the bar service was fair as they didn’t have some of the drinks I wanted. As well as they kept forgetting what I ordered. The food was surprisingly good!

    Made a reservation for my husband’s birthday. Wrote in the message it was for a celebration birthday and how we wanted drinks. Sever was in a bad mood. He was terrible to our table and constantly walked away while we were speaking to him about the drinks. Wish we had a different experience with a different server. Would not go again.
