The staff was great and the service was impeccable. Other than the food temperature being a little tepid, I enjoyed my meal.

Our server Heather was amazing!!! Food was amazing as well!

It's a very nice place. Not cheap but excellent food.

Great restaurant! Brunch and cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere is nice.

Service was fine, but the food was very underwhelming.

Beautifully renovated! Excellent food and service - an memorable dining experience. We are looking forward to our return visit.

Beautiful atmosphere. Food was good however I have tree nut allergy so alot of entrees couldn't work for me. But I'd go back!!!

We had a great time. Out server was wonderful. Two different managers came to our table to introduce themselves and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Would definitely visit again.

Went for Thanksgiving dinner, buffet style. Waitress was terrific, kept stopping back to see if we need refills or anything else. Buffet included turkey, prime rib and ham along with all the sides. Oyster on the half shell and dessert. First time here, going to be coming back. Great wine list

Thanksgiving Buffet

This restaurant handled a large event extremely well. Our only suggestions would be to set up a separate station area for appetizers such as soup & salad. Add another shellfish to seafood station as not everyone eats oysters, maybe have some start times every half hour to fill in.

This, my third visit to Smashing Grapes in a week, was my best expereince there so far. I researched local restaurants for a special dinner for two friends and myself. I chose Smashing Grapes because of its ambience, wine selection, and menu selections. Then unexpectedly, I wound up visiting with a different friend just the the week before and for an after-theater dessert with my husband.

For the dinner with my two friends, we sat in a roomy and comfortable booth. Lisa was our waiter, and she was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. It was clear she'd been trained to discuss and serve wine. We were happy to be able to order a bottle of local Maryland wine. The three of us shared several appetizers and small plates for our dinner: lamb meatballs with chickpeas, shrimp diablo, and the Mission fig flatbread. That was plenty for the three of us, and we enjoyed all of it. We did save room for dessert, though! We shared an order of the doughnuts (so glad they hadn't run out this time!), a carrot cake, and blueberry bread pudding. All were delicious. The latter two were not at all typical of what you usually get at a restaurant (unless it's a pricey, exclusive place)--unique and tasty preparations and not too heavy. The doughnuts are simply delightful!

I'm sure I'll be back many times--and hopefully at some point I can enjoy the wonderful outdoor spaces that Smashing Grapes has available. (It was too cold each time I went so far.)

Great first experience

Fabulous , great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere

The ambiance was nice, mild, quiet. The waitress Maggie was awesome. She was covering tables across the restaurant but she dismiss a beat. The two Managers were a great support to the very busy waitress. The food was delicious and the house wine was great also. I look forward to visiting and enjoying a meal there again.

Smashing Grapes is a beautiful place to meet and dine. A friend and I had dinner together and shared our food selections. We enjoyed the expereince but found a few aspects less than ideal.
The restaurant prides itself on its charcuterie boards, yet the only cheeses they include are bleu and fog varieties, which are very similar. With the tremendous selection of domestic and imported cheeses available, why such a lack of variety? I could run across the street to Trader Joe's and find better selections! That was a real disappointment.
Next we split a portion of the lobster risotto--and glad we did, because it was too salty and a full portion would have been overwhelming. There didn't seem to be an ingredient listed that would have imparted such saltiness, so we attributed it to a chef's heavy hand on the salt cellar.
On the other hand, the wines were very nice. I very much appreciated seeing some Finger Lakes (NY) selections on the menu. The sparkling water they serve is Saratoga brand, another personal favorite from Upstate NY. We also enjoyed our plate of mini-doughnuts, and I would certainly order those again!
We had hot drinks with dessert, and the little milk pitcher came to the table with chocolate sauce smeared inside. Of course we asked for that to be replaced.
I will go back, and I expect to enjoy being there again, but I hope they take a few thoughtful steps to improve from good to great.

Staff was friendly. Food was delicious! Chairs were comfortable!! Booth’s seating was too low so one couldn’t comfortably eat. So we sat at a table. Lovely experience!!

Great food and atmosphere.

Dinner was wonderful and also a great wine list
Would definitely come back the only thing was that Wi-Fi service was not strong so for a business meeting would not be great…but overall great experience

Food was very good. The brunch was not crowded at all on a Saturday morning. Recommendation to owners: lower the price on the brunch or make some combos that will get people into the restaurant earlier. Also, one of the workers cursing and tell stories likely will stop us from returning. Overall, good place to eat if you are near the mall, otherwise go to a real breakfast brunch spot.

Excellent atmosphere and super service.

1pm reservation for our work team. Everything was perfect and delicious. Our server was fantastic.

Service was good. But the food left a lot to be desired.

Food was excellent- the service left a lot to be desired. I imagine if we had a different server, we would have had a better experience.

Great food, great wine and great service!! Will return and recommend.

We love coming to Smashing Grape. We like the ability to make a reservation and the service is always good. There are interesting boutique cocktails. We tried the japanese old fashioned and the lavender gin drink w both getting a thumbs up. The new octopus appetizer was amazing as was the cream of mushroom soup. Two of us had the sea bass which melted in your mouth. The only entree that was a disappointment was the avocado fettucine which was kind of bland. Other than that we all had a good time and will be back soon.

Just lunch with friends. All just right.

If you are looking for SPECTACULAR SERVICE, Delicious Cocktails, Great food, Awesome Ambiance, and an all-around Excellent Experience, Smashing Grapes is the place. Nothing will ever be perfect, but it's so nice when something comes this close.

food was great, not superb
salmon portion was small but nice flavor
rockfish was tasty. I ordered it without olives but it came with olives.
The server wasnt too good at putting the entres on the table quietly

I will go back because I like the ambiance and very good wine selection

Nice restaraunt with excellent food, good ambience and reasonable service. I enjoyed it.

Didn’t like the French Toasts nor the maple sausage. Maybe the other brunch items are better.

The experience was great my only issue is the pork alternative for breakfast if turkey sausage or chicken sausage available for those who don’t eat pork other than that I’ll be back I love your restaurant

The beverages, food and service were excellent. We enjoyed Brunch and plan to return.

Hailey was amazing and so knowledgable and friendly! Our first time dining here and we will be back!

Celebrated our 3 year anniversary. Food and service were awesome!

The food was very good! However our server knew very little and kept disappearing

Service very slow. Waitress nice but clueless. Never got our coffee. Nice atmosphere. Food good but nothing special

Service was really slow and unfortunately this is the second visit where that has occurred. Food and ambience were good just too long to wait for food.

The food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch outside this visit! The food was great and so was the service. We’ve had the lovely Madison serve us before, and she is excellent. We would have stayed longer, but a rainstorm blew over and ran us out!

Loved the jazz night and food . Our server was so extremely nice ! He even offered to find a chair for my friend and I to sit our purses on.
