winewood grill

we have been to winewood about 6 times, all for brunch. the brunch is incredible. the food is inspired and elevated, the drinks are well-made and not overpriced.

the times we've been the service has been hit or miss, most of the time it's beengoodand attentive, but there's been a couple times that waiting for service has been 3/5 stars. still better than many other places.

there is rarely any wait at brunch and we always recommend this as a meeting spot for friends and family. we will continue to make this a go to restaurant for brunch. we also really need to try it for dinner, it almost feels like we typecast it.

very disappointing experience. advertised live jazz music for easter brunch; but there was none. table needed to be cleaned when we sat down. food was delivered lukewarm on two of our four plates. except for the chicken fried ribeye steak, food was very mediocre. absolutely not a $100 meal, but that's what we paid.
we have had a verygoodmeal at winewood, but today felt like their were going through the motions. poor meal.

just because a restaurant doesn't have a kids' menu doesn't mean you can't go.  i may only be 8, but my parents know i can eat an entire grownup meal.  that is why every once in a while we get to go somewhere really nice with our parents.  this place was awesome!  we got to drink out of actual glasses and not plastic cups (even my 5 year old brother jacob!).  my salmon was verygoodand i really liked my brother's shrimp (he let me have a couple).  typically my parents would just give my little brother some of all of our food instead of ordering him a meal, but this time winewood made a special shrimp order (kid size) just for him.  we will definitely be back!

i love this place. just like the last guy, i created my urban spoon account just so i could review winewood.

unlike the last guy i have nothing butgoodthings to say about this fine little establishment.

winewood has become 'my' place since moving to grapevine 6 months ago. in that time i have come to be a regular at winewood and that is rooted *solely* in the quality of the experience.
the staff is phenomenal - and i mean like, actually phenomenal. john leads a very competent and capable wait staff and himself has become a big draw to coming back. he consistently remembers our preferences and suggests wines and specials that we actually really like. he has an attention to detail that can get lost in the service industry - so much so that i am now comfortable letting him select wines for my wife and i... he just knows what we like.
carlos the manager is also awesome. i only know carlos as the manager because he made it a point to introduce himself and continues to recognize both my wife and i by name since our first visit.

finally... the food.
tonight i had sea bass and scallops and would bet you dollars to donuts it was better than what you ate.
i know it was.
because it was f**king awesome.

tl;dr that last guy was a chump - this place is amazing.

order the mac and cheese and then run away quickly. ruined our anniversay dinner with some of the worst service and food i've ever had. my new york strip (normally a clean cut) was half fat and the rest connective tissue. the peppercorn sauce on top was tasteless (how do you do that to peppercorn?) and the mashed potatoes were sub par. all of this for only $32! she didn't like her chicken. it was chewy. our waiter took forever, chatted with other tables, drank from a wine glass he had cleared and offered me a to go box for my pile of chewed fat and tendon. there are much better restaurants in this price range. even the verygoodmac and cheese couldn't get me back in here. stay away!

great service. food wasgoodfor the most part; pork ribs were outstanding; chop had agoodflavor, but a little dry; asparagus perfectly cooked! service was outstanding!! i think his name was brett. . .atmosphere also comfortable and classy.

ms.. went to winewood for my birthday dinner. we were greeted by the owner/manager and seated promptly. brent was our server, and he was excellent.

i had oysters for an appetizer and pan- seared snapper for my entree. the food was excellent, the service was excellent, and i was presented a birthday cakelet made of decadent chocolate with drops of white "pearls" on top.

my son and my daughter-in-law also hadgoodthings to say about their food and service. i will go back.

good food,gooddrinks. i went to winewood a few nights ago and it was great! i had the cucumber kiwi cocktail. so good! the bartender gave me a sample of the dreamsicle frozen drink and it was great too. it really tasted like an alcoholic version of the ice cream bar.

definitely try the bruscetta appetizer!
