The Grapevine Mediterranean

This restaurant is simply fantastic. Everything about it is wonderful. The menu offers a wide variety of flavorful dishes, the atmosphere is stylish and inviting, the prices are fair, and the staff is incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly. We visited early on a Friday morning at 4:30 a.m., and with only a few other patrons around, we had no trouble finding seating. It was my first experience with Mediterranean cuisine, and I was a bit lost when looking at the menu, especially with the options next to the hummus. Fortunately, our waitress was extremely helpful and provided excellent recommendations. We ended up trying a sampler of Middle Eastern dishes, a gyro, and a lamb and vegetable kebab. Every single bite was delicious and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were generous, and we ended up taking a lot home! I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone craving Mediterranean food or for those trying it for the first time!

The food here is fantastic! The stuffed grape leaves and gyros are the best I've ever had. The servers are incredibly helpful, even though the restaurant was crowded during our visit. The owners are present and work hard; they're the friendliest people!

Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine from a cherished local family. Excellent service and delicious food!

To eat one of my favorite places! Food and service are excellent!

First trip to the Grapevine at New Hartford Shopping Center. Overall, I was positively impressed with the meal served to me and my companions. Service was great. My companions made several special requests, changes to standard menu items. Our server graciously accomodated and provided the alteration to the order. The menu was surprisingly diverse for a cozy establishment. Plenty of Eastern Mediterranean choices, but also American fare to please the pallet. Our orders came promptly, beautifully prepared and presented. I liked and enjoyed the atmosphere. The dining area is not crowded with tightly packed tables and lighting was appropriate for comfortable dining. I found myself enjoying the traditional Labonese music playing in the background. So why did I withhold the 5th star? A few minor points are worth some attention, in my opinion. The salt and pepper shakers had a grimy feel, as did the menus. This seemed uncharacteristic as all else was spotless. My only other criticism is that there was a significant delivery of supplies, cases of vegetables, beverages, etc., paraded by our table while eating. Perhaps this was a case of unfortunate timing. Bottom line, I am glad to have discovered the Grapevine and I plan on a return trip!
