Grind and Grape

This charming little bar lounge offers a delightful ambiance, both indoors and outdoors, where guests can relish the fresh air and captivating live music. The cozy and intimate atmosphere creates a welcoming environment that patrons genuinely adore. Although I only indulged in an espresso during my visit, the other menu items appeared equally enticing, and I eagerly anticipate returning to explore their culinary offerings further.

I am leaving my original review here below but elaborating after sleeping on the situation. This place is crowded, so I realize my review doesn't mean much to them, but there's always that hope that it will. My family and I arrived here early in the evening before the crowd. We ate, drank, laughed, and listened to music. There for hours, we obviously spent a good deal of money (irrelevant here but it is what keeps businesses alive.) The food was decent and, fortunately, cheaper than the overpriced drinks (over 12 dollars for one small vodka and club soda). We were having a great time with family which is what mattered most. The band was the best part of the establishment! (Great job guys!) My son called to tell me good night. I couldn't hear him so rushed out to speak with him. We talked for about 2 minutes. As I attempted to make my way back in, a security guard told me I couldn't go in and, I think, pointed to the back of a very long line. I explained that my car keys, family, everything was inside and that I just walked out of there to which he replied, "I know; I saw you walk out, but this is the policy." He "saw" me walk out but couldn't have said, "Hey, if you leave you can't come back.""??? If this was posted somewhere, it wasn't when we arrived and couldn't be seen in the midst of the sardine can crowd. I couldn't get a hold of my family inside as it was too loud for them to hear their phones. I was stuck outside, alone, with no jacket, no keys, worried that they would now come looking for me, and my keys would still remain hostage inside. I'm not sure if it's because I'm no longer young and cute and showing my belly (and that seems to be the preferred crowd after 9 p.m.), if this security guy was just a jerk, or if he was genuinely enforcing a "policy" that someone above him had set. I gave HIM the benefit of the doubt and was kind and just walked away. I GET not allowing people to enter and then hang out outside not knowing how much space is being occupied, but most things have a gray area and this was a gray area that they should have made an appropriate decision for. This policy needs to be posted EVERYWHERE and AT ALL TIMES. It was wrong and possibly even unsafe that they stranded me alone late at night AND made my entire (7 of us) family eventually have to leave so they could rescue me. When you have to have more security than you do servers and bartenders (they were few and far between and hard to catch up with), you might start reevaluating some business choices. Offer more attention INSIDE than outside. What if my tab had still been opened? I wish it had been. Original Review: I am currently standing outside of this place with my keys inside and they will not let me back in because I left to take a phone call from my son. If this "policy" was posted somewhere, it needs to be in larger print. I spent a lot of money here but never would again. I am stranded outside alone because of a "policy". Security acknowledged that they saw me walk out, yet they couldn't offer me the courtesy of letting me know of this unknown policy.
