Grape Vine Cafe - Buffalo & Lake Mead

Food and presentation were some of the best I have ever seen. Wine by the glass was huge variety and nicely priced. Atmosphere was fantastic and service was second to none. This gem is now one of our favorites.

I’ve been here many times over the last 5 years. It’s a wonderful, locally owned, and beautiful restaurant. The wine selection is fantastic and the food is always good. I highly recommend

Always love the service here. They are also very friendly towards dogs. The dishes have always been great with authentic Italian cuisine. It’s very clean here and the bathrooms are really cool. Been here a few times and never had a bad meal.

My wife, myself and some of our friends had dinner there last night. Amazing is an understatement. I highly recommend the rib eye and the short ribs. The service was amazing.

Super friendly staff. They helped me try some great tasting wine. Food was also delicious

We had open table reservations which weren't needed on the weekday evening we arrived. The decor was very nice and we world have loved to eat outside but it was too hot. The warm goat cheese and pistachio appetizer was so refreshing with the caramelized onions. Not sure how they managed to make the toast crispy in the outside and so tender in the inside. No broken bread. I had the lemon chicken picatta served with broccoli and angel hair pasta. Delicious. My husband had the chicken marsala with carrots and potatoes. Also yummy. Our entrees came with soup or salad. The Tuscan soup was delicious and a bit spicy. I had the house salad which I couldn't finish. The owners and staff were wonderful. They stopped by our table and welcomed us. Dessert options were plentiful. The groupon came in handy. People come in just for the bar too. We'll be back.

Had a very nice dinner with my wife there, what I love about this restaurant is that you can actually have a conversation with your dinner guests along with having a live pianist playing music too!

I took my husband on a date here- a couple of weeks ago. Everything was amazing. From the customer service ,atmosphere, to the food. I wish I remembered our server's name. She was so sweet and fun to talk to. We will definitely be back. 💕

Food was delicious! We essentially had the entire outside area to ourselves and the atmosphere is quaint and cute. Awesome service — they didn’t even rush us out after they had closed.

Linda came in and introduced herself and our server for my 55th Bday dinner. So glad I came here! 4 page wine list, accommodating kitchen, great service, attentive owner….what a night!!!! Recommended wines on point!!!! Do come celebrate life here!!!! First time and many more visits to come in the future!!!!

Thank you Joe The Server And Staff For A Great Time . I And my Bestie Had A Wonderful experience ☺️

We're craving Italian pizza and found this place. They have varieties wine to choose from.

Loved it, the best Italian food I've ever had

Service was great and food was yummy. They practiced social distancing gracefully.

Dinner was spectacular! I had warm goat cheese as an appetizer, and my entree was Chicken Florentine with a creamy vodka sauce. It's definitely a place I would go to again!!

We celebrated Valentine's Day here. My Filet was juicy and tender, cooked perfectly and I loved the wedge salad. My husband said the grilled shrimp he ordered on the side was delicious. The only issue I had was that I couldn't get any steak sauce. I was told it wasn't available. Even the best cut of steak needs a little zest sometimes. The live saxophone music was a wonderful addition to the evening and ambiance. Staff was very friendly and welcoming which is something we pay close attention to as minority patrons, when spending our money.

Fabulous place, phenomenal flavors, better than Vegas Strip quality at moderately below Strip prices, but what you expect at a Strip price, but never fully get!!! Service is 5 star, flavor is five star, pricing is at 3 1/2 star equivalent, so please tip 25%, they deserve it, but please don't franchise, that ruins everything!!! #ravingfan

I had such a lovely time there. The service is great and the is food delicious. Great company and good wine. What more can you ask for? Plus, the waiters and owners are so kind. It feels like family. This is a very great place to unwind or have a romantic date night. Also, don't forget about Happy Hour! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

I wanted to have a special surprise 60th birthday for my sister, a woman who does so much for so many, On very short notice. We are regulars at Grapevine and love the food, the service and their incredible wine list. I reached out to Linda, again with very short notice, and her recommendations and party planning way exceed our expectation! My sister was very surprised and the dinner and service again were amazing! Thank you, Linda, Moeen, Rudy, Brian and all of the staff and chef for making my sister’s 60th birthday such a success and giving just another reason to come back, like we actually needed one!

Fantastic food, the best servers and terrific wine selections.

We love that restaurant, the food is delicious and their staff are amazing. For sure We're going to comeback

We have been going here for YEARS. I love the new owners (not so new anymore) and the best server we've ever had, anywhere, is Brian. The food is great, no matter what we have, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. There is no pretentiousness here. And Brian, the ONLY server we ask for is amazing: Every time! I love the little alcove room they have for special groups/parties and even if you just want to sit at the bar and have something to eat. The whole place is great. Thank you for all the wonderful years - and THAT'S why we go back!

Went there with our golf group and they made us feel welcome and important. Huge wine list at reasonable prices. Food was outstanding. Salad, pasta, risotto and tender short ribs. All of it was excellent. Will be back for more.

The food was awesome and our server Rudy was amazing. Rudy went above and beyond to make sure that we were taking care of making sure that there was no cross contamination for my mom who has celiac disease. He communicated with the chef our need and make sure Everything was safe. The food was awesome and my family said it didn’t even taste gluten-free. Thank you to Rudy, the chef, and the entire staff.

Five of us, all guys, had dinner at Grape Vine. Collectively we ordered two seafood fra diablo, one beef short ribs, one veal parmesan and one beefsteak tomato salad and soup of the day. The soup was chicken with cannellini beans; it tasted more like minestrone with a little chicken but it was ok. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered which for me was the short ribs. I hadn't had that entree at Grape Vine and was very happy with it. The short ribs were very tender, the sauce was delicious, the mushroom risotto was great and the sauted spinach was good and gave the dish an overall nice presentation. My two friends who ordered it found the seafood fra diablo to not be very spicy but flavorful. Our server was attentive but not invasively so. He made sure our drink and water glasses were not empty and brought extra bread which we appreciate as Grape Vine makes great bread. Overall a very good dinner at reasonable prices.

Brian is an excellent server and has 2 adorable cockapoos. Thank you Brian....see you next year.

I was skeptical, but the food was really good. The interior was well done and is a nice place. We will definitely come back.

I recall seeing this restaurant on Google a few times whenever I searched for "Italian restaurants near me," but never had the opportunity to experience it. However, on 7 May 2025, my family and I finally tried this restaurant for the first time and I was impressed. Considering that this business is identified as a café, I presumed that the dining area would've been slightly towards the smaller side, but whenever we walked in, I was incorrect with my judgement and was thoroughly fascinated with how spacious it was, not to mention, the décor was very nice and provided a relaxing atmosphere. We arrived pretty late in the evening (~45 minutes until closing), but I was glad that they still accommodated us with a smile. Yes, I have been to restaurants before where the host(ess) gives you a dirty look and reminds you of their closing time, also when they kick you out of their establishment 5-10 prior to closing - that wasn't the case here for either scenarios. In fact, Rudy, was the employee who greeted us, escorted us to our table, and was our server that evening. Rudy did such a remarkable job that evening; his attentiveness was impeccable and he was very efficient - my hat's off to him for displaying exceptional customer service and relations. There were so many things I wanted to try on their menu, but we ended up ordering the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Greek Meatballs, Toscana Soup (soup of the day), Seafood Fra Diavolo with White Wine Garlic Olive Oil, Chicken Piccata, and Penne ala Vodka w/Chicken. Out of these entrées, I felt the star performers were the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Chicken Piccata, and Penne ala Vodka w/Chicken. Whereas the others didn't make it to stardom, it was still adequate nonetheless. However, I will add that I've had much better Toscana Soup and Seafood Fra Diavolo before - unfortunately, I had to add some sodium chloride to my Seafood Fra Diavolo because I felt it was lacking some flavor. I also would be remiss to not mention the bread and butter that was provided to us at no cost...let's just say, I was grateful that Rudy brought out a second helping without us asking for more - it was that good. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was reasonable - I can see why locals love coming here to dine or just to socialize. Although, I didn't feel like having wine that evening, I noticed their wine selection/collection is robust and the pricing is fair (remember, businesses still have to make money on their end). Overall, I liked my first experience here, as depicted in my 4-star rating. Although, there were a couple entrées that didn't necessarily hit the mark, I am still interested in returning in the future to try some of the other menu items. I/we will definitely be back down the road and I highly recommend this business to everyone!

Located off Lake Mead and Buffalo Rd Chelsey was our server, she was friendly and attentive. What we ordered: 1.) Bowl Clam Chowder $8.00 it was hot in temperature 👍🏻 and was balanced in taste. The consistency was on the lighter side which I did not mind, but some may seek the heavier creamy base. 2.) Calamari Rhode Island style $19.00 Calamari was cooked perfectly and was tasty. 3.) Chicken Parmesan $22.00 My hubby said it was prepared well and chicken was moist and tender he said it was delicious. We will definitely be back!

My daughter and son took me out to lunch it was my first time there. One of the waiters threw out my granddaughter food that was ment to be put in an go container Luckily he realize the mistake he made and had the chef make my granddaughter a fresh order of food to go. Very please and would recommend this place to eat it's on the pricey end $$$ but well worth it.

Great combination of Mediterranean and Italian choices. Kids are raving about the chocolate cake whilst parents enjoy wine selection.

Our first time here and first thing we notice is that this is a neighborhood spot and a lot of regulars which was really cool to see! We ordered the baked Brie, yummy and the pastry pouch was unique, the penne a la vodka with shrimp, this was above average, the pasta shrimp was too seasoned for my liking and I like my pasta cooked al dente, which it wasn’t here. And lastly, the sausage, onion, jalapeño pizza, which was not bad either. A bit on the sweet side for me, but I still enjoyed it. The service was great and very friendly. I really enjoyed the vibe here!

I've been coming here for 25+ years, back when it was Grape Street Cafe. They now only serve beer and wine, no hard liquor. The quality of the food seems to be slipping. They really need to update their menu and add some new dishes. The service is always excellent! Still worth a visit.

I've had lunch here a few times. The salads are great, but the pasta is just okay. It's a nice place to have lunch with friends. The servers are very friendly and accommodating.

It was enjoyable. My wife's seafood fra diavalo was overcooked. The service was good. The taste of the food isn't standout enough for me to return but I can see why people would enjoy this restaurant.

Sunday evening, pretty big place, very few customers!!! Chicken Marsala tasted like hospital food ! Watery, no salt, no taste !!! Short rib was ok with the side of cold tasteless spinach!! All the entrees come with the choice of soup or salad! Unlike the food, dessert was good :) Kelly our server took off the chicken marsala from the check . Thanks for understanding :)

Would be higher rating as my dinner was yummy but my wife's not so much .. disappointing to pay $18 for fettuccini"alfredo" and have it basically be pasta drizzled with oil and some parmesan with nary a drop of Alfredo sauce to be found

Tiny appetizer of burrata , eggplant parm tasted old , same sauce on spaghetti & food served warm not hot

Too dark for lunch... the lighting, mood, and atmosphere at noon on a Wednesday were just depressing 😢 we opened the door, walked in and turned around less than a minute later. No one even noticed. There were a few diners, but not an employee anywhere to even try and catch our eye. I couldn't think what the scene reminded me of until the noise level question, but "somber like a funeral parlor before letting the friends and family into the viewing area," was not one of the multiple choice responses. And not to be funny, but the "How Long of a Wait for a Table," question was ironic because "No Wait," should've been the response, which in my opinion reflects the quality of the food, however, "Other," is the correct response because the entire dining room was in viewing and the only folks around were quietly seated, so no one to even ask us to stay. This is a shame because l knew before Covid the food at GV was good, but knowing what we've all learned because of Covid, that it's nearly impossible for small businesses to maintain quality ingredients and turn a profit without a constant parade of business, a quiet food business is not a good thing. Overall assessment: invest in a makeover GV, because right now you look like an Olive Garden after closing hours.

Had shrimp stuffed crab appetizer for $18. Got 5 little shrimp about an inch long with tail on. There was no stuffing because the shrimp was so small. Complained to the waiter and he said it was imitation crab. Made no difference but just had 5 small bites of shrimp. I could have have gone to Costco and bought a bag of shrimp for that price. I understand they are cutting back because of the high prices of food but this was crazy. My friend also ordered it and was not happy. I love your restaurant and have gone there since they opened. This was supposed to be my main meal. Not good
