    Heerlijk eten. Bij 2e gedeelde hapje denk je 3 gaat niet genoeg zijn maar het vleesgerecht maakte het helemaal af en ons voldaan. Toch nog ruimte voor yummie toetje met oa kersenijs. Volgende keer nduja arancini nu overgeslagen maar zag er ook heerlijk uit. Plus cocktails zijn ook top.

    My second visit and didn’t disappoint. Service is outstanding, food and drinks incredible. Only niggle is that both visits a large group at back have made it uncomfortably noisy..

    The food was good and the selection of wines was really interesting. However, the restaurant area is far too loud. It seems to have been designed like an echo chamber. With the music and people trying to shout over one another, we could barely hear ourselves think, let alone have a conversation.

    The food at The Black Grape was delicious - the in house brioche bread was sublime and to think we nearly didn’t order it!! The service was top notch. Decor was minimalist with taste. The Black Grape is definitely worth a visit. We will be back!
