Reviews for Smashing Grapes in Annapolis, MD
We usually have our girls night at this place and we’ve always have a good experience. We really enjoy the live music, the... food and the service. I’ve had the lamb, calamari, salmon and ceviche…. All are yum! The drunks are also soooooooo good! Read more
Pros: -Brunch buffet on Sunday -Outdoor seating options -Options not seen at most buffets like paninis and crepes -Nice variety... of food -Beautiful champagne/mimosa at your table kit option (pictured) Cons: -No option to order off of menu if you're thereduring Sunday brunch -Overcooked omelette (pictured) -Oysters seemed like they had been sitting out for a while -A little priceyat $55/person -Staff at omelette station could've been friendlier Bottom line: Give it a try. It's pretty good, not excellent.At this price point, I'd expect a superb experience. I'd like to come back for dinner. Read more
Had dinner here as part of a large birthday party and was pleased with the food and service. The bread service before the meal... was excellent...warm, soft bread with a crispy crust and a seasoned butter. The fries were excellent, so I recommend any of thesteaks or burgers that they come with. I didn't have room for dessert, but what others in the party ordered looked delicious.The only miss is they had no iced tea the evening of my visit, and I found it odd to run out of such a basic staple. Overall itwas a good experience and I would recommend for foodies that love unique food and wine. Read more
I've held dozens of private business events during the weekdays in 2021. The GM, the Events Manager, Managers, Bar Tenders and... Wait Staff have gone above and beyond to accommodate my business group; Networking in Annapolis. By now I've tried half themenu. Nothing has disappointed, so many good options. I've also watched what my guests have ordered. They have always been happywith the portions and price, but more importantly, the quality of the dishes. When I have an event at Smashing Grapes orBlackwall Hitch, I know my guests will be delighted and feel elevated.

Wonderful experience from being greeted to the food. They were out if strawberry puree for one of their cocktails so the... waitress offered to substitute with mango or blackberry puree. I chose blackberry and honestly I think it was one of the bestdrinks I've had. I had the avocado tagliatelle pasta and it was wonderful. My husband had braised short ribs and also enjoyedit. Shout out to whoever makes the drinks because I had a cappuccino after dinner and I'm super picky with my coffee. It wasamazing! Read more
Had a great dinner at Smashing Grapes. It's a laid back place to enjoy good wine. The Braised short ribs are a must try! Very... tender and a ton of flavor. I'll definitely be back to try out their tasting menu Read more
We have been waiting to try this restaurant as it always seems so busy. Finally went for lunch today and the customer service... was fantastic. We were greeted upon arrival and our server was very friendly. The atmosphere and decor is modern and great aswell. This is a great place to socialize. However the food was very dry, flavorless, and took forever. Chicken club was so dryI could not even get swallow without washing down with water. The lobster roll was overcooked and chewy and the lobster had noflavor or sauce just came with butter. Usually this kind of roll melts in your mouth. I tried the homemade sangria and was alsonot a fan. It said came with fresh fruits and the only fruit in my glass was a slice of lemon. Again no flavor just tasted likered wine. We ordered wings for an appetizer and they were very good but by the time they came we were so hungry had to scarfthem down. My daughter loved her kids meal ( it would be impossible to mess up noodles with butter though). We would havecomplained but did not want to wait another hour for another sandwich. We will not be back. $100 for lunch is ridiculousespecially when we left hungry and disappointed. Read more
