    I like the place but they rush you. I hadn’t finished with my appetizer and they were coming to pick up my plate. This happened twice. I had to say hey I’m not finished. Also, corkage fee of $20 for a wine they sell you? Ridiculous. I could see it if it was a wine I brought myself so probably won’t go back.

    Food was great! Service still needs more work. We ordered a bottle of Wine and food. We got our good and had to ask for Wine glasses a few times before getting them. Also, once dessert got to the table, we had to ask for spoons. Food was great and the food recommendations from our waitress was really good.

    Had a reservation at 830 for 3 people and waited 30 minutes. However that time allowed us to take a nice look at the wine selection with help from the restaurant owner. Very friendly and helpful. Nice selection of moderately priced wines. Markups are very reasonable. Mostly Spanish (which makes sense, tapas), some Italian and good amount of French and USA (California) wines as well. Vibe was buzzing. Live music on a Wednesday night; place was packed. Service was friendly and food was good and well priced. I’d definitely go back. Happy to see a solid spot in South Miami. It was due. Corkage is $20.

    A beautiful evening celebrating with friends… great food, great wine, great times! Jason and Ingrid have established a wonderful space where gathering feels like a family celebration. Our favorite was the wine recommendation-excellent choice! The tapas-style food was a hit on every level. Everything is a “must try”. Daniella and team offered beyond amazing service! We looooved every minute of our dining experience here.

    The Grape Ape was amazing!! The owner came and helped us pick a bottle of wine off the wall and recommended great entree pairings with the bottle. The whole experience was a 10/10 🌟
