Orleans Grapevine Wine Bar and Bistro

Considering the relatively small incremental cost, over the average New Orleans French quarter fare, a significant step up in creativity and quality. Pictured are some small fare / starter plates including mushroom de vin (Portobello cap in red wine sauce with garnish) Tuna tartare (Chopped tuna with chopped tomatoes) and key lime pie (perfectly executed)

We went from the decadence parade to this lovely establishment. They were very accommodating, and the inside dining area had the best lighting. It was perfectly ambient, with hushed conversations, mood piano, and a lovely buzz of the crowd. Everyone was smiling, and it was the perfect establishment to relax in. They do offer an outdoor seating on a private courtyard, but it was a bit bright out there so we enjoyed the bar instead. There were no issues with us relocating, and they were extremely pleasant staff.

Absolutely phenomenal food, amazing service, and great atmosphere on their outdoor patio. We ordered the baked brie, soup of the day, boudin sausage link, goat cheese salad with chicken, and key lime pie. Everything we ordered was exceptional. We also got the happy hour bacon, of course. For drinks we ordered the sazarac and a dark & stormy, and both were very good. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We tried a different place and they did not acknowledge us so we left and walked here. So glad we did. What a hidden gem. Love the secret courtyard. We had the fish and the pork chop. Both were very good. The pork chop was huge ! Definitely recommend this place. They have a great wine list too. The bread is served warm so that was a plus. James took good care of us.

Such an amazing little place. This was our third visit and each time is like a light breeze of nostalgia. For the uninitiated, Orleans Grapevine is first and foremost a wine bar, that offers quite a nice wine list and is frequented primarily by locals as far as we can tell. The bar seems to fill up first, and there are about 10 tables to fill the rest of this wonderfully cozy spot. The menu can be quite dynamic -- so you'll likely get a new experience each time you stop in -- and is always excellent. We arrived early (in time for "Bacon Happy Hour" -- see pics) and sat at a table in the bar near the player piano. Wine flights and warm brie with honey is how every meal should start. After, french onion soup and blackened redfish almondine were delicious for the main course. Finishe
