The Mountain Grape Tavern

We are locals and have been wanting to try this new restaurant since it switched ownership and has a new menu. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by the owner with a warm welcome and thanked for coming in. It was a beautiful warm evening and we were seated outside on the back deck, great atmosphere outside and inside! Our waiter came immediately with water for the table and left a carafe of water. He was super friendly and fun from the start. We came with 2 other couples and we ordered 3 appetizers to share. The Charcuterie board, the Italian deep fried rice balls (can’t remember what the name of these were) and the crab dip. Apps were all delicious and nice portions. The crab dip had a great taste/flavor but the consensus at the table was that it could have had more crab in

Came here for the quality local draft beers and food menu. Pleasantly surprised by the homemade limocello and fruit cellos crafted into excellent cocktails. I had the grapefruit cello with an addition of processo that they have on draft. Wonderful, tasty and refreshing. I didn't try their limocello which most of the clients buy but maybe next time when I come back. Their charcuterie board was creative and delicious. Homemade pickled vegetables were an unexpected bonus addition to fine board of cheeses and meats and a warm dipping spread. On top of all the wonderful drinks and food the staff were outstanding. Martin the bartender was a highlight of the evening but every staff member made you feel like you were a honored guest.

Everything from to finish was lovely. We did a birthday dinner for my fiancee, had the duck wings, salmon, salad and pork chop. Derek, our server, was courteous and helpful, and the same goes to the management. We loved our desert which was a splendid custard and berries. It was delightful and we will be back!

Had an excellent meal here yesterday. The draft beer selection was impressive with plenty of great options to choose from. I ordered a steak, and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, I’ll definitely be back.

Honestly, one of the best kept secrets of our area. This place is a whole vibe. The atmosphere is amazing, no matter which season. There is outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather, or fall leaves, or indoor seating in the winter next to a cozy fireplace, in a modern woodsy atmosphere. Also the food is absolutely incredible. Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the tri-state area. I highly recommend.
