I am leaving my original review here below but elaborating after sleeping on the situation. This place is crowded, so I realize my review doesn't mean much to them, but there's always that hope that it will.My family and I arrived here early in the evening before the crowd. We ate, drank, laughed, and listened to music. There for hours, we obviously spent a good deal of money (irrelevant here but it is what keeps businesses alive.)The food was decent and, fortunately, cheaper than the overpriced drinks (over 12 dollars for one small vodka and club soda). We were having a great time with family which is what mattered most. The band was the best part of the establishment! (Great job guys!)My son called to tell me good night. I couldn't hear him so rushed out to speak with him. We talked for about 2 minutes.As I attempted to make my way back in, a security guard told me I couldn't go in and, I think, pointed to the back of a very long line. I explained that my car keys, family, everything was inside and that I just walked out of there to which he replied, "I know; I saw you walk out, but this is the policy."He "saw" me walk out but couldn't have said, "Hey, if you leave you can't come back.""??? If this was posted somewhere, it wasn't when we arrived and couldn't be seen in the midst of the sardine can crowd.I couldn't get a hold of my family inside as it was too loud for them to hear their phones. I was stuck outside, alone, with no jacket, no keys, worried that they would now come looking for me, and my keys would still remain hostage inside.I'm not sure if it's because I'm no longer young and cute and showing my belly (and that seems to be the preferred crowd after 9 p.m.), if this security guy was just a jerk, or if he was genuinely enforcing a "policy" that someone above him had set. I gave HIM the benefit of the doubt and was kind and just walked away. I GET not allowing people to enter and then hang out outside not knowing how much space is being occupied, but most things have a gray area and this was a gray area that they should have made an appropriate decision for.This policy needs to be posted EVERYWHERE and AT ALL TIMES. It was wrong and possibly even unsafe that they stranded me alone late at night AND made my entire (7 of us) family eventually have to leave so they could rescue me.When you have to have more security than you do servers and bartenders (they were few and far between and hard to catch up with), you might start reevaluating some business choices. Offer more attention INSIDE than outside.What if my tab had still been opened? I wish it had been.Original Review:I am currently standing outside of this place with my keys inside and they will not let me back in because I left to take a phone call from my son. If this "policy" was posted somewhere, it needs to be in larger print. I spent a lot of money here but never would again. I am stranded outside alone because of a "policy". Security acknowledged that they saw me walk out, yet they couldn't offer me the courtesy of letting me know of this unknown policy.

LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE ! Super fun at night although the drinks are very expensive.. $12 for a small bloody mary in a cup with no fixings at all.. Not even a pickle.?!! We tried lunch there today it was NOT GOOD.. 16 $ for Two pieces of bread & literally two THIN slices of CHEAP lunch meat & cheese with bit of jelly - Was the worst monte cristo I have ever had .. tasted a bit off ( Hopefully I don't get sick from it) I ate it because we were on a time crunch and I was hungry. I should have returned it.. Seriously not worth your stop move along to the next shop... We heard it was way better.. After we had already stopped here.. Extremely disappointed. I told my guests. This would be a fun place to go because i've been here at night... Now they don't ever want to go back even at night... I would give it a one star but the waitstaff was nice... We'll never be back.. Plenty of other better places to go spend my money ( We have been here over a month. This was our first complaint... That says a lot !

Really bummed about the experience here. Waited over an hour for cold wings and pizza. There was no acknowledgment or apology about the long wait. It was especially frustrating because I had already paid and tipped 20% for the food. I'd recommend bringing your hard earned dollars else where. This place is trash.

Cute coffee shop that seems like it's much more lively at night. Disco balls cover the ceiling, and there are signs that tables are removed at night for dancing. I would want to check this out at night. However, for my visit, the chai latte was yummy, but it doesn't quite have coffee shop for reading and working vibes, if that's what you're interested in finding.

Great coffee, flatbreads, and atmosphere!

Used to be a great music venue launching bands like East Harbor. Tonight was a vanity band from a local country club. Lots of blue blazers and Lillian Pulitzer fashion. What happened to my hip Grind & Grape??AWFUL EXPERIENCE
We went over to Grind + Grape to celebrate New Year's Eve! We make this a tradition every year! The Atmosphere is amazing, we loved seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones! Can't wait for next year!

I wish there was more than one marked vegan item on the menu. I am not a big fan of the vegetarian/vegan platter. Vegetarian is not the same as vegan. The honey sriracha lime vegan meatball skewer is not vegan. Honey is not vegan. So it being labeled as the vegan platter is incorrect. I would like if this restaurant correctly labeled vegan options, and offered more than one. As far as I was told the "hummus + crudité" item on the menu is vegan. That is the only item I'm aware of that is actually vegan on the menu, and it isn't even labeled as such. Correctly labeling/marking vegan options makes it easier for both the customer and staff. The hummus + crudité is okay but in my opinion it could use some more veggies, maybe red or yellow bell pepper. I would love to see more than one marked vegan option at this restaurant. At the very least I feel like the labeling should be corrected.

DO NOT COME HERE!!So now this isn’t a coincidence, last year I got wicked sick after having one cocktail at the bar here and I just thought it was maybe from traveling. This year, me and my family and friends stopped for a drink after dinner. Within 20 minutes I became violently ill and blacked out and couldn’t remember leaving the place. My friend who also had the same drink ended up the same way. We both can handle our liquor without any issues so this makes it even more suspicious. This place has a very weird trafficking vibe after 9pm. BEWARE!

THIEVES!! They took my credit card to open a tab and then when I paid cash double charged me on my card. It has happened twice to me now, once last summer too. DO NOT GO HERE they will steal your money.
