THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Grape Restaurant Review:

Combining a wine bar and, at this location, a retail shop, The Grape is set up to allow a consumer to explore a variety of wines by taking advantage of the half-glass pours to create a flight. Menu changes have transformed the place from a haven for small plates to a more conventional restaurant, substituting a few flatbreads for the crisped pitas we used to like, although we never cared for the carpaccio drowned in reduced balsamic vinegar. Some small-plate dining is still possible here, with such dishes as the tasty pulled pork and fire-roasted corn topped with pepper jack cheese on a flatbread, plenty for two as an opener. Local producers contribute to this menu, such as in the Logan Turnpike Mill grits and the Springer Mountain chicken. Also located at 4300 Paces Ferry Rd., Vinings Jubilee, 770-803-9463; and 264 19th St., Atlantic Station, 404-815-0090.
