  Food was delicious and good value. Great selection of wine and some beers. The portions are big you don’t need to order loads. Would recommend a visit here.

  So my wife, my MIL, And MIL Friend all went to the Grapevine for dinner. And all I have to say is You've Gotta Eat Here.

So to drink... read more everyone had the Sangria except for me, they all loved the Sangria said it was very good, but very sweet. I had the Kopperberg Cider they added raspberries and lime to it it was delicious.

We just ordered multiple Tapas to have for dinner and split them between the 4 of us we had the Chicken Skewers, Steak Skewers, Meatballs, Shrimp, button Mushrooms, Calamari, Rocket and Pear Salad, Chorizo and Green Chili Potatoes, and the four cheese quesidella. Then for Desert we had Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Cheesecake.

All the Tapas were fantastic, so full of flavor, the sauce was delicious on everything, the food was prepared quickly and everything was so tasty. Then the Desert the Sticky Toffee Pudding was really tasty not sweet or anything, soft and moist. The cheesecake had lots of flavor and was delicious.

There were 3 Staff on the floor, but they split the load and kept up, we were getting checked on regularly to ensure that we still had stuff to drink and we still had enough food.

Would highly recommend, also would recommend that you book ahead as we watched as people were turned away.

  My husband and I dined here recently it's one of our favourite spots in Kilkenny. The food is delicious and the customer service is always incredible. There is a lovely... read more ambience in the restaurant. As always we left happy, content and full!

  Food was really really tasty and not too expensive. Our waitress was really nice and friendly. Don’t know her name, she had blonde hair and glasses. I’d definitely come back... read more here again next time we are in Kilkenny

  Love this restaurant, very comfortable, staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. Always leave here full and happy.

  Great selection of tapas here. Food was delicious and piping hot. Wine menu had been carefully selected. Lovely ambience about the place. We really enjoyed our visit here.

  The four of us had an excellent experience tonight. The waiter was cool, calm, collected and polite as well as knowledgeable. We ordered 10 tapas dishes between the four of... read more us and each dish was just so tasty. Once the food was ordered it arrived quickly afterwards. Nice ambience in the place. Highly recommend

  Great place to dine in. Very cousy, with good food. I think surf’n’turf was amazing. Highly recommended.

  Excellent food and excellent service . Great decor which reflected the Spanish tapas theme and the origin of tapas . Very satisfied with the experience !

  House red is very good. Good selection of tapas- not expected in Ireland. Good service as well. Recommend when in Kilkenny

  After traveling around Ireland for a while you do get a little tired of the standard pub fare so this was “good different”!

Pretty much what you would expect... read more of Spanish / Mediterranean style Cuisine and good quality. There are quite a few options on the menu including a good selection of wines. Service was also friendly and attentive.

  Myself and my 3 sisters had booked into the grapevine for dinner.
We looked online and the early bird was advertised to finish at 7pm, so we booked for 6.45pm.
... read more /> The man behind the counter very rudely told us that the early bird finished at 6.30pm. We explained the website stated 7. He had been on his phone and start shaking it at us and pointing at it.
We left the restaurant and explained why to the waitress.
Later we checked the website and it still said 7pm.
The man was just so rude, would never return or recommend.

  Huge selection of tapas, all of our choices we delicious and well presented. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

  I visited here with two friends. The tapas was quite nice overall, the chicken wings were the favourite amongst the group and the selection of bruchetta was lovely.

  This is a lovely little tapas bar, with all the usual suspects and a few inventive items on the menu. We were accommodated without a booking, at the bar, but... read more I’d recommend calling ahead as it’s a popular spot. Highlights were the meatballs, and the sharing platter looked delicious. I’m hoping to get back again to try that.

We visited earlier this weekend and had a great evening, we were truly stuffed leaving... Amazing food,... read more staff, everything!

  We dined in this establishment tonight after hearing the food was good, but we weren’t impressed by the service. Upon receiving our menus, we were told twice that our table... read more was needed back by 10pm despite the govt rule being 105 mind per sitting. We felt from the get go that the staff were rushing us to order, for example while choosing our wine the waitress stood over our table and gave us little or no time to decide, we felt we were under pressure to choose a wine as a result of this. We ordered a very substantial meal of 7 different tapas plates, we received the plates approx 10-12 mins after ordering which was great, however the staff preceded to come over to our table and asked if we were okay and if we needed anything, but it wasn’t just one person it was 3 different staff members every 4-5 mins, we could not enjoy our meal, we felt pressurised to finish very quickly, we also felt that they were monitoring the pace that were were eating our dishes. I appreciate attentive staff however when you tell a staff member the food is good, I don’t need anything else to later be interrupted again by another staff member gets a bit tiresome, it was if the staff did not communicate with one another or else there was another staff member telling the staff to try and take our plates. I could see another couple beside us also getting irritated by the staff. We were never going to outstay the 105 minute period, but for the 105 minutes we were there we could not relax and did not enjoy our food. I will not be returning. The food was great but it’s not worth the experience. It felt like a conveyor belt, the minute you sat down they wanted to get you out. I appreciate a staff member asking you if you are okay and whether you need anything once or twice but to persistently keep coming over and trying to clear our table is not okay. We dined in a nearby Italian the previous night and the service was outstanding and all within 105 minutes!

  Booked this restaurant based on the good reviews. It did not disappoint, the staff were all lonely. Food was tasty and good quality. Also great value for money.

  Fantastic food. Expected average food considering small plates, however all plates were phenomenal. Highly recommend the steak skewers.

I would highly recommend this little gem.

  We had a family dinner here on Saturday,.Always loved the grapevine when visiting Kilkenny but tbh we were a bit disappointed this time.we had looked it up on the Web... read more and early bird was advertised till 6.30pm everyday apart from bank holidays,so we booked a 6pm table as we were with kids. Arrived a few mins early,menus were given out,no early bird !!!so I asked for it and was told early bird finishes at 6pm???I said on their Web page it's says 6.30pm and the answer was "oh yeah sorry we need to change that.I have to say I thought that was very poor customer service .Just to make other customers aware of this

  My friend and I left the grapevine content, full, and in great spirits! We ordered approx 7 things from the menu to share and every dish was tasty. I think... read more that this place will suit picky eaters (potatas bravad or 4 cheese quesadilla for you...maybe) as well as those that are more adventurous (try the black pudding with pear!) which is ideal for groups with different tastes in food. Wine was by the glass or the bottle, and the desert menu was traditional and beautiful. Warm atmosphone with music, and the most friendly and attentive staff! I'll be back 🙂 More

  We go here regularly, food always yummy, atmosphere alway vibrant, colourful and chilled! Super staff

  Absolutely recommend the Garapevine to anyone who wants quantity and quality for amazingly reasonable price! The food was absolutely amazing and delivered really quick. It was also my partners birthday... read more and they brought out our deserts with a candle on his cake!! DEADLY.... The highlight of the night was exceptional customer service, my partner is 6'7" and we ordered a table for 2 which had a stool and a wall seat. He knew by looking at the stool he would not be able to sit on that stool to enjoy his food as he wouldn't have room to place his legs. The staff new straight away without us even saying anything (i was too busy laughing anyway) the staff accommodated us immediately with suitable table and made sure he was comfortable and other customers too. Absolutely amazing!

  We were looking forward to eating here as we both love tapas. There is an early bird menu which represents very good value for money and we ordered this. However... read more the food came very quickly, almost too quickly! The tapas were lukewarm and we were particularly disappointed with the chorizo which was overcooked. The waiter who was also front of house was quite rude, not a bit friendly. We were almost putting him out when we asked him something. We will not be returning.

  My wife and I dined here recently and can say without a shadow of doubt it was one of the best dining experiences we've had. The ambience, service, quality, quantity... read more and cost of food was exceptional. Too many choices !!! I can recommend the Surf & Turf & the Lamb Cutlets but you won't be disappointed no matter what you choose. Will definitely dine here again when back in Kilkenny.

  We visited the Grapevine on our minimoon.
The service and food was amazing. Even dessert was fabulous.
The menu has great choice and prices are so reasonable.
We cannot... read more wait to come back to Kilkenny to try more options from the menu.

  We met two friends here for tapas and I have to say having a Spanish sister in law... omg! Amazing quality, quantity and prices! Unbelievable value for money. The lamb... read more was succulent, risotto was best I’ve ever tasted and surf and turf unreal! Night recommend and would travel 130miles to experience it again!

  All I can say is beautiful food and exceptional service, been here twice now once as a group for our staff party and once as a couple for valentines both... read more experiences were truly enjoyable. Both times Andrei looked after us and did an amazing job.

  Fab from start to finish staff, food, everything was 10/10! Will definitely be back at our earliest convenience ❤️
