Smashing Grapes - Gambrills

"Courtney J is the BEST! She is very personable and enthusiastic. I loved every minute of dinner, plus we are 3 days apart! I will definitely be back"

"As a first time customer I was absolutely amazed by everything! I am a very picky person and my partner just wanted to try this place. When we first walked in the hostess Gabrielle was prompt and friendly. She was also giving us information about Maryland’s Restaurant Week and about the special menu for restaurant week. She even checked on us throughout our visit. NOW let talk about our waiter Dimitri. He was beyond amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the different pairings of wines and the menu items. I love how he didn’t just go by the script but made suggestions basted upon his favorites. His personality definitely makes us want to return and also become regulars. The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!. Every bite was like a party of flavored events. If you are the type of person that dances when eating good food then this is the place for your best booth dance moves. The hospitality went beyond just the hostess and waiter we also had 3 managers stop by the table inquiring about how our experience was going and how we were enjoying the food/wine. Overall we enjoyed everything from being to end. We are definitely looking forward to trying more of their foods and wines."

"Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed this dining experience. The service, atmosphere and food was amazing. All of the staff was friendly and attentive, even the Owners and Managers. I really enjoyed the signature cocktails and switch up in the menu. The crab soup was so delicious, the right amount of spice and creaminess. I love the wings, they are a great choice for an appetizer. I hope this location keeps up this magnetic energy."

"I attended a 16th birthday dinner there. They made personalized menus for the kids that were cute. The set menu for the adults had the meal price displayed. I found that tacky as the host was paying for everyone's meal. The server was friendly but over the top. His banter was rude at times. He was attentive, though. My steak and fries came out cold, and he replaced it right away. The food was ok but not stellar. Atmosphere wise, it has a lot of open tables with booths on the perimeter and is well lit. It's more for family dining and not cozy first date kinda spot. They had live music, which was a plus. I think I need to visit again and give it another chance."

"Dimitri was my waiter. He was so upbeat and pleasant. He helped me choose the perfect wine to compliment my meal (which he also suggested). He was so attentive and served with an amazing smile. The food was served hot, prompt and absolutely delicious. I chose to sit at the bar and was pleased with how clean it was. The surroundings and the barstool was comfortable. I will definitely return after this great experience."
