The tiny wine bistro on Lower Greenville relishes its reputation as one of the city's most romantic eateries. It's a favored spot for proposals and anniversaries; if diners at nearby tables (and as snug as this dining room is, we do mean "nearby") aren't gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, they're probably casting a blissful glance downward into a bowl of the restaurant's sublime signature mushroom soup.

Recognized as one of the most celebrated neighborhood eateries in Dallas for over 35 years, dining at The Grape is like stepping into a small European village. The monthly changing blackboard menu offerings, which have proven to be one of the elements of success, feature signature bistro fare as well as eclectic and contemporary creations.
