A new kid on the block, eh? Just had to try it out of course. Located in the heartland of Armadale, it is a given that it would be a haven for tasty tots and yummy mummies. So it was with some excitement that I met with a couple of girlfriends and bubs for lunch.

For some insane reason, like most businesses on the street, it is not the easiest to get into with prams. After a bit of huffing and puffing to get through the closed doors, we were ushered through a slightly difficult maze of counter and tables to a refreshingly open back area.

Grapeseed is very busy over lunch. We didn’t feel spectacularly special there – except to each other of course! The menu is good and I must admit the food was excellent, if a little overpriced for what you get. For us though the main issue was speed – or lack there of. The service was slow. Not great for 3 babies strapped in prams. We ended up spending most of our lunch devising ways to entertain the disgruntled littlies while we waited.

It is a nice looking place and maybe we should have ignored the grizzles and had a glass of wine… or better yet, perhaps leave the kids and just meet the girlfriends.
