It is suitable if you prefer to stay in for a meal, but it is recommended to explore nearby dining options for a better experience.

Absolutely the best place in town for brunch. Great selection, fresh fruit, salads, made to order omelettes, prime rib.

We hadn't even finished our drinks. I am very disappointed with the staff here and will not be returning. Goodbye!

Brunch was $45pp which I thought was pricey but the restaurant’s ambiance was nice and I remembered the food being amazing. Not so this time. There were 10 of us and when we arrived I was disappointed to be seated, not in the restaurant, but in one of the hotel conference rooms. It felt like a rotary club meeting. The massive tables had centrepieces from the dollar store. That aside, I was hopeful for the food. We had 1pm reservations and the food was TERRIBLE. The Eggs Benedict were hard as rocks and the hollandaise dried up. They had been sitting so long that the English muffins were literally crusted to the chafing dish. I asked for fresh ones and was brought another full chafing dish of eggs in the same condition. They had to have been under the warming lamp for hours. The Mac and cheese and rotini fell to the same fate of being way overdone. Both pasta dishes were mush yet another victim of hours under heat lamps. The bacon was hard and dried out. The desserts, from a box. The only saving grace was our server David who was a doll. We never said anything while we were there as my family and I were all together to enjoy ourselves. I tried to email them first but their website is ‘under construction’ and I never leave bad reviews but our bill was over $600 with tip and I was embarrassed for suggesting this place to my family. None of us will be coming back to The Grape and Olive again. I’d leave no stars if I could.

The French onion soup had no onions in it and just tasted like beef broth. I had the butter chicken and my husband had the chicken parmesan. The butter chicken sauce was clearly from a bottle, the chicken very dry and they must have put an entire cup of peas in with my rice, there was far more peas than actual rice, my naan was grilled on a very dirty grill because I could taste dirty smoke on it like there was an oil fire. The chicken from my husbands dish was cooked before hand and just heated up because the chicken was dryer than a boot. It’s clear that this restaurant cuts corners and it shows in the quality of their food. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

We picked this restaurant off of trip advisor because we are not from Orillia (Bracebridge) .. this did not disappoint.. we were allowed valentines menu on the 11th and it was fabulous.. our waitress Lindy was so attentive and interactive and all around doll . Food was hot and delicious, service was amazing and I’m going home with homemade truffles.. Fabulous experience. Thank you “Grape Olive “ Marianne Jim

The chef is relatively new, and I believe they deserve recognition. I ordered a small Caesar salad which was fresh, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The chicken cordon bleu was absolutely wonderful. The grilled vegetables were hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken was nicely browned on the outside and juicy on the inside. Terri, our server, was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

The staff didn't inquire about any allergies, and I started feeling bloated after just a few bites. I believe they cooked my gluten-free pasta in the same water as the regular pasta, instead of using fresh water.
