"Grapevine Café Gourmet Food Tucked Inside a Gourmet Market. On a last Saturday afternoon, my group of eight women dined at Grapevine Cafe. Most of us have served here several times before this visit and always enjoyed the food and service. This experience was no exception. Grapevine Café is located in Green Turtle, a beautiful gourmet market on E. Eau Gallie Blvd. in Indian Harbour Beach, FL. The market is currently in renovations to increase retail for products, wine and indoor deli sessions, making it look less beautiful than it usually. Although we tried from the internally offered samples, we went directly to the café so that we would not spoil our appetites. It was smart that we had made a reservation on the day before because the café was packed. We arrived at 12:30 and the hostess sat right away. Our tables were at the back of the cozy café right next to the door to the kitchen, but it was not really much novice than elsewhere. Since the café was full, it was loud, but it didn't matter how we probably contributed to much of the noise itself. Our server, Jack, brought us menus to distribute our beverage orders. When I looked around the café, I noticed how beautiful the decor was. Creative little touches on the walls contributed to the charming atmosphere. Once inside, forget that just outside the doors is a busy market. Since I've been here several times before, I didn't want to order something on the regular menu. Two of us ordered the dish of Jour a special (bridged) Turkey Club Buttered and roasted on thin bread with Applewood smoked Bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese and onion, $10.99. I changed my page to Cranberry Wild Rice. Most sandwiches come with Potato Salad and a cut pimple. Try as we did, both were unable to finish our delicious sandwiches. Anther Diner enjoyed the Maple Glazed Seared Lachs maple marinated Atlantic salmon served with pineapple Mango Chutney with Cranberry Wild Rice on the side, $11,49. Another at our party loved their Pan Seared Crab Cakes two Backfin Claw Crabmeat Cakes pan seared to a golden brown and served with stone floor mustard on a bed mixed green with cranberry Wild Rice on the side, $11,99. Another one ordered the grilled pork tenderloin thin sliced pork tenderloin with apple cranberry compot, grilled asparagus and cranberry wild rice on the side, $9.99. She loved her court and ordered it here regularly. Our diner, the Salad Trio Asian Chicken, Albacore Tuna, Dill Shrimp Salate served with fresh tropical fruits on a bed of Romaine, $10.99 also liked their meal. Our next diner had served the queue Du Jour with petite spinach apple salad, $9.99. She really enjoyed her meal. The most visually appealing of all our dishes, but was Crabmeat Shrimp Timbale hand-picked Crabmeat Shrimp Salad shaped in a timbal with cut avocado, roasted red pepper diced mango served on a bed of Mesclun Lettuce with lemon dijon vinaigrette. On the salad was a butterfly Jumbo Shrimp. It looked so fresh and visually appealing. Overall we had a wonderful lunch. With the strange arrangement of our tables, however, it was difficult to talk to everyone in our group. Our server has mixed a diner order, but the problem is correct and quickly corrected. We all thought we received very attentive service, especially considering that it was a busy Saturday for the café. We thought the prices for quality and freshness of food were fairly fair. Not only did our meals taste delicious, but also the chefs took care of the artistic presentation. When we left the café, the servers wished us a pleasant afternoon. The staff is very friendly here. We're planning a return. After our meal we all went to the market. I took four or five foods, like several others in my group. The bakery was also seductive. Do not forget to try a cup of complementary beer on tap before you leave the market."
