Complaint Review: Grape Street Seafood Grill - San Diego California

I would like to offer my apology to Peter for falsely accusing him of posting a phoney report. I hope you accept it.

You keep changing it's location. Give up the adress for this place. Your City Treasurer has never heard of it. He's the guy who hands out business licenses. We want to assist you. If this place is unlicensed, they need to be shut down. Let me guess...not only do they have an unlisted phone number, they also have an unlisted physical adress.

It's nice to hear from one of the Junior members of the ROR Troll Patrol. You and the Senior Trolls, Peter and Robert make ROR a better place with your unwanted, useless and erroneous commentary on practically every thread. As far as libel and slander, I believe that YOU Grizella are engaging in it, and should cease immediately. The establishement that you have referenced is not the establishment that I have referenced. I have posted a complaint against the "Grape Street Seafood Grill" on 4th Avenue located in San Diego, CA. The reason I did not post the phone number is because I respect the owner and don't want obvious mental defectives like you Robert and Peter calling the establishment. Secondly, I don't know what relevance the "Biff Malibu" that you referenced has to this post. I AM NOT HIM, nor have I made any insinuations either implicit or explicit that I was. The Biff Malibu you referenced HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS POST AT ALL. So why did you drag him into this? You're not very smart are you Grizella. In closing, I hope that you, Robert and Peter are taking advantage of the Medicare prescription program and getting the psychiatric medications that you require to function at a slightly below average social level. Good Day.

This is another one of Peter's phoney stories. Just like the story about using food stamps at Piggly Wiggly to buy items for his fancy dinner party and the story of his adventure in the gay bar. Just ignore it.

Great catch Angelina the internet troll. It's sad that's all you could come up with. It's fairly evident that I can spell the possessive of "Establishment" and that it was a typo. What a witless comment. You must have very little going on in your life. And, my bar tab was $312.55, and I left a $70 tip, begrudgingly of course. The last time I ran a $400 bar tab and left him 5 bucks, to prove a point of course. Well, the manager called the owner, and the owner called my father. He went in the next day for lunch and gave the *&*& $100, against my wishes. Then my father insisted that we leave this rude idiot a 20% tip at all times. The reason being that he goes there for lunch almost everyday. As a matter of fact, my father thinks it's better that I find a new place to drink and eat. So I will. Good Day

I fail to see the relevance of you not being able to find the listing for the Grape Street Seafood Grill and it's existence. This could mean a couple of things. 1. It's unlisted to keep the likes of rednecks like yourself out, or 2. You're incapable of a search. It's most likely #2, since San Diego isn't really for rednecks anyway. The Grape Street Seafood Grill has been in existence since the 1970's, it's actually on 4th Ave right next to the Hard Rock. More than likely if you were to be in this neighborhood you would be apprehended by the police for your seedy, suspicious appearance and missing teeth. I'm not sure who appointed you to validate the claims on ROR. But you should really get your facts straight. The postings I have made are 100% factual. The new manager and bartender are a couple of A-Holes and have harrassed me and my clients since they took over a few months ago. Most of this harrassment has stemmed from their dislike of me and clients enjoying a few cocktails with our meals. And as far as $200 a bottle scotch, my guess is you just looked up some expensive liqour on the internet and are referencing it. You no more drink $200 a bottle scotch than you make an intelligent comment, which is never of course. I imagine you're just some lonely internet troll with nothing to do except harrass people on this site, (which seems to be just about everyone who has ever posted, do you have a freakin' job??, or are you just some wheelchair bound invalid living off tax dollars?) This is truly sad, and I certainly shouldn't take it personally. Please move onto your next target.

I too was unable to find a Grape Street Seafood. There is a Grape Street cafe but they don't serve halibut or tuna and I don't think they serve hard liquor. I called the Chamber of Commerce for this city and they had no record of a "Grape Street Seafood". Why doesn't the original poster provde a street address and phone number for this business? Here is another reason I believe this is a troll letter. The name "Biff Malibu". Robert, go to yahoo.com and type in the words: Biff Malibu dvds. LOL!!!!! To answer Biff's quesiton about why would he write a good letter and make up the name of a restaurant because that doesn't make any sense.... Well, goof letters make no sense period. However, a smart troll (that is sort a contradiction, isn't it) would make up a business name as opposed to libeling and slandering a legitimate business name, now wouldn't he/she? I hope this entire thread will die now.

There is no listing ANYWHERE for a Grape Street Seafood Grill in San Diego California. Perhaps during one of you drunken stupors, you fell into a chum bucket laying on the docks. The mere fact you drink American Whiskey, shows me that you are not up to my level. When you start drinking Macallan Scotch, let me know. I'll assume you cannot afford a $200/bottle beverage, since you have to scam your way into a free meal. As for your insinuation about my teeth, sorry... I have all but one of my own. The guy that knocked it out is at least twice the man you'll ever be, and he's interred at Arlington Cemetary. Redneck? I'm not the one face down in a bucket of bait. Jackass? Nice. Nope, you have your political affiliation, and I have mine. Keep trying to scam free meals. The shelter you sleep in will feed you if you just stop dragging that bucket around.

Why on earth would I make up a name of a restaurant if I were pulling a gag post? This makes no sense. How can you prove a negative? What is your proof that the Grape Street Seafood Grill does not exist? Did you fly to San Diego and walk up and down Grape Street looking for it? I have dined at this establishment many times as have many San Diegans. I was victimized by an overzealous manager and his lackey bartender. How dare you accuse me of staging a gag. The Grape Street Seafood Grill is real. San Diego is 3000 miles away from lovely, upscale Jacksonville. I'd be surprised that you could actually find anything in San Diego ... I now reach out to my fellow San Diegans to prove this know-it-all wrong. I would appreciate that anyone who knows of Grape Street to please let Sir Know Nothing At All know that it is a real place. Thank You

Too bad there is NO restaurant called Grape Street Seafood Grill, in San Diego. Take your medications.

Why the only goof on this thread is you Robert. What would some hillbilly from Jackassville know about fine dining anyway? Well, it is Saturday night, so I suppose you, Goober, Jethro and Opie are all going down to the creek to catch some crawdads and bring them back to Ellie May and Aunt Bee to cook up on the front stoop of the double wide. Have a shot of Grannys XXX moonshine for me you toothless, retarded, redneck jacka**.

My tuna would NOT have been given to someone else. The Grape Street Seafood Grill is not Long John Silvers. I'm sure that's where YOU dine. If orders are incorrect or not prepared to the patrons liking, the meal is discarded and a fresh one is prepared.

Yes, they did indeed offer to prepare the tuna for me, but the halibut is outstanding as well, so I went with it to save them the time of making a new meal. A cheap bottle of chardonnay doesn't make up for the inconvenience they could have caused me. I'm one of their top ten customers.

Let me add that the bartender and the manager are both new, they come from a rival restaurant here in San Diego. They both worked together there. They've been at Grape Street for about 2 months now. They've harrassed me and hassled me to the point of causing me mental anguish. Most of the harassment has been particular to their concern over the amount of alcohol that I consume. This absolutely is none of their business as I am a responsible drinker.

Good Day.

Am I the only one who realizes that THIS REPORT IS FAKE???!!! Wake up and smell the coffee, people!

This thread is a goof. It ranks up there with the lost McNugget, Peter's Food Stamp Dinner, Peter's Gay Bar experience, and a number of other threads.

Alcohol has now been mentioned in both your "issues" with this establishment. It was well within the bartender's and manager's right to curtail you and your client's over consumption as they are ultimately responsible for what would happen you due to your inebriation. That establishment would have been named in a lawsuit faster then you consumed those shots THAT YOU ORDED! That's why you were expected to pay for them.

As for the halibut, they apparently gave you someone else's order so it would not have gone to waste as you try to justify. They tried to make the order right but you prevented it by settling for the halibut. You should have paid the whole tab.

They should have called the police for theft of services.

Establishment has one 's' in it, not two. I think it's time for you to stop drinking so much. It impairs your judgement, and you become so full of yourself. A $70.00 tip? You think that was enough for that poor bartender having to deal with your drunken foolishness. You think you are high class, but after reading through here, and seeing what you wrote, you are very very low class. And so, the joke still is on you.

I think your picture should be posted in all restraunts as someone who shouldnt be allowed in. You really remind me of someone who would do slip & fall scams all over town. I think you've proven that the restraunt has great food and an obviously competent manager who not only protected his cutomers from you but also his staff. How many other restraunts have you scammed free meals from? Ever do the old "Theres a fly in my soup"???

Yes, the joke is on them. I have dined personally, or on business at this establishment at least twice a week for the last 3 years. I have taken many clients here for top shelf seafood fare, and have spent in my estimation approximately $75K over that period of time.

But I think my recent banishment may be unfairly linked to an event that took place several weeks ago. Me and an important client had been enjoying a fair number of cocktails in the lounge whilst waiting for our table.

After about 3 hours, the rude bartender intimated that we were intoxicated and refused us further alcohol service. We informed him that we were not driving, so what was the issue? We argued vehemently with this joker before the manager came over and warned us that WE would have to leave because of the bartender's inappropriate behavior.

We finally consented to cease our imbibing of alcohol and concentrate on the fine seafood dishes. We settled the bar tab of over $300 and left the bartender a nice $70 tip despite his incredibly rude and disrespectful behavior.

We were lead to a table (by the kitchen I might add) and ordered our entrees sans alcohol. After my client ordered, he got up to use the restroom.

After about a minute or so, I heard a woman screaming and some commotion by the restrooms. It seems the poorly labeled restroom doors had confused my client, and as a result, he ended up in the ladies room and mistook the sink for a urinal.

The manager informed me that he had zero tolerance for behavior of this nature, and that my client would have to leave immediately, though I was welcome to stay. We then engaged in a heated argument with the manager and were both ejected in an unceremonious, humiliating fashion. I was told that I was banned for life.

The next day I called the owner of the restaurant and explained the humiliation I suffered as a result of his manager's gestapo tactics. The owner agreed with me, and I was permitted to dine there again. The owner told me that he would personally warn the manager that his behavior was inappropriate and would no longer be tolerated.

So, as you can see, the manager just had an axe to grind with me because of his own incomptence and stupidity. And although I could call the owner again and again gain access to the establisshment, I've chosen not to.

The Joke IS on them.

Now that is funny. I think they went above and beyond to satisfy you, and you still complain.

I am sure they will not miss you visiting their establishment.

The incorrect entree was delicious, however, they would have had to throw it out had I opted for the tuna, so I don't believe I should have paid for it or the Jim Beam.

In addition, I had 5 martinis and a dozen oysters on the half before my mea was served. The total for these items was $84 and I was more thsn willing to pay, however I was rudely asked to leave the restaurant, and not required to pay.

And even if I had not been banned from the establishment, I was never going back anyway, so the joke is on them. There's many fine dining establishments here in San Diego anyway.

I can't believe what I am hearing! They accidentally brought you the wrong entree, yet it looked so good you decided to eat it rather than wait for the one that you ordered. You even admit that it was good!

The manager was nice enough to give you a complimentary bottle of wine, which he certainly did not HAVE to do.

You then demand to have YOUR ENTIRE MEAL comped? Why? You received excellent food and excellent service.

I am in agreement with the manager who told you that you are hereby banned from the establishment.
