At Grappa, the Lobster Bisque is offered as an alternative to the standard soup, featuring a creamy lobster base with visible pieces of meat.[13] The kitchen prepares it with enough shellfish to give a pronounced lobster character, rather than a faint seafood accent. Diners describe the bisque as satisfying and substantial, with a texture that strikes a balance between smooth broth and chunky elements. Guests who switched to this soup note that it stands out as a strong way to begin a meal in this neighborhood spot.[13]
