    While normally this venue is for those seeing a show at QPAC, this venue is also excellent for any occasion. All of the dishes we ordered were at the perfect portion for sharing, well seasoned, and fresh. The servers were also happy to accomodate us as we were the last ones out for the evening. We will happily visit again

    Enjoyed another lovely dining experience at Good Grace. The menu had changed since we last dined but it contained many special options and our choices were delicious. The service was slick yet relaxed. As my friend and I hadn't seen each other for some time, we stayed for 3 hours yet we weren't rushed away despite the restaurant being almost full. The chef, barista and all staff are to be complimented. Thank you Good Grace. We will be back.
