This was my third visit to Grace. Once again, I can only rave about this restaurant. The salmon was great. I particularly enjoyed the glazed brussel sprouts that came with it. The service could not have been better. Grace is a friendly, welcoming place with superb offerings from appetizers to desserts.
Grace at the CarnegieResponded on February 20, 2025
We are very proud of our salmon and the kitchen does a great job of preparing it. I am happy you had such a fantastic evening will us and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

I came here for my birthday dinner. I set a reservation online and Emily called the day of to confirm, she also happened to be our server, and I believe she is the restaurant manager. She was absolutely wonderful. This restaurant is the perfect combination of class and comfort. Her and the amazing chef brought out our meals. Everything was cooked to perfection. My entire group loved everything we ordered. The 14 oz New York strip practically melted in my mouth. The "is it an apple?" dessert lived up to the expectation, actually surpassed it. Everyone loved the wine and the nice glasses they came in. The nice man that was hosting was so friendly and welcoming; he took a few group photos of us as well. We have nothing but great things to say about this place and cannot wait to return! The people running this place and working here are doing all the right things. The wine, food, and experience are worth every bit of money you'll spend here.

Review based on restaurant being closed despite reservations being open online. NOT an evaluation of the food, which has been very good in the past.
Grace at the CarnegieResponded on February 20, 2025
Sorry to hear about you coming in only to find us closed. We will begin Brunch soon and hope that you will give us another chance.
