Great atmosphere, food delicious, service was very good. Definitely will return for a repeat.

To start it was a nice welcome in and let us know the bar was open on the roof. We went up to the roof and I ordered Lust cocktail. The price is $14 but a low amount to drink. I told the bartender the price was too high for low drink. She stated "well I only make the drinks not the price". I told her she could take it back. She said she will bring the manager and she never did. My friend told me to keep it and she would pay it. I asked for a straw and bartender didn't bring it quickly, I was headed to go get the straw then she finally came over and gave me a straw. Now the flavor of the cocktail is very good. It was cold outside and they had some nice heaters around and on the tables. read more

My partner took me here after coming here themselves in August, and introduced me to some of their favorite dishes from their previous experience. We mainly ordered starters, and that was enough in helping me make a decision on how I'd rate this place. Among all the starters, my favorite was the blue crab claws, primarily because it had a very nice white wine butter sauce that was elevated by garlic, shallots, and cherry tomatoes that provided a ton of flavor. Not only did the crab claws tasted great in the sauce, but also I used some of the bread from the bruschetta to dip in the sauce. Another favorite was the fried green tomatoes which had a good amount of crabmeat along with champagne crème that elevated the taste. In between dishes, the mocktail Rosey Cheeks served as a great palate cleanser because of the rose water, which had very strong taste. The bruschetta was great as well, with a good amount of crabmeat included along with enough balsamic vinegar. There wasn't enough olive oil or basil, though, which made it a bit worse than expected. The crawfish and sausage mac & cheese was too plain because it didn't seem like the layers under the top were seasoned enough. The chef's fish sandwich had too much tartar sauce, and even if the tartar sauce tasted good, the fish itself didn't really taste seasoned. The Grace Pink Drink under the mocktail section tasted a bit watered down, because it didn't taste enough like any of the ingredients listed, ranging from watermelon Redbull to guava syrup. Overall I think this place has some solid food and I am open to visiting in the future when I am back in Mobile. Next time, I would love to try some of their large plates or just dishes from their dinner menu, which seemed to be highlights according to other customers. read more

Grace on Dauphin : RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE (I arrived 10 minutes early , and was instantly seated) Dauphin Street Rooftop Bar (open in the evenings) Envy Beverage (Rum,Cucumber,Mint) ; Very Refreshing Pride Beverage (Anejo,Agave,Lemon,Rose) ; Pretty good although I would've went with a fancier drink next time. The Envy was by far my favorite. Spinach & Artichoke Dip w/ Warm Pita. Wagyu Meatloaf w/ Duck Fat Gravy , Mashed Potatoes & Collared Greens. The meatloaf was phenomenal and it wasn't too heavy of a meal. The savory flavors and tender textures of this course were very satisfying. Very tender and moist, yet holding its shape without being mushy. Fast service , and very respectful employees. The staff at Grace was efficient and attentive. (took my order without writing it down & showed respect) I look forward to returning. Definitely a go to spot here in Down-Town Mobile. (5-10 min walk from the City) read more

We were told about Grace from a friend so we decided to check them out. When we first got there, the restaurant was empty, but by the time we left, it was packed. I would recommend getting a reservation even during the week if you decide to go. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting. I loved that they also had a rooftop bar, but on this particular night, it was very cold and windy and I didn't see any fire pits or heat lamps so we didn't want to stay on the rooftop. Keep in mind, while the restaurant is nice, it is very dim so it can be hard to see. There were little lamps at our table that helped some, but it was still dark. I even saw a waitress adjust a lamp near the register so she could see. We ordered a few apps, which included the fried green tomatoes, wontons, and the spinach dip. All were very tasty, but I will say the wontons were a nice size but didn't have enough stuffing in them. So it was like you were eating a lot of shell. Also the fried green tomato's although delicious, the crispy texture was drowned out due to the amount of sauce that was on top. It was just too much sauce. For dinner, I ordered the braised beef short rib ragout. I didn't want the mushrooms, but they couldn't take them out so I ordered the dish anyways. It was pretty good. Our waitress said it was spicy, but in my opinion, it wasn't. I also noticed that the tomato sauce was a bit watery...But still a decent dish. All in all, everyone enjoyed their meals. I did notice by the time we received our meals and then were done, our waitress disappeared. I had to ask her twice for a to-go cup and bag so maybe she got really busy because by then, the restaurant was packed. Nonetheless, I would visit again to try a different dish. read more

We arrived Thursday at our reservation time of 6:30 and seated right away but, in a nearly empty restaurant. The only noise we heard was from the street because the front windows were open. Parking was difficult tonight, I am guessing there was a convention in town (neck badges eveywhere) The last time we were here, the place was packed. Our waiter gave us more attention than we needed or wanted since we were his only table. We ordered drinks and fried green tomatoes with lump crabmeat for the table, they were very tasty. Next, I ordered the braised short rib ragout, and also the side of blue cheese potatoes caught my eye, so I ordered as a side. The short rib was tasty but, the potatoes had no bluecheese flavor whatsoever, very dissapointing. She and our guest both ordered the pan roasted duck breast, it was recomended to be cooked to medium rare, both of them accepted. When the duck (both of them) arrived it was cooked beyond medium. It was just ok. This visit felt like 3.5 star visit but, given our past experience, I leaned toward 4 stars vs. 3 stars. This was a dissapointing visit, however, anyone can have a bad night. We will try them again. read more

Review Time: Grace (Mobile, AL) Time to knock the dust off the keyboard and take a minute to freshen up an old passion of mine. I know I have been away, but my other half and I have not taken the time to try any new, inspirational restaurants lately. We did, however, decide to take an overnight trip to Mobile, AL, to see the latest jaw-dropping Chinese Lantern Festival at Bellingrath and to try out a new contemporary restaurant named "Grace". I am excited to see if Executive Chef Mark Strickland has brought a much-needed casual fine dining experience to the Coast of Alabama? I loved the clean and simplistic décor of the restaurant, which means you can come dressed to impress, or if you spent the day on the water, come in with your t-shirts and sandals. This is especially true if you want to spend some time on their beautiful rooftop bar, where you can dine as well. Our server, please forgive me once again, was extremely attentive and did an amazing job suggesting appetizers and desserts. You'd better come here hungry, because Chef Mark does nothing here small scale. I will say Chef does have an extremely creative, simplistic palate. We started with the phenomenal Poutine and West Indies Bruschetta. This was probably some of the best and crispiest fresh-cut fries I have ever had in my life. The duck fat gravy was perfectly seasoned with a smooth texture, but his spin was the delicious fried cheese curds. Simplicity at its finest was the amazingly acidic West indies crab, which was all crab with a little fresh chopped onion with beautifully sweet heirloom tomatoes and toasted baguette. My other half ordered the succulent Beef Short Rib Pasta Ragout, and I decided on the massive Half Roasted Chicken. The short rib ragout was perfectly balanced with flavor. All of the ingredients, short rib, Marzano tomato, spinach, mushrooms, and garlic, were paired perfectly, as well as the precise preparation of the pappardelle pasta. This Chef definitely provides you with half of a chicken, which was extremely moist and tender. The beautifully roasted carrots and broccolini were an excellent match with the rustic preparation of the chicken, but this southerner's delight of cornbread dressing took me back to Thanksgiving with a delicious lemon thyme pan au jus. Prepare your to-go boxes, and don't forget about dessert, because this Banana Foster Tres Leche is sure to win anyone over. Whether you have a sweet tooth or want something on the light side, it can please anyone's palate. The amazingly dense, but extremely moist, sponge cake was perfectly executed; but the knock it out of the park bruleed bananas was the true star of the show. I have not had anything bruleed this good in a long time. I could have eaten a tray full of these bananas, so make sure to order extra!!! Overall Review: ambience and wonderful service (10/10), with perfectly decadent, simplistic execution of food (10/10). It has been a long time since I was inspired to write a review, but hold on to your reservations Grace, because your recognition will not go unnoticed. So, if you want an over-night getaway and some palate pleasing food; don't miss out on a new Chef in Mobile, Mark Strickland, be sure to "Grace" them with your presence. read more

Great place for a nice date out! All the food was great! And the servers were very nice. We went as a big group, but they kept up with all of us very well.

Ate here on a business trip and correctly assumed it would be solid based on the recommendations. We had several appetizers which were all amazing. They kept our drinks coming and very attentive. I have to take a star off for my entree. It was a steak that didn't have any salt or seasoning of any kind. There was none on the tables and I would have even used steak sauce it was so bland. I would go back, but try something else. read more

Walked in to Grace for brunch and they asked us if we wanted to set outside on the rooftop. Wasn't aware of a rooftop, but a perfect day so why not. We were told we could sit anywhere so we walked up the stars. Walk out onto the rooftop where they put outdoor couches under umbrellas and some round tables sitting on top of old whisky barrels. Most of the round table seats were taken so we sat at the bar. Ordered a bloody mary and ordered the Steak Fries. Amazing tenderloin with Chimichurri, a poached egg on top and potatoes. Great atmosphere, the food was fantastic. Definitely coming back. read more

Staff was rude and unhelpful upon entry. Left establishment without being seated. The ambiance looked very inviting with the rooftop bar however, my friend and I never got to see the rooftop bar or any other part of the restaurant as staff indicated the rooftop bar was at capacity and proceeded to pull up cameras to show that in fact there were plenty of empty seats and space. When my friend started to question the capacity the host became defensive and started to backpedal. Also, was told I could not bring my coke from the bar next door into their establishment bc no outside food or drink was allowed even though my beverage had no alcohol. Which is fine but the chef was very rude in his delivery of this declaration. It was a very unfortunate experience to say the least as this establishment seemed to be an up and coming location based on being the only rooftop bar in downtown mobile. However, due to this very poor experience. I will not be back. read more

It's ok. Located on the restaurant heavy Dauphin St. Nice looking place with a rooftop patio as a seating option. We had a large party of 6 when we went, but were seated on arrival. Service was decent. I got the Reuben sandwich. It was alright. A little on the small side. Fries were good. Party also went for the 12 oz ribeye, which was good. Their version of a Po Boy BLT was decent. Prices were ok. All in all, nothing spectacular, but it did the job. read more

We ate at Grace on Wednesday, December 11th with a party of 10 at 6:30PM. We ate in the lower level main dining area. It can sometimes be a challenge to serve a large group; however, we thought our server did so with professionalism and efficiency. She even had a training server with her. The food came out relatively quickly, considering we had a party of 10. I had the 8 ounce filet with Chimichurri Sauce and a side of Asparagus and Blue Cheese Mashed. Everything was cooked the way I wanted, and it was delicious. Our table also ordered several appetizers, and I got to try some of the triple tail dip, stuffed mushrooms and cheese curds. All were excellent. I would definitely return here again in the future. read more

Good food but seemed to be confusion with our reservations... They sat us 30-45 min late... all the food did not come out until we asked about 2 people in group that still did not have food. The restaurant closed at 9 and when we went to order dessert they said the kitchen closed at 9pm. The server stated we should have been told- and I think she could have let us know before they closed the kitchen. Even though the food was better than average I do not think I will return based on how the evening transpired. read more

Well, I brunched at Grace's and I loved it! Tried the Grillades and Grits, and coffee w/ a shot of Bailey's -- perfection! The flavors were on point, the service (with Lance) was fast and friendly. The decor and aesthetic were great. Their menu is impressive and they deliver on presentation and taste. The bite of the croque monsieur I tried was delicious as well. Love the rooftop dining option as well. Definitely worth the visit, and I'd like to see (and try) their dinner menu. Cheers! read more

After going a few times, and giving chances, I can say I don't get the hype and that it seems to have gone down since it opened. I wouldn't even leave a bad review for them if it was not for the prices, because what you get for your money isn't worth it. $14 just to add tuna to a salad? my friend's $50 steak was practically inedible, they cooked it correctly but it was honestly gross, so fatty and stringy and unappetizing for how expensive it was. The wedge salad was absolutely drenched in dressing. I enjoy dressing but it was to the point where it made the salad unappealing, messy and drowning out any other flavors. My friend and i got the same drink and they tasted different, when they should have been the same ratio of ingredients. My husband got the duck, which was good, but the sides were meh. He said the veggies were not cooked enough and were rubbery. I don't expect every meal out to be perfect with no flaws, but it's disappointing when you're out $130 for a meal that just wasn't good. They have a cocktail for $14 that is literally just a tequila soda with a lime. Same with the high life & shot of Jameson for $14, that is just blatant greed. If you're going to go for expensive gourmet restaurant vibes, cook the food better and get rid of the TVs. If you're going to have 7 giant TVs playing sports then don't try to be elegant (overly expensive). The mix of those 2 vibes does not work for me. also I am just so so tired of every single restaurant playing the most boring repetitive club music, why not play something more classy? Trying to appeal to the most people at once really makes people lose the plot. read more

The scallops with couscous are absolutely delicious! The rooftop is a nice spot to hang out. Service was pretty good and drinks are good.

I've never turned away a Caesar salad in my life--it's such a simple dish, and yet somehow this place managed to ruin it. The dressing was sour in the worst way, borderline gag-worthy. To make matters worse, I tried to order a basic sangria and was met with complete confusion. I literally had to list the ingredients to the server, who responded with an attitude that made the whole experience even more unpleasant. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, the mashed potatoes turned out to be the powdered, instant kind. read more

I don't know how the Mixologist do it in that heat upstairs on the deck. Fabulous But we braved it with them at 7:30pm. It wasn't bad at all. But I was drinking and enjoying the view. Not working and serving quality mixed drinks and delicious food. Although the burger was $29, I see also that I was paying for the view and prestige of being in downtown Mobile Al, Home of Africatown. Even though tired and hot, the staff was able to deliver some great food and drinks to our table. Then to the bar because we relocated to eat. You can do that before the 8:00 rush in this particular day. Til Next time. read more

Quick stop into Grace during my evening walking tour of Mobile. Rare that I walk by a place and check it out without a Yelper's review. I was walking by the door and I thought the place was closed on a Monday like several others on the same street until I noticed the crowd through the dark tinted windows. Equally as important they had the Gold Cup soccer game on between Panama vs. Costa Rica and it just started. I was welcomed at the bar by the bartender Steven who was good for a chat and he suggested some food selections. I ordered a cider with OJ to drink and a bowl of their seafood chowder as Steven suggested. Great choice. Steven also brought me 4 slices of warm buttered toast to eat before and with my chowder. Good place great cider and friendly service. 5 stars! Cheers. read more

We came for Sunday brunch & first visit. Lance our server was attentive & friendly. Service was perfect. My Croquet Madame unfortunately was not hot & the egg undercooked. Staff were quick to make it right however they brought the egg back completely hard & dried out. The crab cake fried green tomatoes were delicious. My Bloody Mary was tasty however the wonderful array of garnishes tasted stale & went uneaten including the bacon which I love bacon. I wanted to like this restaurant given all the positive reviews. It wasn't crowded at 12pm but slowly people came in by the time we left. Just under $50.00 for lunch without tip. I expected all the entrees to be on point as the menu is limited. The indoor dining area is spacious & loved that they had a piano. No music was playing at this time. We did not get to the roof top area. read more

We went to visit Grace right after work at 5 and it was perfect timing. We were immediately greeted upon arrival. We didn't have reservations so we opted to go upstairs and sit on the rooftop for drinks and appetizers. What a great decision we made. The night sky was perfect. The outdoor staff was nice friendly and attentive. I initially ordered the greed cocktail which I did not like. However, the suggested a drink that I loved called the Lust cocktail. We ordered the pork belly wontons, skirt steak street tacos, fettuccine and crawfish Mac and cheese. It was all delicious. I can't wait to return for some good food and drinks in LODA. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday for brunch. There was an event going on downtown and was told all seats had reservations. Checked out the outside seating but it was a little chilly so decided to try again another day. Was about to leave when the hostess informed me that two tables had combined and a table was available, +1. I ordered the breakfast biscuit and home fries. The fries were hot and crispy, another win. The breakfast sandwich was a huge biscuit with egg, bacon, collard greens and hollandaise sauce. It was amazing! The biscuit was fresh and as were all of the ingredients. I will be back to try the outside/rooftop seating when it warms up a bit. Service was also good and attentive. read more

I loved this Boojie restaurant in downtown Mobile. We were able to sit on the roof top, it was a beautiful night for that. Our server (I believe his name was Alex) was GREAT!

My favorite dish was the white chocolate bread pudding DELISH! I will definitely return to Grace's Restaurant. read more

The service was AMAZING! Our waiter was super attentive and even other staff checked up on us. But the food was okay. I was in Mobile visiting a friend and we thought we'd stop by Grace for dinner since I've been craving steak. I ordered the filet, medium, with truffle fries and street corn. Lol I'm from California so my naive self thought street corn was going to be Mexican street corn, it was not. There were bell peppers in it so it tasted very peppery, it was interesting but I don't think it was really for me. The truffle fries are a classic. The steak was over cooked for my liking and mostly tasted burnt, probably should have gotten medium rare. I also got a drink called holy water, I can't remember what was in it besides tequila and it being pretty strong. For desert we got the crème brûlée and I felt like the proportion was pretty big!! It was my favorite part of dinner. Loved the ambience of the restaurant too. Been obsessed with Doja Cat's Paint The Town Red song so this restaurant was the perfect theme for it. read more

Meh. Called ahead (Saturday evening, 5:30) to ask if we needed reservations, not required. Was also told outdoor seating on the roof was available. Arrived at 7:30, not particulary busy. Asked for a table on the roof, not available because of a private party, frustrating. Server finally got to our table. Not very attentive, was somewhat engaging. We started with mocktails which were nice: Cucumber Crush & Rosey Cheeks: Nice presentation & glassware, great flavor combinations. Inquired about the non-alcoholic sparkling wine, they did not have any, disappointing. Appetizer: Lump Crabmeat & Fried Green Tomatoes with champagne creme sauce. Underwhelming, tomatoes were fine, the sauce had virtually no taste. Dinner: Pan Seared Diver Scallops and Baby Green Salad with Grilled Chicken. After waiting for what felt like well over 20 minutes, our entrees arrived. Server did not check on us once during that time. The Scallops with Coucous was good, a bit of grit in the scallops, but I realize they can be difficult to purge. My friend was quite happy with her salad: fresh, flavorful & satisfying. Dessert: Bread Pudding & Chocolate Pot De Creme. I enjoyed the bread pudding: arrived warm, good flavor, lovely sauce. The chocolate was basically pudding topped with raspberries, nuts & cream (wish I had tried the ricotta cheesecake). My friend was not impressed with either. The tagline on the website reads, "Gourmet Goes Casual". Casual, yes. Gourmet, not so much. Overall, was disappointed, unlikely to return. read more
