Gracie&#x27;s

Is there a menu with prices? I am trying to plan a birthday dinner but want to make sure the prices are on budget.

Its great to see that Gracie's is open again. The menu is really setup for the prix fixe 5 course. A five course Chef's Tasting is $100, paired with wine its $150. The seven course Chef's Tasting is $135, paired with wine $200. However, the a la…

How much is the typical 3 course dinner?

It depends. 49.95 for restaurant week or their pre-fix 3 course. anywhere between 60-100 if order…

Is there a corkage fee?

yes, $25 per bottle.

I'm so sad that I cannot give more stars to Skyline at Waterplace…read more Their venue is in such an INCREDIBLE location, in the heart of downtown Providence right on the river. They have a huge balcony that overlooks the river and a ground level patio that walks right out to the river boardwalk. We were able to enjoy Providence's Water Fire with private, front row seats. It was a priceless experience Despite all of that, the interior spaces are very, very small and oddly shaped, making it very hard to move during an event. It also makes it very difficult for the staff to maneuver in between tables, causing a major traffic jam when it comes to meal time. I'm not sure what happened when we were there, but there were MAJOR delays and mix ups during our event. So much so that the wait staff actually forgot to serve our entire table. By the time the realized this, they served us ice cold food that was over cooked, over salted, and actually inedible. The hosts of our event tried to correct it by offering to comp our table a round of drinks. But at that point we were all so disappointed and turned off by the entire experience that we all decided to leave two hours before the end of the event. Skyline at Waterplace has the potential to be incredible. But until they make some major changes, it's not a place I can recommend.

The manager came over and shamed us for our wanting to use separate forms of payment too. Separate checks stopped being a big deal in the 90s. In the 90s there was easy to use POS tech to do separate checks. And then they added gratuity (without telling us or noting it anywhere) so the bit about how people don't right with separate checks was uncalled for. There is zero chance I'll ever go back here. But. Again. The appetizers were good.

Let me start off by saying I love Gracie's, it is probably my favorite restaurant in Providence thus far. I always order the 3 course prix-fix menu because of the absolutely amazing and seasonal options that are always on it. Fresh pastas, local vegetables, seafood, cheeses and perfectly cooked proteins. The best dish so far? Deliciously crunchy on the outside and a beautiful juicy medium-rare center filet that was seasoned to perfection. I usually do not order filet because, compared to other cuts of beef, it lacks flavor. However, this was absolutely not the case here. Looking beyond the kitchen and at the front of the house now. The service is impeccable. The whole brigade system is extremely attentive, but not overbearingly so. The other positives of this restaurant, after every meal you are presented with macaroons, my favorite cookies. Another little extra surprise? The valet leaves a little packet of cookies in your car when they bring it around. These little touches just bring this restaurant a little closer to perfection. So with all these raves, why only four stars? Sadly, I was slightly disappointed the last time I went. I arrived at 7:00 p.m. on the Monday before Valentine's day with my boyfriend and was promptly seated. Our waiter then came over and we ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley (we were getting prepared for our upcoming trip to Napa Valley in a few weeks!). The wine was fantastic for my preference, slightly sweet with an aroma of currants, delicious. The food however, fell a little flat. I was persuaded, against my will, to stray from the 3 course prix-fix that I love so dearly. So, we opted for the 5-course tasting menu. The first course of scallop crudo accompanied with grapefruit and a spicy radish garnish was mouth-watering. The citrus paired perfectly with the scallop as did the crunch of the radish. However, it was all downhill for the next three courses. The other dishes just seemed a little bland and the chicken ballotine was extremely overcooked, causing it to be a little chewy and off-putting in texture. The meal picked back up with the amazing creamsicle ice cream that was served for dessert, I wish I could of taken a pint home with me. I will, of course, continue to come to Gracie's. I however, will not be straying from the prix-fix menu that I have grown so fond of. read more

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible job Cassandra did in planning and executing my daughter's wedding shower at Gracie's. Her meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were evident in every aspect of the event, making it a truly memorable experience for all attendees. We were particularly impressed with the poise and grace in which you managed the event, always available but never hovering...if that makes any sense!! The excellent food, seamless coordination, the beautiful decorations all came together with skill and expertise. The event truly exceeded our expectations and showcased Cassandra's exceptional talent and dedication. I am extremely appreciative of your hard work and the expertise that you and the team brought to the table. Thank you for your hard work and for going above and beyond to ensure the success of such a happy event. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Maryann read more

For my first time visiting Gracie's, it was very different from what I experienced before. When walking into the restaurant, it looked like a small palace. Everything was neat, clean, and presentable. I smelled bread; freshly baked when walking into Gracie's. The dining room that the group was sitting in was very elegant. Beautiful lights, it was a nice setting. The food was very out of my league, but it was something new. The blueberries mixed with the lemon ricotta topped with mint was very bitter. I felt like they forced the taste to take control. The tomato salad was very good,but the cheese over-took everything. The duck and creme brulee was my favorite course. I loved the taste. The creme brulee was sweet and the glazed caramel melted in my mouth. The duck tasted just like chicken and it was too good to be true. Gracie's is a very nice restaurant. read more

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. Fine dining without a hint of pretentiousness. Food was absolutely incredible. However, my favorite aspect was the service. Jim and Christina were so warm and just made us feel so comfortable in this restaurant we had never been to before. I'm new to Providence and mentioned I was looking for a dog park. Christina gave me directions to a new one on the east side. And, I wanted to mention it, because, besides making sure we enjoyed our experience at Gracie's, she also made us feel welcomed to the city itself. She didn't have to do that and it made a big impression on my husband and I. We felt like family by the time we left. We will be back very soon, both for the amazing food, and the all to rare level of hospitality we received. read more

My first time at Gracie's was an excellent experience. Everyone there treated me with respect and made me feel as comfortable as possible. As for the restaurant being clean, there wasn't a speck of dirt found, the decor was amazing. The only con about the restaurant is that it was a little small, giving only space for 2 people to walk in at a time. When walking in, the lighting was dimmed perfectly. The waiters were polite, treating you with the utmost respect. The food was amazing, having lots of selections to choose from. The best part of my meal was the duck, only trying it once but making me want to eat it again. Overall I enjoyed my time at Gracie's, giving me another reason to go again. read more

The food is great! I've had a few things; the gnocchi, foi gras, the prix fixe meal, a microgreen salad. The great thing is that they change the menu up all the time so it's not always the same. I only gave 3 stars because the staff can be really hit or miss. I like a certain level of formality if I'm going to pay a certain amount and felt that some of the staff was over familiar with me. Also, why would you hire a guy with a lisp? I haven't seen him in 5 months or so, so I don't believe him to be there any longer. I also think the decor is atrocious! It looks really '90s glam county chic for lack of a better descriptor. Lots of gold painted stars everywhere to the point of overkill. read more

My friends and I were upgraded to the private wine room, which provided the perfect intimate setting for close conversation. The food was truly upscale, expertly prepared and deliciously executed. The restaurant went above and beyond by providing a nearby room specifically set up for the New Year's ball drop, making it an unforgettable experience. Gracie's exceeded my expectations with its high-end atmosphere, impeccable service and unparalleled cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a special night out or a memorable dining experience. read more

Gracie's is a really good restaurant. The food quality, taste, presentation and service was incredible. The servers were very professional and nice and friendly. They were open and welcoming to everyone. All they wanted was for you to be comfortable and for us to enjoy. I loved the bread, the honey bread especially, it was sweet and it taste like this Portuguese bread i had before. The butter that you put on the bread is the same butter I used back home in cape Verde so it brought back a lot of good memories of what i ate before. If you want to go to a nice, friendly and good place to eat, i would recommend Gracie's. read more

It's expensive, but so worth it if you can afford the experience! My boyfriend took me a few times for special occasions and their food made me cry like a baby. Each course is carefully prepared and they give pallet cleaners between each one. I've had the sweet breads on many occasions, and like the waiter said, "It's like the best chicken nugget you've ever had." So true...especially considering if most people knew what they were they probably wouldn't eat them. The duck was also phenomenal, the fresh pasta, the lamb with bone marrow, and of course creme brulee. I'm not kidding, it was a total foodgasm in my mouth. read more

Chef Ben Sukle has received many accolades including being a James Beard Finalist so I knew we were in for a treat. Everything we ordered was so fresh, had a farm-to-table vibe, and felt very intentional. 3 different dishes had 3 different types of olive oil - that's impressive! I was blown away by the Red Shrimp Quasi Crudo. They were slightly sweet, perfectly cooked with a delicate snap, and I still got some of the roasted/grilled flavor. The Raw Scallops were so simple yet so exquisite. This is a must order along with anything on their crudo menu! The Carrot & Mascarpone Anolini was such a unique pasta and was perfectly balanced and delicious. And definitely leave room for dessert because you can't leave here without trying the Wood-Roasted Basque-Style Cheesecake. It's so creamy, borderline custardy, with a beautiful char on top and the delicate blueberries and olive oil that paired so well together.

The only bread available cost $12. Maybe it's amazing but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $12 for bread on principle. The food took awhile to arrive. Long enough for the server to tell us she was leaving for the night and to get up and order two drinks directly from the bar myself. The servers were nice in a way that felt somewhat forced. We are finding someplace else for dessert. I really liked my espresso martini, and that was within the price range I would expect ($13).

WOW. just. WOW! best meal I have had in a long time The restaurant is not overly large with a…read morelong bar. Sleek and clean design. Very comfortable. The service, from the hostess to the waiter, was perfect. I was very impressed with the new bartender who has a VERY nice pour. I've had doubles that didn't compare. See the photo. I was torn over a couple of menu items but settled on the short ribs. They were delicious Also a nod to the cooler weather here after 100 degree days in Nashville. Color me happy. I'm here a couple of days and staying steps away. Guess where I'm eating tomorrow

Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere. Dj came in and started mixing fantastic beats!!read more

This place had been on my list for a while to try-- I enjoyed it but it was way more expensive than…read moreI expected it to be based on the vibes from the outside. Including tip my dinner came out to $44 for salmon with two sides. That said, the food was really good and I appreciated that they had a "simply grilled" section with a choice of meat and two sides included. They also had a nice basket of bread (focaccia I think) though I wish it came with olive oil. Service was good-- our waitress was really nice and a fellow server (?) named Paulo was really on top of boxing up my leftovers and refilling my water. There is no parking really, but they do offer "complimentary" valet. Last note: we came at 5:00 and were able to walk right in, but by 5:30/6 it was filled up so I would recommend a reservation.

Grabbed lunch here simply because it was the closest to where we were and we were tired from…read morewalking. Nice atmosphere. Kind of an English pub vibe. Didn't get too adventurous with the menu. Butternut Squash soup was good. Salad was fine. Burger I felt was a little undercooked for a medium but acceptable. Drink refills and dealing with the check seemed a little slow considering it wasn't that busy. But still a place I'd consider going again for dinner.

We stumbled upon this excellent restaurant while exploring the area during a beach weekend…read more It's very unassuming on the outside, but the reviews and the photos online convinced us to give it a shot... We were blown away! The staff was very welcoming and service was warm and friendly. The food was truly impressive. We had a (fantastic) calamari appetizer, drinks, and my wife ordered a Pork Milanese I ordered the short rib. The entrées were truly excellent... Presented well, tasted delicious, and made me want to come back and try other dishes on the menu. The chef came out and visited each table to ask how they liked their dinner, which was a nice touch. If you were in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Celestial Café absolutely lived up to the hype. My friend and I stopped in between lunch and dinner…read moreso it was nice and quiet, which made for such a relaxed visit. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We shared the smoked pork nachos to start and wow... so flavorful. The side of cool ranch was such a delicious bonus. I ordered the gluten free fish and chips and honestly could not stop eating the fries. Perfectly salty with just the right amount of sriracha on top. So good. My friend ordered the chicken parm grinder which looked incredible and disappeared quickly. I was so full and enjoyed my delicious cocktail while my friend ordered the chocolate chip banana foster (with 2 spoons). I honestly could have drank the banana rum ice cream sauce. Thank you for a great meal and experience. I totally understand all the fabulous reviews now. I might just be back tomorrow.
