We went here for an anniversary dinner. Dinner started with a complimentary glass of champagne, which was lovely. We did the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing and it was AMAZING! I thought it was very fairly priced as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back! read more

The reviews are true. We came for restaurant week and everything from the food to the service was excellent. The reservation process was smooth and we were seated promptly. The ambience is very cozy and perfect for a special occasion. The server asked us if we were on a time restriction, which I thought was considerate. We told him we weren't, so they did not rush us at all. I ordered the russet potato gnocchi, crescent duckling, and creme brûlée. Everything was delicious, but dessert was definitely my favorite. Between each course, we were given various tastings that were also great. The valet even leaves a pack of cookies in your car! Overall, we had a nice experience and will definitely be back. read more

We lucked out. My partner won one of those Super tickets from Verizon and we were lucky enough to grab a dinner table at Gracies, on them. We started with champagne and a baby green salad with potato crisps. The micro greens they use in the salad are phenomenal and fresh. A server then came over with a spoon of toasted brioche, goat cheese and apple chutney. What a bite! I can't explain why but I instantly thought of an Asian profile in flavor. Next was a pear and lemon sorbet- beautiful pallet cleanser We had the sausage and Roma tomato Ragu and split the herb roasted rabbit and gnocchi. The rabbit was so tender, and the skin was so crispy. YUM. Finally we finished with coffee and creme brûlée But wait.. our fabulous server had to put one last stop out and bring us two impeccable grape macaroons. Bravo. read more

The tasting menu with wine pairings is one of my favorite. We love to try it for special occasions, or just because!

Gracie's was our choice for my 35th wedding anniversary. We chose the pre-fix five course menu with wine paring. The food was delicious and the wine excellent. The service was very attentive and informed us about the menu items as they arrived. We were seated in a private corner of the restaurant that was private and well decorated. Gracie's is the perfect location for a special occasion read more

I loved the gnocchi appetizer. The gnocchi had a beautiful cast iron finish and was paired nicely with a crunchy umami sprinkling. I'd additionally recommend the fioe gras -- the dish isn't a personal favorite, but I could tell it was very well done when tasting my girlfriend's appetizer. I thought my main (duck) was a little disappointing when compared to the amazing appetizers. It was nicely prepared and plated, but the duck didn't have anything that made the dish special or unique. The restaurant has a beautiful rustic interior and is great for any special occasion. read more

I highly recommend the 5 course tasting option. The experience is one to remember for years. The flavors are perfectly combined to create an amazing dish. Each dish makes an art piece of flavor and design. Pure excellence. read more

Gracie's is the quintessential special occasion restaurant. The service is impeccable and the food is thoughtfully prepared. I have only been here twice but each time it was a world-class dining experience! Also, each time it was during Restaurant Week ($35 pp) and no quality of service was ever compromised. Last night I had the beet salad, swordfish entree, and the chocolate marquise dessert. I love fish but I've never been a fan of swordfish only because every single time I've ordered it at a restaurant, it has been dry and tough so I wanted to challenge Gracie's. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! It was so tender, like I was eating a fatty piece of meat! My only criticism was that it was lacking some acid. It needed something...perhaps a punch of citrus. I also got to taste my partner's entire meal. The greens salad with blue cheese was rich and scrumptious. The duck was OMG. I'll leave it at that. The creme brulee was great, tastes just like the one I make! :) If you're going to go, you're already looking to splurge so definitely get the wine pairing for $30 more. It's so worth it! Every glass made the food taste just phenomenal! I left extremely satisfied after scarfing down all three courses along with the few (and fun) rounds of amuse bouche and all the bread a girl could ask for. Not really sure how my fellow Yelpers could leave hungry... P.S. Complimentary valet is available! read more

The 5 course chef's tasting menu was absolutely incredible. Unique and delectable flavor combinations, beautiful presentation, perfectly-timed service. The potato gnocchi, cod, and chocolate caramel tart will probably resurface in my dreams... read more

I love everything about this place! If you have the time do the tasting menu with the wine pairing you won't regret it! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helps to make your experience unforgettable. Moreover, the food is mouthwatering. Totally recommend coming here, it is pricy but you get what you pay for. read more

So we chose this restaurant as a last min thing to go and have dinner for my bday. Because the place we originally had in mind - was fully booked for tonight. So We made last min reservations and they asked me if we are celebrating anything. So I said it was my bday. I mean, why not right!?! I thought they would prob sing to me lol. Anyway. This restaurant is simply amazing. We are from NY and it takes a lot for me to be impressed. And I think they almost brought me to tears and in all the years .. I don't think this has ever happened. It was my husband and I and our 2yr old. First of all, They gave us a beautiful table. On it was a card. A BDAY CARD TO ME!!!! Hand written. Who thinks of this?!?!? Wow. Blown away already. I am so sorry, I don't remember the waitress's name but she was phenomenal. They all were!!! I really mean it! She brought out champagne for us and told us to toast!!!! Idk if they do this for all but still!!! Wow wow wow. They brought our daughter a bag of crayons and a coloring book!!!! These gestures and such attention to detail.... I was blown away. And this is without trying their food yet. The food was AHHHMAZING. SIMPLY AMAZING. I AM SO HAPPY WE CHOSE THIS BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT TO CELEBRATE MY DAY!!! Oh and they kept bringing out various small plates to clean your palates. And finished it off with strawberry macaroons. DELICIOUS!!!!! Thank you so much for treating us like royalty!!! I highly recommend Gracie's!!! Please go and experience this beautiful place. read more

Attended a wedding reception held at Gracie's. The food was amazing. I don't think there was anything I didn't like. The size of the venue was better suited to an office party or a smaller gathering than a wedding reception. Otherwise it was a great space. read more

Too often nowadays I feel like people have become complacent with the fast-casual dining experience that so often permeates modern restaurant culture. We're in and out of a restaurant in a flash, after we've watched our meal prepared assembly-line style and packaged to go. Not that I don't enjoy the occasional jaunt to Chipotle or Sweetgreen, but there's a time and a place for everything. And Gracie's, a breath of fresh air in the Providence dining scene, provides the complete antithesis to all of those hurried lunches and dinners. It's a truly fine dining experience from start to finish, with craft cocktails prepared exquisitely to order, warm artisanal bread and fresh whipped butter doled out by attentive servers between courses, and stunning epicurean cuisine that I'm still raving about days later to anyone that will listen. We were very generously treated to the seven course tasting menu with wine pairings as part of our company Holiday Party. Shortly after being seated in the gorgeous and duskily lit dining room, we were offered homemade bread: a light and flaky brioche roll, tender cornbread, and a thick and hearty pepita seed bread. All were amazing, but extra plaudits to the dinner roll, which managed to be savory and sweet, without any of the usual heaviness one would come to expect. Slathered with creamy butter, which was cheekily presented on a rock, it was the ultimate indulgence even before the first course appeared. And if I thought the bread was amazing, boy, was I in for a treat! We started off the meal with an amuse bouche of kabocha squash and mustard, the grains providing a nice bite of texture to the tender squash. Next, we had a tuna crudo with an apple foam, which was a beautiful and light start to the heavier courses to follow. The pasta course was stunning, a delicious and succulent lamb bolognese over homemade pasta. I wish the portion was larger - I would have been happy with this alone and the bread! The scallops that followed were perfectly cooked and not at all rubbery like many other restaurant incarnations I've had. The real standout of the scallop course, though, was the lardons of house made bacon, thick and crispy to complement the briny scallop. My favorite course was the Hudson Valley Foie Gras, which was paired with a Newport Vineyard Ice Wine. The wine was very light and sweet, and provided a great accompaniment to the creamy foie gras and gingerbread croutons. It was a fascinating dish, combining dessert flavors with the meatiness of the foie gras. Truly memorable. A juicy squab marinated in au jus was the main course. The servers encouraged us to eat the bone-in parts with our hands after we'd gingerly and politely cut the breast sections, and we dug in happily! It was kind of funny, the contrast between the rustic preparation of squab and the very fine dining environment we found ourselves in. Nonetheless, it was incredible. The meal concluded with sweet courses - a cheese plate with seasonal jams and local honey, a moist and addictive gingerbread pudding with homemade chicory ice cream, and petite mignardises to cap off a wonderful meal. Extra shout out for the citrus spritz cookies - I am going to head over to Ellie's Bakery, which the owners of Gracie's also own, to get a few of those the next time I'm in town. This was truly a memorable and special dining experience. My company runs food tours in Newport and Providence, so this was the perfect outing. The service was friendly, prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. Sarah, Gabriel, and Mark served our table, and were excellent with explaining everything from each course's elements to the histories of the wine pairings. I would highly recommend requesting these servers if you have the chance to dine here. While I had never been here before, but always looked wistfully through the window as I walked by, I am so happy that I had the opportunity to have a meal here, and I will be returning very soon! read more

LOVE Gracie's! It's our favorite fine-dining restaurant in Rhode Island. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a special meal experience. We did the seven course menu with wine pairing. Everything was delicious! We can't wait to go back again for our Anniversary coming up soon! read more

Gracie's is an absolutely wonderful restaurant. From the little touches like a more private booth and a handwritten card for dining during an anniversary, to the incredible food, to the brilliant wine pairings and service (shout-out to Caroline for teaching us more about wines than we had ever known before), we will definitely be coming back year after year! read more

Had an excellent time at Gracie's. This is a great spot to go for a special occasion or a nice date. Don't let the pictures fool you, there give you a good amount quantity wise. I highly recommend the multi-course meals because you get a nice appetizer, main course(s) and dessert. Service is professional and timely. Overall, this is a good spot to try at least once and likely multiple times. read more

Clean and classy ambiance with thoughtfully placed candles and artwork. We had a reservation for the seven course tasting menu, and it took 30 minutes for us to be seated and served a drink. The wait staff were mostly attentive, though one dish was dropped by with no explanation. If I could try the experience over again, I would skip the tasting menu and order the gnocchi, cod loin, and espresso semifreddo. read more

Honestly? I sort of have NO WORDS for how good this meal was. My boyfriend took me there for a Chef's tasting menu and . . . every. single. detail. was perfection. The Foie Gras (which I'd never had before) was outstanding . . . the service, the experience, the ambiance, just 5-star all the way if you have the money to spend as it's a pricier restaurant - for a reason. I typically write longer reviews but, perfection - just perfection. This wasn't just "good food, good service" - this was a dining experience not to be missed. read more

My favorite restaurant! Just wish they were open more. But anything on the menu is to die for, and the prices aren't bad , and are worth every penny. The staff is also super polite and professional read more

I know. I know. 3 stars? So, we've been wanting to go to Gracie's for years now. We finally made a reservation as it was my mother in laws big 60th! Ambience was nice. Staff was pleasant. Although we had a server come out who said he'd be serving us but then disappeared. Another server came out and said he'd be "helping", but he turned out to be our server for the rest of the night. Complimentary zucchini salad was ok. I wish it had been colder. We decided to get a few apps to share. We got the lamb, octopus, cucumber and tomato salad and foie gras. Everything was good, not amazing. I got the pork loin, which was ok. Nothing out of this world. The hubby got the rigatoni, which everyone really really liked. Scallops, sword fish and duck were said to be good, but again, nothing was amazing. The food was pricey, which we expected. But we also expected to be blown away by the experience and the food. Did not happen. I wish I could say that I would be back, but honesty, it wouldn't be worth it. There are other restaurants in Providence with this same menu style that are just much more worth it for us. Glad we finally went though. read more

Definitely going back! Best service I've ever had. My boyfriend had made a reservation prior to our visit and had informed them that it would be for a birthday. When we walked in the hostess immediately sat us at a booth, where the table was decorated with confetti and a handwritten card. We were both given a glass of champagne, on the house, and every single staff member that passed by made sure to wish me a "happy birthday." Now for the food. We initially heard that the bread here was good. Let me tell you.. it is. Their gnocchi was pretty good also but their duck.. was exquisite. Best duck I've ever had. The seasoning was just right and the meat was cooked to a perfection. I also had the three course dessert and every single one was delicious and beautiful. They even put in a lit birthday candle for my last dessert. Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday dinner! Shoutout to our server Jesse you're the real MVP! read more

Gracie's - They prepared our table with confetti and a handwritten card! - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

We visit Gracie's often and for the most part, the food is great. I enjoy their house made bread and butter and if you're gluten free, they have a delicious, nutty option. They have some amazing bottles of wine here too and the servers are always well versed in what to recommend. Some of my favorite meals are the charred shishito peppers, zucchini blossoms, scallops and sea bass. I stick to seafood options and I usually find something good. There are plenty of choices for those that eat everything, too. One evening, we sat at the bar and didn't have a great experience. I received a chicken dish after explaining that I'm pescatarian, then my meal took a long time to come out but the bar tender was busy chatting with someone, seemingly unfazed about it. The replacement dish was a bowl of tasteless, sautéed legumes with old tasting tomatoes. The entire experience wasn't great but lesson learned, we only sit in the restaurant now. The quality and service are consistently great. Host and hostesses are friendly and efficient. The servers in the main restaurant are skilled, methodical and attentive. Dessert is my favorite part of the meal and Gracie's are usually delicious and unique. Try their goat cheesecake, brown butter corn cake, house made ice cream! So good! read more

Providence has many great dining establishments, but Gracie's is the greatest of them all. The interior is beautiful, the service is friendly without being overbearing, and the food is phenomenal. You can't ask for anything more of a dining experience. If you will be in Providence for one day and can splurge on a meal, you need to visit Gracie's. Highlights: -Hudson Valley foie gras. Rich and creamy without being nauseating -Bomster Sea Scallop. The scallops were so fresh and perfectly cooked. The flavor and texture were absolutely perfect -Crème Brûlée. It cracks perfectly. It's also substantial enough to be shared Skip: -Crescent Farms Duck. Don't get me wrong. The duck was good, but for what Gracie's was able to do with all of the other ingredients, I expected more from the duck. It was good but didn't live up to the duck's potential We also managed to snag some leftover bakery goods on our way out, and those treats were delicious too! read more

Arriving from NYC in two carloads of guys celebrating our friend's 30th birthday last Friday, I was charged with quickly finding an acceptable place for the big dinner on Saturday. Requirements from the birthday boy included a classy atmosphere, not too big a hit on the wallet, not dressy (we basically only came with t-shirts), and upscale cuisine. Oh and yummy bone marrow! Searching Yelp for "bone marrow"...besides a bunch of transplant doctors, Gracie's name popped up. Who knew? The menu didn't include bone marrow, but the great looking Yelp photos and an open reservation at 9:30 sealed the deal. We just hoped Gracie's would look past our t-shirts since Yelp Dress said "Dressy." Luckily Gracie's let their dress code standards slack for us, possibly due to our beautiful glowstick necklaces but more likely because the Rhode Island Pride Parade complete with Dorothy, the witches, Rocky Horror, zombies and half-naked leathermen was marching right past their windows. Gracie's real deal is the $40 prix fixe, 3-course dinner, basically select choices from their main menu. My first course sherry roasted beet salad with blood orange vinaigrette and second course Crescent Farms duck were both excellent! While I usually don't like too much salt on my food, the duck had a nice salty balance from the perfectly rendered roast skin, offset by the medium rare meat, red quinoa and slightly bitter baby white radishes. Awesome and highly recommended! The creme brûlée was from creamy Madagascar vanilla beans. So delicious. Gracie's has a great wine list in a wide range of prices. I selected a bottle of Chapellet Vineyards' Cervantes Mountain Curvee, Napa Valley 2011. The red wine blend was terrific with dinner. Service was on the money and well paced. Our waitress was personable and the bussers were numerous and quick. All the wait staff looked like they were attending college or just graduated, and seemed to be well trained in customer service. A busser didn't know the answer to one of our questions regarding what we just ate, and he came back from the kitchen with a thorough answer. Thanks to Gracie's our Birthday boy had one surprise candle on his dessert, was happy and full. We were all highly satisfied. When we come back to Providence, I'm sure Gracie's will once again be on our itinerary. read more

Our friend decided to have his 30th birthday in Providence, Rhode Island. Incidentally, the city was celebrating their LGBTQ pride week as well. Having a 4.5 star rating on Yelp, we unanimously agreed to booked at Gracie's. It's somewhat dressy but the ambiance is cozy. The tables are set far enough apart from other tables for everyone to enjoy their intimate dining. We decided to go for the 3 course prix fixe dinner. We started of with a bottle of 2010 mountain cuvée, they served it together with an Amuse-Bouche of arugula, rhubarb, goat cheese pesto with wildflowers and pine nuts. I chose russet potato gnocchi as my appetizer; it's a braised rabbit, fava beans, black trumpet mushrooms and pecorino. I found it very filling and piquant. A mouthwatering raspberry sorbet was served as intermezzo to clean our palette. My main entrée was the crescent farms duck with red quinoa, turnip, fiddlehead ferns, green strawberry and rhubarb. The serving was ample and it was cooked to perfection. My dessert selection of yogurt panna cotta; rhubarb, fennel meringue, cornbread and orange thyme gelato was simply epicurean. The waiter bought some delicious macaroons with the bill to seal our lovely dinner. It's not very often that I experienced great customer service together with great food. This place is highly recommended. read more

Gracie's is perhaps the best meal I've had in Providence. The menu at Gracie's offers several options. Dishes are offered a la carte or as part of a prix fixe meal. Additionally, guests can choose to partake in a blind five course tasting. Although many of the regular menu items sounded appealing, we decided to go for the gold and opt for the mysterious tasting. We started with a delicious truffled egg salad amuse bouche. I could have eaten it all day long in sandwiches and by the spoonful... Mmmmm... Our first course of the tasting was a crudo of wild striped bass. It was very light and fresh in flavor and I nice was to start our meal. The pasta course featured a large raviolo filled with country-style pate. It was rustic and meaty and was garnished with crunchy fiddlehead ferns, fava beans, trumpet mushrooms, and aged provolone. It was beautifully presented and delicious. Our fish course started off scary and turned into spectacular. We were served pan-fried soft shell crabs, which my dining companions had a weird and unpleasant history with. We were pleasantly surprised to discover how fantastic this dish was. In fact, it quickly became our favorite of the meal! An intermezzo of sorbet was a perfect palate cleanser... A rare double rack lamb chop was our meat course, and provided a delicious alternative to beef at this point in the meal. It was served with silky carrot puree and confit baby carrots, along with crispy artichokes and English peas. This was another fast favorite. We were definitely impressed. Dessert was their version of tres leches cake. It was tasty and light, with small pearls of mango. Although I enjoyed this, it wasn't quite as spectacular as desserts I have tried in other award-winning restaurants. Overall, we enjoyed it though. A final touch with a few French macarons with our check was appreciated, as was the baggy of chocolate chip cookies left in our car by the valet. Service was on par with the wonderful food, and I'm happy to say I've found my new favorite special-occasion spot in Providence. Thank you so much Gracie's for opening my eyes to a new world of delicious dining. I can't wait to go back! read more

Went for the tasting menu over the summer with a friend. Server was OUTSTANDING, she was fun and helpful with wine recommendations. White gazpacho was so amazing I thought about it for days. They accommodated my food preferences very well. read more

For better or worse, Gracie's is Providence's sole high-end fine dining restaurant. While there are several great "white tablecloth" meals in Providence, Gracie's is the only restaurant in the city offering a comprehensive tasting menu with premium wine pairings, and the only restaurant in Providence to be awarded 4 Diamonds or more by AAA. As one would expect, the food and wines are very good. I ordered the 9-course tasting with wine pairings and I was impressed by the diversity of plates served to me, none of which were listed on Gracie's other menus. The highlight for me was the peppery "Venison" topped with poached beef bone marrow, served with a broccoli covered in a sticky parmesan butter foundue -- a revelatory sauce. I also enjoyed the multiple seasonal desserts, including the "Banana Cake with Brown Butter Ice Cream" and the "Ginger Cake." Pairings were on-point, and the "Domaine Pierre Gelin Fixin" Burgundy was the highlight of many fantastic wines. Service was good, as you'd expect -- though perhaps not at the same level of polish as you'd get in similarly-priced venues in Boston, New York, or even nearby Newport. Here, the damage will be $125 per person for the 9-course tasting, plus $65 per person for the wine pairing, plus 8% combined state and municipal taxes, plus tip. It seems this restaurant serves two masters: a serious dining crowd that is here for dégustations, and a more casual crowd here that will order chicken and potato dishes, brought in because they've read that "Gracie's is AMAZING!" (thanks, Yelp!) While most dishes were decent-to-great, there was nothing fantastically creative done here, and there were some clear misses. The "Duck-Fat Cornbread" bread selection was plain. The "Yellowtail Tuna Crudo" was a touch too fishy for a straightforward raw hamachi dish -- I questioned how long it had been sitting around thawed. Additionally, some bites of the yellowtail dish were too salty, and others not salted at all. Not a favorite. While the "Hudson Valley Foie Gras" dish excited me when I read it on the menu, I personally dislike foie gras served "en torchon," as it is here. Unless you're doing something very clever (like making foie gras gravy or sauces or foams), I believe it to be a waste to not pan-sear foie gras, but that's personal preference. Or maybe this dish stuck out to me in a negative way because I did not particularly care for how they handled it here. The printed tasting menu had two errors, as they substituted Wagyu beef with Venison and Black Bass with Halibut. While not the worst screw-up that's happened in a restaurant, it did give me the sense that I was cheated a bit, since one can argue that the items replaced are higher-end items than what they were replaced with. My final quibble is that the lighting here is too dark. I was here for the food and could barely discern what was on my plate. For the kitchen to come up with such elaborate platings and for diners to not be able to see them is a shame. I can understand the "intimate-lit" atmosphere the restaurant is trying to create, but it is not food-friendly. While far from the best tasting I had last year, I enjoyed my meal at Gracie's enough that I'm not upset at myself for coming here. I doubt I'll be back though, as the value simply isn't here for an experience that has material flaws. In the same price range, "The Spiced Pear" in Newport, the "Dining Room at Castle Hill Inn" in Newport, and Jennifer Backman's "COAST" in Westerly deliver a superior and more innovative 4-Diamond dégustation experience.

Gracie's sure does know how to throw a party. I have been here twice for private parties. The first time, I was impressed by everything. The second time, I was BLOWN AWAY and I think I fell in love a little. The contact for the arrangements was present when we arrived to let the hosts of the party know she would be available as needed. She didn't hover and would peek into the room on occasion, just to be sure we were happy. WE WERE HAPPY! We had a private room downstairs which was very roomy for the 12 people in our party. The one gentleman that was dedicated to serve us throughout the night including the open bar option we had. Don't fill up on empty calorie drinks as tasty as they might be, because you will want to be sure you have room and a clean palette for the incredible food. There was a beautiful cheese and bread/cracker arrangement that was on the counter of the bar that was quite large and I don't think we were able to make a dent in it. After the final guest arrived, friendly attendants appeared with hors d'oeuvres. Pleasantly offered and they were graceful as they worked their way around to everyone. With each treat a cocktail napkin and the offer to take away the refuse we may have been holding from the previous hor d'oeuvres. The selections of hor d'oeuvres were: Pork Belly Profiteroles, Bacon Wrapped Scallops. YUM to both! AND looked so lovely on the trays. The table setting was simple and elegant. All of the place settings were identical and "by the book". A custom pre fixe menu was placed with each setting. The menus were customized with our guests of honors names on it with a cute happy birthday ribbon. Nice touch. The tables were arranged in a large square which made the conversation so much easier. Most places set a long rectangle table which doesn't allow for conversation with everyone. Two attendants took orders and once then disappeared to submit our selections for prep. One attendant reappeared at our table with a basket of bread. There were 3 different kinds to choose from; a focaccia, raisin fennel bread and plain focaccia. The second attendant then began placing the containers of whipped butter on the table as we were selecting our bread. The breads were fresh and flavorful, including the plain. Delicious. LET THE CHOREOGRAPHED SERVICE BEGIN! This was amazing and would make anyone enjoy their experience that much more. Our first course was about to be served...All of a second 6 servers appear each holding two dishes, one in each hand. Each looked around and waited for the others to be in place. With a nod and a smile they placed the first dish in front of us from the right side of course and gracefully shifted the other plate to their right hand and placed it from the right. STUNNING! They did this with every course...this is where I started to fall in love. First Course Selections: 1. Peach and Tomato Salad- Stracciatella cheese, shaved radish, aged balsamic, garden herbs and flowers; 2. Russet Potato Gnocchi (this is what I chose and I am so glad I did) - Rhode Island mushrooms, brown butter, Mandarone Provolone, Deb's pea greens; 3. Hudson Valley Foie Gras (one of the "known for" dishes) - with blueberry, toasted almond, lemon curd, cornbread. Once we finished this dish - amuse bouche! Radish with a flowered dollop of butter - simple but tasty. Second Course Selections: 1. Chicken Ballontine - Summer Squash, glazed Cippolini, artichokes baragoule, sauce romesco; 2. Crescent Farms Duck (which I selected because Great Duck is hard to find) - with blue cheese potato croquettes (melt in your mouth delicious), baby fennel (meh), glazed onions, Bing cherry; 3. All Natural Filet of Beef (I tried a piece from one of the guests of honor and it was the best I have ever had, and I have had a lot of filets in my life) - with Yukon potato puree, parmesan pine nut spinach, slow-cooked red onion marmalade, sauce Bordelaise..Yes I was regretting I didn't select this dish; 4. Bomster Sea Scallops - with confit baby carrots, garden kale, black garlic soubise, golden raisin gastrique. AMUSE BOUCHE - Raspberry and Thyme Sorbet - REFRESHING! Third Course Selections (I did manage to try all three because I am a dessert hog and I am sneaky - ALL were stunning in taste and presentation) : 1. Flourless Chocolate Almond Torte - roasted black plum, candied almonds, lavender honey gelato; 2. Lemon Tart - beach rose jam, toasted meringue, berries, honeysuckle ricotta ice cream; 3. Dark Chocolate Cremeux - peach tea cake, chocolate-cherry nougat, Rooibus frozen yogurt The night was one to remember - the bar has been set high for all future dinner parties! I highly recommend this restaurant for a private party. There is minimum number people and/or minimum cost. For this party, minimum cost was $1200 - I would say, without alcohol it is about $100 per person and worth every penny! Thank you Gracie's and our hosts for a wonderful evening. read more

I can't give Gracie's anything other than five stars. I had been wanting to dine here, or dreaming of dining here, for a while. Finally went with some friends during restaurant week... And had an amazing meal. I got the russet potato gnocchi, the duck, and the chocolate banana cake. For starters the gnocchi was delicious, and the Brussel sprouts had a nice crispy outer layer - which is my favorite. They were so delicate, my friend described them as little pillows. Then the duck. Which came with rice and squash cubes. It was the most delicious duck I have ever had. I shared my sisters swordfish and was so full, I was able to take some of my duck home as leftovers. I hate saying this, but, nom nom nom. I will be dreaming of that for some time. The dessert was honestly not my favorite. The ice cream was great, and the brittle was delicious. The cake overall just was too dense for me. But, I was beyond full so it didn't really bother me. The creme brûlée that my friend got was massive, and super tasty (I tried some). And the other dessert option - some sort of bread pudding was also delicious. Then there were the two great little surprise tastings between courses. One was a little mortadella something or other, and then there was a cranberry ginger sorbet. Both were great, but the cranberry ginger sorbet was so cleansing and refreshing. I love surprises! Only downfall- one member of our party got their early and checked in. She went to grab a drink at the bar - which had people dining at it, so it was kind of awkward standing there. When my sister and I got there we decided to check if our table was ready - and it was- and the hostess told us somebody had already checked in - which we knew from joining her at the bar. Since we had a reservation, and our table was ready, it would've been nice to sit and order a drink instead of awkwardly trying to get a drink at the bar. Then, we sat for 20 minutes before we got a wine menu and someone to take our drink order. Aside from the wait for drinks, service was pretty good. Oh, and the valet gave me a cookie even though I didn't use valet. Thanks man! read more

We celebrated our anniversary at Gracie's with an outstanding meal. Complex, delicious beet salad. Way better than others in PVD. Our duck entree was tender and superb. The scallops were the best yet. Great service, nice extras. Only wish they still had valet parking. Not easy to find a spot. Will Uber next time. read more

The appetizer Russet Potato Gnocchi stole the show! Excellent dish! I ordered the "Painted Hills Ribeye rissole potatoes, maitake tempura, pearl onion confit, wasabi arugula, bordelaise" The steak was tougher than expected with little to no marbling, nice fat strip along the edge, but was cooked slightly over medium rare (over my requested M/R) but was still very good. The maitake tempura mushrooms were an interesting touch, but I'd prefer no tempura to compliment the steak as the maitakes have such great flavor when sautéed. Confit onions were delicious but didn't taste like onions. They paired well with the steak but more like a braised golden raisin. Wasabi arugula initially scared me (I dislike wasabi) but after learning it was a type of arugula, I was intrigued. Never had it before but looked more like frisée on the plate. Guessing because of the bordelaise, they recommend a Bordeaux; wine pairing worked!! Service was excellent and I enjoyed the whole experience! read more

pricey but service and food worth it for special occasions. Have dined here a few times and never disappointed.

Although nothing on the menu really caught my eye, the execution of every course was simply spectacular alongside superb service. After throwing in the best complimentary artisan cheese-plate with a set of descriptions too long and fancy for my commoner brain to process, a perfectly-baked eggnog macaron to further satisfy my sweet tooth, and lastly an adorable thank you card offering me free drinks for the next visit... Gracie's had me completely head over heels, and I just wanted to put a ring on it. read more

See all

Went to Gracie's for my wife's birthday. It was fantastic. They started us off with a complementary champagne toast for her birthday. We had the five course tasting menu. Every course (even the bread and palate cleanser- which didn't count as courses) were fantastic. The service was also great and the interior was very nice. Definitely pricey, but I highly recommend Gracie's. read more

Underwhelming to say the least. Atmosphere and decor was very cheap considering your fine dining and paying a decent amount for an experience. Food was just okay. Waitstaff lingered our table the whole time. read more

Went to Gracie's to ring in the New Year and was surprisingly disappointed. For starters, they seated us in the basement without warning. Part of the reason you go out to dinner on New Year's Eve is because you want to be surrounded by the jovial spirit of everyone around you. Had I wanted to eat in solitude, I would have stayed home. We ordered the 9 course tasting menu. About 5 hours in, there were still 3 courses left to be served. Then, the progression was screwed up when they brought our dessert course out before the cheese course. When we mentioned it to the guys who drop the food, they just completely ignored it and left. Our server was apologetic about it but by then it was too late. The service overall left a lot to be desired. The second course, they placed the wrong option in front of me, when I said something, the guy looked at me like that was somehow my error. Luckily, we realized that someone else at our table had gotten the dish intended for me and we switched it out. Then, we ordered 2 drinks later in the service and were served 4! Again, when we mentioned that wasn't correct, the person dropping the drinks replied, "well, that's what the ticket says!" What kind of response is that?! Overall, I expected more. The savory dishes were delicious. The sweets were way too sweet, however. The progression was slow. The service was lacking, and the ambience was completely flat for what was supposed to be an indulgent New Year's Eve experience. Also weird, there was live music all night but it stopped at 11:40PM and then there was no countdown! We got home and went straight for the cheese course which had been wrapped up for us. To say it was laughable is quite the understatement. Picture attached. When you're paying top dollar, you expect top notch service. That was just completely missing. read more

My husband and I went to Gracie's last night for dinner after we saw Jagged Little Pill. This place was recommended to us as we live in Milton Massachusetts. I was very disappointed. We were flying high in terms of our mood because of the great show we had seen. The minute we walked into Gracie's we noticed that the atmosphere was flat And stand of fish! We had a 530 reservation and wanted to sit at the bar. I was followed to the bar and told I needed a reservation to sit there. I told the hostess we were having dinner there and she agreed, in a less than happy way to let us have a drink there until then. (The bartender told us, there were no reservations for our seat. So why were we treated as if there was.). We got a less than friendly and accommodating feel from the start. For such a beautiful but pricey restaurant-Gracie's hostesses need to realize first impressions are very important. We won't go back. To be fair, the food was very good, and our waitress Caroline was great and very sweet. However, the 20 percent up charge to share with the entire staff-and then in small print it says-that's not the the tip, by the way, is crazy. Wow. Also the restroom near our table was out of service. The hostess said the door lock was broken a few days earlier. I had to go down 2 flights of stairs to use their other restroom. read more

The menu selections right now are pretty dull. We wished we had looked them up before coming in. Nothing we couldn't make at home and we could get local 10oz steaks for far less than $50 so didn't feel there was any bang-for-the-buck. Been coming to Gracie's since 2005, so we are routing for them, but we won't return until the menu shows some effort. read more
