"Re quality of food; one dish ordered was great; other was okay...so gave it a good...just depends on what you order.
Cocktail was very good; wine was good. Had a great table with a wonderful view of the 'harbor'!; however given proximity
to our home, we won't go again, too far to drive for a 'good' dinner. Had a wonderful waiter!
Several large groups having dinner, restaurant is very accommodating for them.
Make a reservation if you plan to go!"

"I always ask for a window table. The view is wonderful especially if you catch the sunset. Service is courteous and fast, and the food presentation very pleasing to the eyes. Not too many children are around, but staff were very friendly towards my two (older) children."

"I loved the atmosphere!!!! The purse chair was cool. The server spoke very softly and it was really difficult to get her to speak up. Not alot of enthusiasm or suggestions for the meal. I had a salad which was pretty good but nothing special. My husband and I shared a crispy beef dish. It was too crispy. The beef was tough and the sauce overpowering. I seemed like it had been sitting in a warmer and was dished up as it was ordered. I doubt if I will try again or if I will suggest to my friends to try. I was really looking forward to the meal/experience and was very disappointed."

"This is my second time at Grace's Mandarin - both for a "special occasion." This time, it was very busy, but we were still seated in a reasonable time and given adequate service. The food was great, and I would definitely come back."

"Sushi and sashimi was overpriced and just okay. The ribs appetizer that was added recently to the menu were mostly fat and not worth the price. Service was attentive and large windows allow a nice view of the harbor."

"Enjoyed a wonderful meal overlooking the Potomac river. Staff was very friendly and efficient. We were asked several times if we were enjoying our meal. I had the most tender Filet Mignon I've had in a long time."
