A word from Gracie's

Established in 1998, Gracie’s was founded with a vision to offer fine food and personal attention to all. Started on Providence’s Federal Hill, Gracie’s quickly outgrew its 30-seat location and moved to the Downcity Theater District in 2005. The new space offers a cozy wine room, a stunning private… dining room and greater seating capacity. Although Gracie’s has grown in size it remains true to it’s mission -- to create a warm environment, and to surprise, excite and educate the palate. Continued

"The food at Gracie's was phenomenal. My friends and I were restraining ourselves from licking our plates after every course. Go for the $35 pre fix menu where you get an app, entree and dessert - great deal. Very popular place with tightly scheduled reservations so we felt like we were rushed out of there when the check was dropped. Server actually came over and asked if there was something else she could get us (no, we're all set) ok she proceeded, then could she get our car from the valet... Kind of rude and we felt like we couldn't even finish up our coffee! Other than that, service throughout the meal was great and food for the price definitely makes us want to return to Gracie's again."

"This is the third time I've been to Gracie's. What's so amazing is that the menu has been significantly different each time. The chefs put a lot of work into seasonal changes. Last time I was there, the foie gras appetizer was out of this world. Of course I wanted it again, but they had made a change - instead of being savory, the preparation was sweet...jams, compotes, etc.

I skeptically ordered it, and wow! Fantastic.

I'm sure the remainder of the food we ate was also great, but I couldn't get that amazing foie out of my mind."

"Gracies is a wonderful place for a special occasion. We have gone for our anniversary, and a birthday. It's a bit pricey. But, worth it for a special occasion. Pre fixes are enjoyable, especially with the paring wines. The service can't be beat."

"We enjoyed our appetizer and entre very much but didn't care for the desert.
The service was strange, parts of it were good, parts sporatic. We had to ask if we could order a drink before dinner and felt rushed as our dinners came while we were still having drinks. I ordered a glass of wine with dinner and didn't get it until I was done with dinner. We had to wait a long time for someone to take our check (we had to get up and find someone.
The service did not fit the quality of the food."

"We had a wonderful meal, as always. The only snag in the the evening was that our reservation was for 8:15 and we were not seated until almost 9, and that was only after speaking to the hostess rather sternly. Once we were seated they gave us a complimentay cheese plate and liquers with our dessert. The service was wonderful and the food delicious. The only off note on the whole evening was the hostess, who seemed very uninterested in anything but refilling the votive candles."

"We went to Gracie's based on the reputation for the food and found not only was that well earned but the service was also impeccable. The food...amazing local ingredients prepared imaginatively and skillfully, the meal was one of the most memorable I've had. The gnocchi were light and well-seasoned and accompanied by a braised oxtail the reminded me why I love that so much. My bacon-wrapped monkfish was a pairing made in heaven. The service attentive and well orchestrated without being intrusive. One of the finest dining experiences I've ever had."

"Great food, service slow even though we told them we had theater 80 minutes after arriving. Price was very high, but food was exceptional. No bargains on the wine list"
