I always love eating at Gracies. The atmosphere is very unique and the food is consistently good. Just kind of bummed that they are only open for weekend brunch now.

The salmon skillet was awesome! Ambience was excellent. Only issue was that one of our dishes did not arrive, and they poured a glass of wine instead of Port. Not sure how they got that wrong. But otherwise it was a nice experience.
