When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.

She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food. These memories are realized when one walks into Johnny Carrabba’s new restaurant, Grace's.

Angelica was amazing. Very helpful. We sat on the patio and I wanted to ask to be moved inside because there was someone smoking next to the patio. There were a lot of flies out. If there was something in place to minimize that would've been great. My girlfriend visited for the first time from Dallas. Her visit to Grace's was a pleasant one.

I understand the need to provide more seating to accommodate for the Mother's Day and graduation crowd. However, you set up tables after I was seated that didn't provide enough room for people and servers to walk thru. I can't count how many times I was hit in the head by passer-by's. I had enough with the last party with the woman who had a purse that completely jolted me, and she didn't bother to say excuse me or I apologize. This made for a very disappointing experience at your restaurant.

Grace's is in the heart of the Upper Kirby / River Oaks district and attracts big business crowds during the week and families on the weekends. Make sure and get a reservation, as walk-ins are hit and miss. The food and service are top notch, so it's easy to see why it is so popular.

Lovely restaurant with high ceilings, beautiful light fixtures, furnishings. Bright, airy and open but still intimate due to the smaller interconnected dining rooms rather than a huge open space. Everything we ate was excellent. The cornbread was worth the trip by itself. Chicken tortilla soup wowed the guest who enjoyed it. She stated it was better than her own homemade soup. High praise! Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable wait staff. Our waiter, Drea, even gave helpful advice on the cocktail menu. She answered every question on the spot. We’ll be returning.

Grace’s has become a weekly dinner spot for us. I tried the Sweet Peach cocktail and it didn’t disappoint. Will definitely order it again. For our entree we ordered the Beef Tips and Rice. It was listed on the menu as a special. It was delicious and I hope that they decide to make it a regular menu item.
