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.

I ordered a grilled pork chop. It was brined and pounded to 1/4 inch. Very tasty but overall it weighed About 6 ox. with the bone . Vegetables were average and tasty.. prices have have gone up significantly the past 3 months .. grilled Redfish was $50… I know redfish and pork loin are not that expensive when I pay retail prices. Businesses are trying to keep their profit margins up instead of holding the line and suffering a bit as we do..,Very sad state of the economy as business profits remain high and our wages are stagnant. Our server Kaitlyn was superb and attentive. We left her a 40% time which is an anomaly for us . Overall service and greeters get an A+ Music was way too loud and I feel an inappropriate choice for this type of a restaurant… so loud it interfered with table conversation😞

This was our first time to Grace's and the food was great. We had a 5 pm reservation and was curious why we were put into the bar area rather than the main dining room. While the service and food were excellent the noise level was a bit much. Next, we visit I will ask for the main dining room

The food is always delicious and the frozen mimosas and lemon drops are my absolute fave! I accidentally left my to-go box on the table and my server was so awesome, she set it aside for me. I came back 10 mins later and was so grateful for her! I can't remember her name but the service was wonderful.

We had Jamal. He wasn’t as attentive. We had to pour our own mimosa from the frozen pitcher we purchased. We’d ask for condiments and would take Jamal longer than it should have. He didn’t offer us basics when dropping the food off. He also didn’t know the menu options.

We never leave this place without the amazing baked potato dip and I have to have the tortilla soup - best in town! This time we decided to try the chocolate toffee cake! OH MY!!
