About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
Brunch on Saturday and Sunday is primarily first come, first served. If you do not see the time you want available online, please call us directly.

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.

    Definitely over priced and over rated. Service was extremely slow and all of our entrees were over seasoned.

    A meal at Grace’s is always a pleasure, and of course …Yummy. My server, Alyssa B. was a pleasure, attentive and accommodating. Since I didn’t get by Grace’s during my birthday month of April, I still felt like the party was continuing 🤪 And… because the room was almost full, I didn’t feel alone‼️ Thank you. Go ahead Grace…DROP THE MIKE‼️‼️‼️

    Why are you able to make reservations for this restaurant if they do NOT accept reservations? This is very misleading to the customer. When we arrived for our 7:30PM reservation on 6/14, we were told that they do not accept reservations. The hostess informed us that the email reservation confirmation from open table clearly states that you will receive priority seating with an expedited wait. We were told the wait would be between 40-60 mins for our 7:30PM reservation. I was not pleased to say the least.
