Finally, a quiet restaurant! Marvelous ambience -- Gracie's would be a great place for a romantic dinner. We went with one other couple and found it easy to have quiet (and continuous!) conversations. The food was outstanding. Wonderful layers of flavor, great presentation and plating, and nicely timed and brought out at the same time by multiple servers. Our waitress ("Ash") was superb. Pleasant, knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. It's not a negative, but it does run on the expensive side. But worth every penny. We definitely will go again (soon and often).

We always get the Chef’s Tasting Menu because we get to sample foods we would not otherwise order. We were not disappointed last night. The staff was outstanding, as usual; knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Will go back again soon.

This was arguably one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. The staff and their approach to serving and explaining the food & wine pairings brings a dimension to the experience that cannot be over stated. The food was absolutely incredible, unique flavors and combinations that were satisfying beyond words. On top of this was such a unique approach to wine pairing that we were exposed to wines and tastes that we have never experienced before. The foods enhanced the wines and vice versa, it was a perfectly orchestrated symphony of flavors, smells and service. This restaurant and their entire staff is a gem.

Overall an outstanding experience that I would recommend to anyone that can afford it. We had the 7 course chef’s pick with wine pairing. The staff was exceptional, tending to our every need without being overbearing. Caroline was our primary server, with Eli helping out. But several others also pitched in, running food or clearing plates. Can’t wait to do it again!

I don't agree with the automatic TeamShare gratuity of 22%. That's a high % to automatically pay in case service is bad even for a party of 2. On top of that, they invite us to add tip over and above. Menu should be priced to cover the crew's wages.

We had a nice corner booth, and there were nice touches like an anniversary card, champagne toast, and the entire experience was top notch.

We had a good overall experience; our servers were excellent but we thought the cheese plate was a bit overpriced for the skimpy amounts of food and the brownie for dessert was dry and the rhubarb that was part of it was not a good match. We could overhear the people on either side of us quite easily and that affected our ability to have good conversation.

We went to Gracie’s because my son and his fiancé are having their wedding there next year. We had heard it was good…but it was more than good! The inside is romantic and tastefully decorated. The staff is incredible and the experience with them alone made it worth eating there. But then the food…was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. The cocktails are creative and yummy! While it is on the pricier side, it is well worth it! I would highly recommend Gracie’s as a place to go for a special event or if you just want your night out to be really above and beyond special!

Outstanding dinner. Enjoyed the Chef's 7-Course Tasting with Wine Pairings. Each course kept surpassing the previous one all the way until desserts. Wine pairings where well thought and paired great with its respective course. Service was superb, from Ben taking care of the table and explaining the wines and his passion for them, to the supporting staff always keeping an eye out for every little detail. Gracie's has become one of my favorite restaurants.

Highly recommended. We had the 7 course tasting with paired wines. Each course was creative, well balanced and delicious. The Tuna Crudo with Watermelon was a refreshing start. The Potato Gnocchi with Lamb Ragu was a decadent dish, the best of the evening. The Foie Gras with an Auslese pairing was magnificent. The wine pairings really enhance each course. The service was extraordinary! Ben was cordial, engaging and provided a wealth of information about the wine pairings. Great venue for a special occasion.
