This was my third visit to Grace. Once again, I can only rave about this restaurant. The salmon was great. I particularly enjoyed the glazed brussel sprouts that came with it. The service could not have been better. Grace is a friendly, welcoming place with superb offerings from appetizers to desserts.
Grace at the CarnegieResponded on February 20, 2025
We are very proud of our salmon and the kitchen does a great job of preparing it. I am happy you had such a fantastic evening will us and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
