Enjoyed the combination of flavors. Definitely recommend looking at the menu beforehand to familiarize yourself with the ingredients and know your selections. The ambiance in the cushioned seat area and service was also very nice. Highly recommend the toffee pudding.
We had a great pre-theatre meal at Gracie's. The food was terrific. The wine list is extensive and Justin, the sommelier, is very helpful. Waitstaff were attentive and friendly.

6 of us celebrated my grandsons 21st birthday. We were given a choice of cava sparkling wine or sparkling cider to toast the birthday boy soon after we were seated. We proceeded to order al a crate and everything was delicious and served perfectly. My only complaint is the wine list is awfully pricey. Would like a few more choices under $60.

We enjoyed the five course tasting menu. Appetizer, entrees, dessert; nothing that we'd ever tried before and everything was absolutely delicious. The servers were as excited for us to try new dishes as we were. It was an absolutely delightful experience!

Came here for the first time for our anniversary. We're not fancy people, but this is cuisine made very approachable. We had the chef's tasting menu and there wasn't a dish I didn't like. My husband was making starry eyes over a parsnip!! Stellar food, service and atmosphere, worth every penny.

I hadn't been to Gracie's since before the Pandemic, and the food was even better than I'd remembered. My out-of-town friend and I both ordered the duck and agreed that it may have been the best we've ever eaten, and the scallops were also outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, and the whole experience one of my best in Providence, which is saying a lot!
Three couse dinner was fabulous: Beets and Boucheron appetizer was exceptional, then Rigatoni Campanaro for me and Crescent Farms Duck for my wife (both outstanding), and finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding! Service was perfection, and the ambience delightful. Thank you to everyone at Gracie's, and already looking forward to our next visit!

Overall, I felt the quality of the food did not justify the price tag (~$150 post tax + gratuity) for the 5 course prix. Most of the food was fine-great with highlights being the lamb gnocchi and the cranberry orange sorbet palate cleanser, however the tuna crudo to start the meal had a strongly acidic sauce, and the steak was overcooked. When I am paying this much for a meal, I am hoping that the food will be uniformly excellent and I should not be able to find large flaws in dishes. With the too-acidic, imbalanced crudo and the overcooked steak, I cannot recommend going out to eat at Gracie's at this price point.
Service was good. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were a little slow but not the end of the world. Menu felt smaller than in the past, would have enjoyed some more choices but it had plenty of things I was interested in. Gnocchi were a little burnt but I like a hard sear so it was ok. Duck was super disappointing. Would have helped to say it was a leg, I thought it was a breast. It was still good but just a huge difference between the two so would have been kind of them to write it on the menu. Desserts were all amazing.

The food was excellent... The wine pairing was very good but not as exceptional as the food. Our server was charming, professional and yet cordial and very knowlegeable. Represented the high end dining experience very well.

Place is going downhill. Waited 45 minutes for our table last weekend only to walk in to half full dining room? I mean. Smug, insincere host. Barely any bourbon. Old fashioned tasted terrible. Food was very good (though searing a piece foie gras isn't that difficult), but not as good as it used to be. Waiter was a nice kid, worked hard. Will find another high-end place.

The food was delicious. Limited number of beers. Cocktails were nice but like the beers- limited. We went in pre-show (730 at PPAC ). The 545 reservation was not adequate! Drinks took almost 30 minutes to bring out. Salads came out pretty quickly but dinners were served at 710! We had just about 10 minutes to literally throw down our meal. This was a bday celebration- so as the organizer I was stressed out most of the evening watching the time tick down. Gracie's is a popular pre-show restaurant so should be able to handle a table of 8 and get us to the show in 90 minutes. And then an automatic 22% service charge on the bill?!!! What? Is this a joke? Be warned.
