The new space offers a cozy wine room, a stunning private dining room and greater seating capacity. Although Gracie’s has grown in size it remains true to it’s mission -- to create a warm environment, and to surprise, excite and educate the palate.

"I think this is my 3rd visit and again everything was wonderful. There were 4 of us and it is always so neat to see 4 waitstaff persons descend to place places for everyone at the table all at once. I had Black Bass and it was terrific. The new JWU Culinary School graduate had the steak and he was working hard to finish it - it was huge."

"We had the 7 course tasting menu and loved each one. The pairing of the foie gras with grilled apricot was perfect and the soft shell crab was crispy on the outside while remaining succulent inside. The lamb was buttery and melt in your mouth. Service was smooth and attentive without being intrusive. There were a couple times when we started to wonder where the next course was but then there they'd come. A great choice for special occasions but you need to make a reservation early."

"My family and I came in for graduation dinner on Sunday 5/18. Everything was outstanding. The table received a complementary toast with a splash of bubbly upon arrival. 2 members in the party made modifications to their entrees, & the kitchen, as well as Eric out server, were more than accommodating. The wine list is reasonably priced, & has a very nice, well organized selection. Our service team was awesome; never skipped a beat, & made the evening a very memorable experience. This was the perfect way to say goodbye to Providence. My ONLY, & I mean only, complaint is that I wish the vegetable course was bigger; it was delicious & beautiful, but smaller than expected- BUT the foie gras was the biggest piece of foie that I've ever seen"

"We went to Gracie's for a before theater dinner. Although the theater experiecne was forgetable the dinner at Gracie's was excellant. We enjoyed our time there and they did everything they could to make it an enjoyable experience for us.
The place was not crowded in the earlier part of our time but even when it filled up the noise level was excellant. We did speak to the table to our side but it was a pleasant experience and not intrusive for either of us."

"We are very conflicted about our visit. We've had their food before (via their caterings) and were always impressed. We live an hour away, so when seeing a show at the PPAC, we just had to go! Our server was very attentive to our needs and time constraints. He recommended the 5 course menu for timing. We also did the wine pairings. The food was good. I didn't need to have microgreens on every plate, though they were always present. The wine was paired well. Dessert was disappointing (corn bread, really?). We ate everything and left a little hungry. Dinner was paced nicely, but the constant barrage of servers was distracting. It was good, but not memorable. We expected to be wowed and left somewhat disappointed."

"Truly, I expected more. There was lots of show, but not much go when it came to the food itself. It was adequate fare, but should have been better and more carefully prepared, treated with more of a chef's hand if you will instead of a line cook. The courses came erratically I thought, and the over-solicitous wait staff did not deliver on the real service. More smiley in your face than knowledgeable and attentive. The wine pours with the Chet's menu were miserly and small, I felt shorted on that account, perhaps even more acutely than the 'good' food. It was good, but not really good, and did not justify the pricing. It is a pleasant atmosphere though."

"Overall very nice place. Food was great. Service was also very good. The only disappointing thing was that they have a pri fix menu or a tasting menu option which was interesting and intriquing, however the server after explaining the menu failed to mention that if someone in your party want to choose a tasting all members must choose a tasting. I get it from a timing standpoint however 2 members were interested in the tasting and 2 were not so they had to rethink their options after already looking forward to their choice."

"The food was amazing, the waiter was great and the atmosphere is fun and special. We ordered the 5 course tasting menu which was outstanding. Our only issue was with our reservation. We arrived on time for our 8 p.m. reservation and were told our table wasn't ready yet and to go to the bar. We enjoyed a glass of wine and waited. And waited. We finally asked what the status was on our table and were told that somehow another party took our table when they "couldn't find us." I am not sure how they couldn't find us when we were seated in the middle of the bar we were told to sit at. Regardless, they found us a table at 9:30, and picked up the tab for our bar bill. Not happy about the late meal, but would try again for the great food."

"Awesome blending of flavors I would not think to try on my own. The 5 course was outstanding! Stepped slightly outside of my comfort zone in allowing the chefs to choose our dishes, but it was well worth it. A+"

"Had a great evening - servers were attentive and personable, food was excellent, just not much of it. If you're looking for the un-steakhouse, this is it! Seafood, duck, and shellfish were all perfectly done. All in our party ordered desserts due to the small portions, only to find that the desserts were equally tiny. Plan to head over to Pastiche for a real dessert after dining and you'll be pleased."

"The food is great at Gracie's. and the wait staff is friendly and nice. But in our party of four, three of the our drinks arrived much later than the first one. The waitress wanted to take our order before the rest had arrived. And we had a similar problem at desert where one person waited. And waited. Otherwise, a great place! We will go back. This may have been an off nite."

"Very stylish restaurant, obviously popular with a well-dressed crowd. Service was excellent from the welcome, to seating, explaining the menu and how it works, to putting food on the table. We were pressed for time since we had a show to go to and the staff were aware of that and responded accordingly. The food was very well prepared and presented. A parsnip soup appetizer was quite novel and outstanding. My steak and my wife's duck were superbly cooked. We will be back whenever we return to Providence from Cape Cod."

"I can't say enough about this restaurant. I booked a reservation online based on reviews from tripadvisor. I must say that the experience did not disappoint. I was looking for a place that was romantic since I wanted to treat my girlfriend to a well-deserved date night in town. Right from the start I was impressed with the attention to detail. The staff had taken the time to delicately ornate the table with silver stars. In addition, we were greeted by a series of waitstaff that were both knowledgable of the product and enthusiastic about describing the choices on the new menu."

"Gracie's is one of those special occassion places where you go to for a little romance and a splurge. Between the specialty food items and the special treats you feel special when you go there. Because of the prices it is reserved for special occassions only."

"We always like Gracie's for a special occasion. The food is a combination of many unusual ingredients presented in an artistic manner. There are a variety of entrees that are unique to this restaurant like rabbit with gourmet accompaniments. The apricot with white chocolate bread pudding with honey and a pistachio sauce was disappointing. To me it lacked taste and was very dry. The ginger ice cream with it made up for the not so tasty bread pudding. If you want to experience some gourmet food, this is the place to go."

"My favorite restaurant. Food is delicious. Loved the pineapple-hibiscus sorbet between courses. Only problem is that the menu hasn't changed much since the fall. I'd love to do the tasting menu - which has more spring items on it, but my companion didn't want to do that. Tried the new Night Shades drink - which was delicious - but quite spicy. Service is great although I felt a little rushed. Also the tables are so close that you can't avoid feeling in the middle of several conversations. Will go back because the food is so amazing."

"In my two years in Providence, I've tried to visit every major restaurant with a reputation for excellence. Of the places I've tried, Gracie's was not only one of the best, but managed the rare feat of actually being better than it's been billed.
The duck neck confit was succulent, the fois gras was delicious and very well balanced with a marmalade crustini. Both our entrees, the duck and the rabbit, were tremendously balanced. Everything was cooked to perfection, lightly crisp, and featured the meats excellently. Desert was solid, not amazing, though we actually got a second helping accidentally.
The drinks were phenomenal, Keith is an absolute master.
Overall, I would recommend it to anyone despite the price."

"This may be the best meal I've ever had. The food was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, by enthusiatic, well informed, personable staff. The menu was inventive and provided three different options for ordering and pricing; a la carte, price fixed and chef's choice.The elegant ambience is romantically candle lit with a sense of intimacy yet allowing generous spacing between tables. If all of this was not wonderful enough, when we retrieved our car from valet parking, there were two delicious cookies left on the seat for us. I cannot wait to return."

"My first visit and was thoroughly impressed. Who would have thought that parsnip soup could be so enjoyable? You could see that attention is paid to everything, even the fingerling potatoes had been oven-roasted before being added to the sauce with my baked cod. Flavors were full but not overbearing. Had heard good things about Gracie's and happy we decided to try it. Will go back."

"Had the five course meal, with all courses being a surprise, i.e. you don't know what's coming. Each course was excellent in terms of taste and originality (skate wing; squid ink pasta....). I wasn't prepared for the size of each course which was on the small side, but at the end of the meal I was full, so it's a mental thing more than anything. And the uniqueness and taste of each course outweighed the portion size in the end. I would order the five course meal again. My compliments to the chef."

"We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, and Gracie's made sure we were treated like royalty! Everyone who greeted us wished us Happy Anniversary, they elegantly bedazzled our table with table confetti, and started our dinner off with a complimentary glass of Cava. We chose the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings and it was outstanding - each bite was packed with flavor and the portions were perfect. I must have said, "I had such a great night" about 10 times between Gracie's and our hotel! I HIGHLY recommend dining here!"

"The food is top notch and well executed. The ingredients are all high quality. The flavors and textures are amazing. The service is impeccable. Our servers were well versed on the menu items, how things were prepared, and where these items came from. Very attentive. We went out with a party of 10 on a Friday night and all our courses were served timely and all our dishes came out at the same time. Great experience from beginning till end."
