"Grace by Nia, a chic supper club from restaurateur Nia Grace celebrating Black excellence. Expect plush teal seating, gold palm fronds overhead, and sweeping city views. Cocktails like the Unfashioned — Uncle Nearest 1884 whiskey, Amaro Nonino, brown sugar simple syrup, and Angostura bitters — pair wonderfully with soul food like blackened shrimp and cheddar polenta cakes in creamy tomato sauce, all accompanied by swinging live music from jazz to R&B to funk." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Yes, the Seaport has changed quite a bit over the years, with warehouses giving way to gleaming skyscrapers and glitzy shops. But we’ve also gotten spots like Grace By Nia, somewhere you can see live music, drink great cocktails, and share some solid food while listening to somebody play the saxophone. You’ll have to pay $25 to make a reservation near the stage, but that’s where you want to be for some first-rate R&B, jazz, and soul music—if you want a quiet dinner, this is not the place. The cocktails can be a little much (see: their espresso martini with gold flakes), but it’s sort of impossible not to have a good time here. Especially when digging into a cast-iron pan of Old Bay-heavy Maryland hot crab dip or some carrot cake chicken and waffles topped with cream cheese icing." - tanya edwards
"Restaurateur Nia Grace opened this stunning, party-ready Seaport spot in May 2023, and snagged an Eater Award for Best Night Out by the end of the year. If the flavor-packed Cajun jambalaya isn’t enough of a draw, the packed entertainment calendar makes this even more of a destination. Head over for live music Wednesday through Sunday, with genres ranging from jazz to soul and R&B. Check out the entertainment website for more." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"Lauded Boston restaurateur Nia Grace successfully debuted a live music venue and supper club format called Grace by Nia to plenty of acclaim last year, and the area has attracted powerhouse groups like Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group to try out the competitive Boston market." - Valerie Li Stack
