"Since Ellen Gracyalny opened Gracie’s in 1998, her romantic and refined restaurant has been one of Providence’s top spots for a special occasion meal. Try executive chef Matthew Varga’s seasonal five- or seven-course tasting menus, which often include produce grown in the restaurant’s rooftop garden. The evening’s menu might include foie gras with vanilla pain perdu (French toast) and concord grape preserves or a Rhode Island monkfish stew." - Erika Adams, Jenna Pelletier

"Fancy multi-course dinner spots are few and far between in Providence, but if you’re looking for a reason to throw down lots of cash for some stunning dishes, Gracie’s is the place to do it. It’s the kind of restaurant where a dish of Point Judith sea scallops is followed by a string of ingredients that leaves a lot to the imagination (i.e. peas, leeks, bacon marmalade, carrot-ginger sauce). Gracie’s is also smack dab in the middle of the theater district, making it a great start to a slightly less expensive Broadway-esque dinner-and-a-show type of evening." - grace kelly

My boyfriend and I came here for a nice date night dinner in mind. He picked the spot so wasn’t aware of it being fine dining with our attire, but it was the best experience from start to finish.. we instantly fell in love the food is so well thought did I mention delicious!! As well as the presentation it was outstanding! Can’t wait to go back and tell all my family and friends about Gracie’s and how we fell in love. Great job to the entire team who makes this place what it is!

Gracie's was such a fun place to eat. It really felt like a great experience. We did the 5 course chef tasting. By doing this I tried some things I probably would not have ordered. It was all fantastic. We will definitely come again.

Gracie's truly never disappoints. This visit was for a birthday and we were greeted with a beautiful birthday card on the table. The food as always was excellent - highlights for me were the soft-as-clouds gnocchi and the foie gras. I highly recommend the more comprehensive tasting menu; the extra items are well worth it in my opinion. Gracie's does come worth a hefty price tag but honestly I've had a better experience here than plenty of 1 Michelin starred restaurants in a similar price range. I would definitely strongly consider Gracie's for another special occasion dinner in the future.

We enjoyed our dinner here. Gnocchi was a great starter. Duck was the best thing that we ordered. Mixed nuts tasted burnt on random pieces. A bit over priced for what we got, however the service was impeccable.

We had a 5 course tasting menu. The cod was amazing. The service was excellent. I mentioned I needed lactose free and was very happy they could do it. Well worth the price. We had a great evening for our anniversary. Definitely would recommend and be back

Literally my #1 favorite restaurant. Every dish is a work of art, and they are accommodating for special diets, which is very unique to a restaurant that offers courses and pairings. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere. I think about this restaurant all the time, it's such a huge treat to be able to go. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't been able to visit Gracie's. This place is a TREASURE.

November 2022: We had a seven course tasting menu. $440 including the tips. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the tables are well spaced out, with some privacy achieved by partitions/sheer curtains. The service was very attentive. The food was very good, with the exception of desert. Course 1: scallop crudo - superb, probably my favorite course of the night Course 2: potato gnocchi - very nice Course 3: fois gras - nice combination of savory and sweet flavors Course 4: haddock - I am not a big fan of haddock but it was fine Course 5: venison - very well done, I enjoyed it a lot Course 6: three cheese board - interesting cheeses from around New England Course 7: cream cookies and peaches deserts. The desert was disappointing, there were three different things on the plate, and I did like any of them. Almost everything was left on the plate, this is so unlike me. Between course 4 and 5 we were served a sober, it was very nice. I wish we had a lemon sorbet at the end as the desert, that would have finished the dinner better than very sweet creamy options.

Had a really amazing night celebrating our courthouse wedding. The food was delicious and the staff made the night feel very special! Will be coming back for every special occasion from now on.

Gracie's is probably the most comprehensive food experiences you can have In Providence. We booked a reservation through open table for our 7th anniversary, our last big date before we got married so we wanted to find a place to have a truly exceptional experience and Gracie's was PERFECT. The experience we received was a 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing. To just air it out, this cost $220 for the both of us before taxes and tip. However, we were under the impression that the five course tasting menu came with one wine, NOT THE CASE! This came with an astounding selection of 5 handpicked wines by their sommelier matched specifically for the meals provided. Not only were the wines phenomenal, the food was divine. As good to look at as it was to eat, each dish had a small serving and was presented in a fun, creative, and delicious way. Our server explained each dish very clearly and between each dish the sommelier would introduce the wine to us. The portions are small, but remember there are 5 of them to eat plus a glass of wine, it does fill you up by that last plate! Overall, amazing experience, I don't know if I would justify a normal meal here knowing that the tasting menu is an option. If we come back we will shoot for the 7 course tasting menu!

Overall we enjoyed Gracie's, but we're definitely left wanting a little more. The good: it was an anniversary and the little touches like confetti on the table, a glass of champagne and candle in dessert were very nice. The house baked focaccia was delightful. The most stellar bite was the crème brûlée. It was one of the best we've ever had. The wait staff was very attentive and professional. The not so great: none of the appetizers or main courses really stood out were memorable. I had the NY strip and it was fine. Solid but nothing special. My wife had the scallops and pork belly and again it was OK but I'd describe it as safe and boring. One other small note: it was winter and the valet didn't open the door for the passenger and no one took our coats so that was a little below the service we expected.

Most of my friends love this place, so I am probably not fancy enough to enjoy it. We came for a wine class and then stayed for dinner. They said you get 10% off the bill if you do that but we didn't get the discount. The wine tasting was informative, the wines tasty, the snacks so so. Dinner wise the quality of the food is very good but it's expensive for the portion size. Overall I'm not wowed but everyone else I know is!

Yelp
Six of us (four adults, two children aged 8) had a wonderful meal at Gracie's. Service was impeccable, they had a great Bourbon selection (important for me!), and all three courses were fantastic. I ordered the scallops and have to say the best part of the dish was the strip of pastrami in the center of the plate. It makes me want to grab a pastrami sandwich today! The kids split the NY Strip and the chef plated it on two smaller plates with the steak sliced up. It was a wonderful touch and saved the parents from having to cut it up. It's the perfect special occasion spot and yes, we'll be back.

Gracie's does it again with another sold out event! My friend and I attended the Journey Through The Vines - Bordeaux on September 26, 2024. The downstairs private dining room was setup with 3 tables instead of the horseshoe seating at the last wine tasting. The tables had votive candles, white linens and napkins, seating place cards, and list of the names of the 6 wines and the culinary bites. We spent the next hour and half learning from Justin about the luxurious region of Bordeaux (left bank and right bank are two Bordeaux winemaking regions separated by the Gironde Estuary, which divides into the Dordogne and Garonne rivers), enjoying Bordeaux's exquisite wines, and consuming small plates. When I think of Bordeaux wines, usually red wines come into my mind, but we started with two white wine tastings and they were one of my favorites of the night. We started with Château Clarke 'Le Merle' 2022 and Château Carbonnieux, Pessac Léognan 2021. This was paired with an Alsatian flatbread that has chèvre, caramelized onion, and lardon. I really enjoyed the balanced, freshness, and hints of sweet and fruity flavors of the Château Clarke 'Le Merle' 2022. The flatbread accompanied both wines really well. The next set of wine tastings were red wines: Château Gueyrosse, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015, Closeries des Moussis, 'Le Baragane', Haut-Médoc 2021, and Château Sociando-Mallet, Haut-Médoc 2005. This was paired with a roasted squab with sour cherry, creamy polenta, and curly endive. It was my first time having roasted squab and it was delicious. WOW. I'm still drooling when I think of this dish. The squab was so tender, moist, and lean. The polenta was so creamy and rich in flavor. The wines accompanied the dish. Last wine tasting was Château Roûmieu-Lacoste, Sauternes 2019. This was paired with Bluebird cheese from The Grey Barn & Farm, honeycomb, and spiced nuts. The Château Roûmieu-Lacoste, Sauternes 2019 reminded me of ice-wine which I really enjoy and usually I am not a fan of blue cheese but Bluebird cheese was delicious. This was the perfect and sweet way to end the evening. The staff at Gracie's: Justin, Sarah, and Ash were amazing as always. They are all so personable, knowledgeable, sociable, and just want you to have an astounding experience. The whole Journey Through The Vines - Bordeaux was an unforgettable journey from start to finish and the quality of the wine tastings and the food was definitely worth it for the price! Book their next Journey through the vines event before it sells out.

For my parents' 40th anniversary, we decided we'd finally try Gracie's and boy was it amazing. We opted for the Seven Course Chef's Tasting ($145/pp) with the Sommelier Grand Pairing ($100/pp), and it was worth every penny. The menu is seasonal, but we LOVED summer Gnocchi with corn, little neck clams, bacon, and bread crumbs, and an exceptional bluefin tuna crudo. The true highlight was the service. Our server, Ash, and the sommelier, Justin, went above and beyond to make the evening special, from personalized touches at the table to in-depth explanations of wines and dishes. It was an extraordinary dining experience we won't soon forget. Pro Tips: - Make reservations in advance for special occasions. - Try the tasting menu -- lots of courses but it won't leave you feeling miserable from overeating - The Grand sommelier pairing is a MUSTor wine enthusiasts. -

My friend and I attended the Bordeaux wine tasting since we loved the previous sparking wine event and no surprise this event was another amazing night! Getting to learn about the history of Bordeaux and tasting rare wine was such incredible experience. This wine tasting came with 6 different red wines and 3 different sides to pair with the wine. Gracies has the best customer service I have experienced! I loved how they remembered me and my friend from the last time we came and really made us feel welcomed. Everything was delicious and I can easily see myself attending every single one. They literally have it all, good food, service, and vibes. Definitely worth trying if you never been.

My partner and I here for my birthday celebration - we opted for the 7 course tasting. The food started out great (the first 3 courses). Unfortunately, as the courses continued coming out, it began going into a downhill slope. But Caroline, the manager really took care of us the moment she realized I wasn't enjoying a few of the courses. She made sure I didn't have to eat what I didn't like and was happy to replace it with anything of my choice. She was so understanding and sweet, she even gave us a small discount for everything. This is the kind of service I look for when dining out and she provided us with a great experience just because of how attentive, thoughtful and kind she was.

Did the seven course tasting menu for our anniversary and everything is just what you'd expect for a tasting menu! Great dishes for the night overall especially the duck service was great, everyone explained the dishes so well that it made the experience of eating it better! I want to give props to the valet guy in the front. He was all by himself and still made sure we had our car parked even when he was busy. When we finished I thought we'd have to wait for our car to be returned but he already had it ready out front!!

It's been a few years since my last review, but Gracie's continues to impress. From the confetti and cards they decorate your table with when celebrating an occasion, to the thoughtfully created non-alcoholic pairings, I love everything about this place. They deserve all of those AAA 4-diamond awards! It's been my birthday tradition to visit Gracie's, and this year my husband pulled out all the stops and gifted me with a 7-course tasting menu (with non-alcoholic pairings). With our first baby on the way, I'm not sure what my future birthday dinners can/will look like, so this was such a wonderful way to spend the evening. The service team was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and took great care to manage my dietary restrictions. Thanks, Gracie's, for another magical dinner!

I will start with WOW! When we 1st arrived I almost left without trying anything because of the wine and spirits list. However the service was amazing and inspite not finding any wines or spirits I expected for this level of restaurant we stayed. Once the 1st course arrived bluefin crudo we knew it was going to be very good. Prior to the crudo we had little muffins that were also amazing. The place is very peaceful with great music food and parings. We will 100% return. My favorite course is pictured here. The Chef is amazing! Very accommodating and the best food!

Our first time visiting Gracie's but definitely not our last. We came here for Providence Restaurant Week and took advantage of their discounted tasting menu. From the beautiful decor to the romantic lights, it was a perfect Saturday evening. It was everything we wanted and then some. With a wine pairing for an additional cost ($60) that was well worth the money was the perfect way to indulge our senses and experience. Our server Caroline was great. She helped inform us about the tasting menu dishes and wine pairings selections. They also have an a la carte option as well. For starters, we had the Fluke Crudo which was extremely flavorful, fresh, and tasty. Following the crudo was a Russet Potato Gnocchi, Scallops (my fave), Duck, and Dessert. Now you might be thinking "Wow how did you eat all of this in one sitting"? For a tasting menu, there are no big portions as you will see from the pictures, they're smaller portions similar to a Tapas style menu. You get to taste a little bit of everything which has always been my favorite. It was pretty expensive since they do take on a 22% service fee or "teamshare" that gets dispersed to the Culinary and Hospitality teams so you do not need to add extra gratuity on top unless you want to. For us, this was our mistake but nothing we can do about it now. At least we had an excellent time and a terrific meal. We will be sure to come back again.

Gracie's is a stunning location with artful cocktails and meals. We enjoyed house made sorbet & gelato with our favorite espresso martinis (some of the best in Rhode Island) and we mean it! The staff was so hospitable & we cannot wait to visit again. For intimate gatherings, or even special nights Gracie's is the spot to visit.

My favorite restaurant in Providence. Hands down. I have eaten here more than anywhere else in the state, and I have never had a bad time. In fact I love it so much I celebrated my 30th birthday here. I've done dinners and special events here and they've all been spectacular, including the chefs tasting menu which I highly recommend. If you're into food then this is a must try. Gnocchi and duck would both be on my must try list. Not only is the food to die for, but the service is absolutely top notch. This is a restaurant that cares about the diners experience. That experience includes the interior with its soaring ceilings, mixture of tables, booth and banquets, as well as a wonderfully intimate bar. You really just can't go wrong here. Trust me.

Top-notch service and ambiance for anniversary dinner. We had the 5-course chef's menu and they added treats for our anniversary. R.I. fluke crudo was wildly good and they made the best gnocchi I've had since Sorrento. Service team was attentive, friendly, and hard-working--kudos to the leaders who create that atmosphere. Also completely love the decor-especially the focus on hydrangeas!

We went in on a Thursday night for our anniversary dinner. We opted for the seven course tasting with the wine pairing. They started the tasting with a champagne toast and two different fresh baked breads with a side of maple butter and jam. First course: Black sea bass crudo with citrus, olive oil, fresh hebs, and evoo. This was paired with an italian white wine. A+ Second course: Russet Potato Gnocchi with oxtail, hen of the woods, greens, cheese, and herb crumbs for the crunch. It was paired with a Pinot Noir. B+ Third course: Hudson Valley Foie Gras made with apple, honeynut squash, toasted seed granola, and cranberry agrodolce. This was the best Foie Gras that I have ever had and it was perfectly paired with a dessert wine from Virginia. A+ Fourth course: Swordfish with green lentils, vadouvan curry , trunip, tomato ginger jam. This was paired with another Italain white wine, Manincor Reserve della Contessa from the Alto Adige. B+ In between these courses was a butternut squash sorbet to cleanse the palete. Fifth Course: Cresent Farms Duck Breast with braised red cabbage, sweet potato, pouched apple, wild rice crispies, cider jus. This was paired with a Napa Zinfindel. A Sixth course: Cheese board with 3 different cheeses, one was an excellent blue cheese served with honey encrused nuts, another was a goat cheese brie. I would have added more honey drizzle to the dish if I could. This was served with another white wine. A (At this point we had a hard time finishing the the plates) Seventh course: Citrus Semolina Cake with pistachioies, ricotta cream, canndied orange, bee pollen, funnel crips. This was paired with another white wine. C Overall, the service was excellent and the pairings were delicious. The experience was fantastic. I don't think that we needed the extra two courses at the end, but I'm glad we tried it. You can also make your own tasting with the suggested pairings, which can be difficult because all of the dishes are great even if you wouldn't normally order them.

I was very excited to try Gracie's for restaurant week as I had a heard a lot of great things about this place. Made reservations for an anniversary. First of all, parking was almost non-existent. We were very lucky to get one of two spots in the front, but otherwise we would have been circling for a while. Thought I read somewhere that there would be a valet service, but did not see any anywhere. When we got to our table, everything was beautifully decorated. Great interior, friendly and accommodating wait staff. We were very excited to try the restaurant week tasting menu... ...which was unfortunately too overhyped. Don't get me wrong, the food was very tasty. However, nothing "special" per say, with small portions and a hefty price tag. We were lucky that the price was a bit better with the restaurant week pricing, but not sure I would pay full price for those meals. None of them were particularly bad, but also none of them were particularly standing out. Overall, not sure I'd come here again unless there was something special to catch my eye. Had a good time though and glad I went once.

The meal at Gracies was in a word, incredible. The four people that attended the dinner this evening all took part in the restaurant week Five Course Chef's Tasting $110, Paired with Wine $170. One of the four members of the party selected the wine pairing with all five courses and the other three selected non-alcoholic beverages to accompany their dinner. The first course was a delicious tuna, strawberry green onion, vinegar dish to wake up the pallet and prepare it for the four remaining courses that were to follow. The wine pairing with this particular course was delicious a Basque-based white wine with subtle fruity notes, designed to accompany the dish and prepare the pallet for the remainder of the meal. The second course was a absolutely delicious pasta gnocchi, course with fava beans, lamb, peas with a variety of soft herbs on top of the dish. The wine pairing for the second course was was from the the north west part of Italy, called the Paramont region meaning foot of the mountain in English. It paired wonderfully, and was a nice addition to the meal. The third course was a delicious point do the scallop course with bacon, peas, and a crouton that might have been my favorite bite of the entire meal. The wine pairing with this particular course was a deeper red that the sommelier described as a less scary Barolo grape, that accentuated the notes of the scallop and the accompanying sides of the dish.. The fourth course was a duck course with bok choy, a ginger, garlic sauce and a turnip-based purée. The skin on the duck was crunchy and well seasoned and was the best duck skin I've had in Providence for five years. The duck itself came from a the final wild duck farm based in Long Island, New York, and was tender, delicious, melt in your mouth good. The wine pairing with this particular course was a Spanish Rioja, which had full body, a strong plum and cherry base with some finer notes of vanilla and damp earth. The final main course was a dessert of chocolate brownie at 66% cacao which places it squarely in between milk and dark chocolate, paired with a strawberry, rhubarb compote and rhubarb crisp and along with candied rhubarb and fresh strawberries from Four town's farm. The final wine that was paired with the dessert was a fun, light, bubbly, slightly sugary wine that was meant to be drunk young. One smell of this wine would indicate that it was very young, sugary, and added nicely to the final dessert course. Besides the main courses as part of the tasting menu, we also enjoyed three additional accompaniments with our main meal. The first of these accompaniments was a bread plate of focaccia bread with a nice tomato spread, and a brioche bun with vanilla glaze and flaky sea salt on top, the brioche spread included a lemon sage compound butter, which was a wonderful start to the meal, The second accompaniment was a nice lemon sherbet palate cleanser in between dishes three and four, and the final accompaniment after dessert was a macaron from the partner bakery Elle's also located in downtown Providence. The service at Gracies was unparalleled. We were constantly served and attended to whenever we needed to be. The servers were knowledgeable, courteous and polite the entire meal. The sommelier that accompanied us on our meal was very knowledgeable, friendly and warm, and provided extra context to the entire meal, and the wines pairings. The decor was fancy white tablecloth. Alex showed up wearing shorts feeling out of place but the service staff were warm, friendly and accommodating nonetheless. Next time we go, Alex will dress more appropriately. We absolutely loved our meal here. We can't wait to return.

The RI Restaurant Week prix fix menu is the best way to access and enjoy Gracie's. Their bread board is always out of this world, and the meat is always perfectly cooked and tender. The service is top notch, and the interior is warm and romantic, with a private room wine cellar in the bottom floor that we were lucky enough to enjoy.

Staid menu. Overpriced for the same limited options. Needs to up their game as the likes of Bayberry Garden and Sarto are stealing their crowd.

We had the 7-course tasting menu & wine pairing and it was a fantastic experience. Wine pairings were spot on, service was flawless, and the food was consistently excellent. We were a bit surprised to be seated in the lounge when our reservation was for the main dining room. Maybe next time we'll call in advance to be sure what we're booking? Just a minor hiccup, though. We'll definitely be back!

If you are thinking about trying the tasting menu with wines, you should do it, especially for a special occasion. It is a bit pricey, around $400 for two with wine and coffee, but the ambiance, service, and quality of the wine are worth every penny. All courses were delicious, of course, different people have different favorites, but they were all special and professionally cooked and presented. The bread is complimentary, even though each course is small portioned, but all of them with bread and wine it's very filling. If you expect to have a big meal and bring some leftovers to home like a steakhouse, it's not your cup of tea. But if you're looking for a upscaled, elegant, and delicious place for a romantic dinner, it's fabulous.

Honestly? I sort of have NO WORDS for how good this meal was. My boyfriend took me there for a Chef's tasting menu and . . . every. single. detail. was perfection. The Foie Gras (which I'd never had before) was outstanding . . . the service, the experience, the ambiance, just 5-star all the way if you have the money to spend as it's a pricier restaurant - for a reason. I typically write longer reviews but, perfection - just perfection. This wasn't just "good food, good service" - this was a dining experience not to be missed.

We visited Gracie's enjoying the five course meal with wine pairings. The food was artfully prepared from the freshest ingredients, each bite tantalizing our taste buds. The wine paired perfectly with each dish, highlighting the various flavors. The servers were so incredibly knowledgeable about each wine, giving a thorough description of each pour, as well as how it relates to the course before you. The mood was set to be romantic, intimate, and curated for a relaxing experience.

Gracie's is an institution in Providence. Many locals argue that when it comes to fine or upscale dining, Gracie's is Providence's best restaurant. While I'm not a local, I can say this was a very solid and enjoyable meal. Service consisted of a younger college or graduate-age staff, providing friendly and approachable service. They knew the menu inside out. It's good to see fine dining service more relaxed to make patrons feel the most comfortable as possible. I went with the seven course tasting menu. Brioche with herbed butter and focaccia with hummus. For a bread course, it was ok. The brioche had a very thin, delicate, and flaccid crust - devoid of any bronze. It could have used a flash in a hot oven to give life. The focaccia had a better texture but also could have benefited with some warmth. The herbed butter and hummus were simple and uncomplicated. Nothing special, but I never expected bread to be the star of a tasting menu. Tuna tartare in watermelon with coriander and snow pea. While the tuna was of great quality, the watermelon was too strong, and at times, felt it overpowered the delicate meatiness of the tuna. What actually helped was the chiffonade of snow peas that provided the earthiness that bridged the watermelon and the tuna. I think I would have replaced the watermelon with a more delicate tomato consommé to strike a perfect balance of land and sea. I always believe the key to preparing raw dishes is using subtle ingredients to elevate the natural flavor of the fish. Russet potato gnocchi with braised Berkshire pork, stewed tomato, Calabrian chili, Bianco Sardo. Simple, proud, and very well executed. Our waitress said this pork braised for a very long time, and all that time is reflected in the tenderness of high-quality pork in tomato. Calabrian chili is a classic partner with the tomato. The Bianco Sardo is assertive but complements and harmonizes all the other ingredients' sharpness. And the gnocchi was perfectly cooked, resulting in a light, pillowy texture. Each bite you can get every ingredient. Simple but a subtlety of finesse permeating throughout the dish. Hudson Valley foie gras with toasted zucchini bread, concord grape preserve, peanut nougatine. This was the most whimsical dish. Get the concept? Peanut butter and jelly with foie gras. A simple intuitive concept that was executed very well. The foie was seared and cooked perfectly. The grape preserve provided acidity and sweetness to cut through the fattiness, and the peanut nougatine provided the texture and accent to the meatiness of the foie. However, if you didn't tell me that was toasted zucchini bread, I wouldn't have guessed it. It was very delicate and struggled to hold together as you combine all the ingredients together. Otherwise, it was a fun and tasty dish. Atlantic halibut with heirloom tomato passata, summer squash, herbs, and black olive oil. I was fixated on the black olive oil. Apparently, this was made in house, and it was a star ingredient that brought everything together in this dish. The halibut had a nice sear, but was maybe another 15 seconds away on additional cooking of being over. The other ingredients were cooked well. The black olive oil had a slight briny funk - the good kind - that complemented all the other ingredients that accompanied the halibut. This dish screamed new American autumn. Cresent Farms duck with charred pole beans, smoked potato, braised lacinato kale, and plum jus. Duck was perfectly cooked, but the butchering could use some improvement as there was some tougher connective tissue to cut through at one part of the duck breast. One general folly of chefs with duck is overdoing the fruit pairing with duck. But here, the application of plum was tactful and balanced - just enough sweetness and tartness without taking away the duck's umami. The smoked potato and braised kale acted as a counterbalance to the main stars. Very well composed dish. Artisan cheeses consisted of local raw goat and cow's milk cheeses accompanied with hot pepper jelly, caramelized onion marmalade, and a nut brittle with honey. The star was the raw goat's cheese that had that funk with the hint of tartness that paired well with the jelly. Raspberry tart with citrus curd, Chantilly, white chocolate ganache, and wild flower honey. I loved that the pastry chef was not afraid to highlight tartness. Furthermore, the pastry's texture had the perfect balance - delicate but not soft and flaccid, yet thick but not like a hockey puck. You're able to use a fork and use just a gentle push to get a small composed forkful of all the ingredients in a composed bite. A visit to Providence should mean making a reservation to Gracie's. And while I'm not a local of Providence or Rhode Island, I think Gracie's competes at a level with one-Michelin star restaurants in New York City. It's worth a trip.

As usual Gracie's did not disappoint. Have been numerous times for our anniversary dinner and every time we leave wowed. From the champagne toast and happy anniversary card to the outstanding service and delicious food, the Gracie's Experience is unparalleled in Rhode Island. While expensive, you are not just paying for an amazing meal you're paying for an unforgettable experience.

Mixed bag of an experience for a recent birthday dinner at Gracie's. Food was fabulous - like truly fabulous. The foie gras, scallops, cheese board, steak, and panna cotta were devoured by our party. Honestly, some of the best food I've had in a while. So 5 stars for food. The ambiance and service is where things felt strange. Our waiter insisted on wearing a mask (which is completely fine) but as a result, we couldn't hear anything he said which made the experience frustrating. We totally understood and respected his right to wear a mask but it felt a little off in such a nice restaurant and having to ask him to repeat everything he said was just not a great way to start of the evening. Right off the bat, we ordered martinis and were dismayed about their liquor selection - I believe they only had one or two obscure brands of vodka which bummed out our crew of Belvedere and Ketel. And then to make matters worse, our first round of drinks were all made incorrectly. Ambiance in the dining room was really strange. It wasn't super fancy (though the presentation of dishes seemed on par with higher end fine dining experiences we have had), nor was it comfy cozy with amazing food. It was a weird in between with a sparse dining room, odd moroccan feeling decor, and a hushed subdued atmosphere. Again, the food was amazing but the vibe and service was so off that we wouldn't want to dine in the dining room again. Perhaps the bar (which we were told is reservation only) is a better spot to dine?

When searching for good food in Providence, Gracie's was near the top of the list. However, it was out of my budget for a full meal. So I decided to grab dinner somewhere else and came here for dessert. I'm SO glad I still managed to come here, because it is a special place. I grabbed a seat at the bar about 40 minutes before they closed on a Sunday evening. The ambiance was a bit moody with dark walls and decor and candle lit lighting- it was lovely. I went with the Midnight Manjari Mousse, which is described as: strawberry, caramelized white chocolate, balsamic glaze, sweet cream ice cream. I absolutely LOVED it. It had strawberries 5 different ways- fresh, in the mouse, freeze-dried, pureed, and little gelatinous pieces. It was very well-balanced and it would have been the perfect size for two people. It was just me- and I was already full, but I didn't waste any of it. It was very delicious and incredibly unique. I would LOVE to come back and get the full experience next time, I know now it would be well worth the price tag.

Gracie's was our choice for my 35th wedding anniversary. We chose the pre-fix five course menu with wine paring. The food was delicious and the wine excellent. The service was very attentive and informed us about the menu items as they arrived. We were seated in a private corner of the restaurant that was private and well decorated. Gracie's is the perfect location for a special occasion

chef's tasting was phenomenal. 5 courses of deliciousness paired with exquisite wines. Our server was astoundingly kind and very welcoming with an immense knowledge of the kitchen and the dishes. Will be coming back to this warm eatery!

Ambiance is great! You will never feel rushed and staff is very attentive. Food on the tasting menu however, needs to be more creative. I'm not sure if this restaurant lost the original chef but I must say that tasting menu almost never changes. I would love to see new dishes with flare. The added on 22% to pay their staffs wages and insurance is tacky as the business should be responsible and not the patrons. Overall, still my favorite restaurant.

Fine dining done well. Beautiful venue for a recent wedding. Highly recommend. Small portions, but that's what you get in fine dining!

Amazing all around. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. You have to visit Gracie's when in Providence.

Sat at the bar because it was impossible to get a reservation. Had the foie gras and rigatoni which were both superb, and out waiter/bartender was very attentive. Wine list could be a little better.

We celebrated our anniversary at Gracie's with an outstanding meal. Complex, delicious beet salad. Way better than others in PVD. Our duck entree was tender and superb. The scallops were the best yet. Great service, nice extras. Only wish they still had valet parking. Not easy to find a spot. Will Uber next time.

The tasting menu with wine pairings is one of my favorite. We love to try it for special occasions, or just because!

Dined here for my birthday. Service was excellent. Our server was personable and knowledgeable. Every dish was described to us. We did the 7 course and my guy did the wine tasting also. I was disappointed that one of our courses was just blocks of cheese. Lacked creativity and honestly who is going to eat 5 blocks of cheese? Other than that everything was delicious. I'm knocking off one star because I'm not sure the price point meets the value for the tasting. Next time we just might order from the menu. It was a wonderful evening and we definitely enjoyed the experience.

Gracie's is an absolutely wonderful restaurant. From the little touches like a more private booth and a handwritten card for dining during an anniversary, to the incredible food, to the brilliant wine pairings and service (shout-out to Caroline for teaching us more about wines than we had ever known before), we will definitely be coming back year after year!

Four stars but.... We had a large group and did the tasting menu w/wine pairings. The food was very good but the wines left a lot to be desired. The service was ok but not as good as I would expect. The restaurant is attractive and the bar was very welcoming. Nevertheless I don't feel that the value is there any longer. $450 for two is too much for what we had. Next time it's a la carte for us.

Best restaurant in Providence - perfect for a fancy date night out. The service is impeccable and the food is always cooked perfectly. I didn't take any pictures because the lighting didn't do my camera justice but everything is beautifully plated and thoughtfully served. I came here once a few years ago and loved it so much I came back for my anniversary dinner. Definitely recommend!

A beautiful 5 course tasting menu for a special night out. 5/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for ambience Ambience: Date night on a Saturday night, we were seated prompted to our table and a lovely card from the restaurant met us at our table for the occasion. Intimate lighting, beautiful seating and spatious decorum make for a great dinner. Service: The hostess took our coats (complimentary), our waitress also was expedient and attentive, friendly and inviting Food: Starting the night off with champagne and a cocktail (You'll shoot your eye out - Gin based with nice hints of citrus) was a great way to kick off the meal A box of utensils placed at the table made it convenient for wait staff to clear the table and avoid repeated interruptions for the meal Bread - great butter, nice and warm - I'm a sucker for good bread Crudo - beautiful fish dish with hints of acidity, and a sauce you could straight up just drink Gnocchi dish - strong truffle flavor and great splashed of parmisian to adorn the plate. The gnocchi itself was fluffy and pillowy. Swordfish dish - great autumnal flavors and well cooked, meaty and filling with nice side vegetables Sorbet pallet cleanser was a nice break Duck - the pickled mustard jus and carrot paired wonderfully with this perfectly cooked piece of poultry Dessert: Smores petit gateaux - such light and amazing pieces of chocolate with a delicate exterior, shiny and such an appetizing, romantic end of the flight We were so impressed by dessert, we moved onto ordering a Creme Brulee, which was perfect to just crack into, and hit all the sweet and melt-in-your-mouth goodness to end the meal. Bathroom: downstairs Tips/Takeaways: -Five course meal: quite amazing, great cocktails, seasonal/timely -Ambience perfect for a date night -Service - impeccable -A must try in Providence!

I've been off yelp for a while, but decided to make a come back so I can review this place. We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary here. We haven't been on a decent date in over a year since my wife got pregnant. So I wanted to do something special. This was, by far, one of the best restaurant experiences we had in a while. The staff was excellent, friendly and kind. The food was exquisite. The atmosphere was great. You're paying for an experience that is so worth it.

We went here for an anniversary dinner. Dinner started with a complimentary glass of champagne, which was lovely. We did the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing and it was AMAZING! I thought it was very fairly priced as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back!
