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. read more

Gracie's - Five Course Chef's Tasting $110, paired with wine $170 - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

We had the 5 chef tasting tonight. Not good. Raw fish to start. Venison for main. Who serves venison? Please serve beef next Not worth the money. Recommend just ordering of the menu. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

What a wonderful anniversary dinner we had! We were treated to a complimentary champagne toast when we arrived. The service team was amazing. So attentive and professional. We chose the 5 course chef's tasting menu with wine pairings and it was amazing. Every dish was creative and delicious. The menu featured a delicious bread board with sweet potato rolls and herb bread, a refreshing tuna crudo, rich and savory gnocchi with ham and peas, tasty fried soft shell crab, perfectly cooked duck with vegetables, and a festive banana cake (with candles!). The wines chosen for each course were all new to us and quite the complement to each dish. They treated us like royalty. We're grateful to have had such an adventurous and memorable meal! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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? read more

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. read more

Where do I begin? Stopped in during Restaurant Week after long wanting too eat here. I had received a ton of great recommendations about Gracie's and they were wrong, because they undersold it! The entire experience was excellent. The servers were all outstanding and we had at least 4 people check on us during our meal. Both my wife and I went with the Restaurant Week menu. We both ordered the Russet Potato Gnocchi for our app and it was great. The combination of the Gnocchi with the Lamb, Sweet Potato and Mustard Green was packed with flavor. It was a combo of items I wouldn't have ordered typically, but glad I did! On to the entree round. I got the Roasted Atlantic Swordfish which was accompanied by some phenomena potatoes, poached leeks and mushrooms. The parsley pesto was a great addition to the plate. What a dish! My wife got the Gracie's Rigatoni which came with sweet and spicy sausage. Great rich flavor and a fantastic combo of flavors with the two types of sausage. Our dessert round was equally as tasty. She had the Vanilla Creme Brûlée and I had the Chocolate Marquise (a molasses chocolate bread pudding with cranberry and chicory ice cream). Wow! Both fantastic! Great overall experience and a place that will be added to our rotation of great places in Providence! read more

Best restaurant in Providence - perfect for a fancy date night out. The service is impeccable and the food is always cooked perfectly.

Gracie's is certainly one of my favorite restaurants in Providence, and one of my favorite restaurants in New England. We've never had a bad dining experience here, they've always made us feel as if we're the only patrons there. The staff was attentive and nice. The food was spectacular, creative, tasty, and aesthetically pleasing to all the senses. The cocktails were refreshing and the wine pairings were presented between each course. Highly recommend the duck to anyone, it was the best. Not greasy, cooked just right and I'm getting hungry just typing about it. Thank you again for a wonderful evening, cheers! read more

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! read more

Seven course tasting with wine pairing was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing--- all staff extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly have a high level of hospitality training and experience. Each course was delectable--- the wine pairing with the food choices was unbelievable and added to the experience. The food melted in your mouth with flavors bursting. We left full but not feeling stuffed and bloated despite devouring a lot of food. Timing between course was precise and seemed to cone out at exactly the perfect time. It is pricey at $200/ person however worth every cent. read more

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. read more

This is truly a culinary experience. My husband and I visit this restaurant annually and never leave disappointed. The menu has a surprise factor and the flavors are always unique and exquisite. This weekend I ate a four course meal and wish it never ended. The portions are small but still allow space in your stomach to sample other dishes. My favorite dish of the night was the Spanish Octopus served on creamy potatoes. This is a fine dining restaurant that I will always return to. See pictures* read more

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! read more

Tried this restaurant out for Valentine's Day with my fiancé. Really cozy inside, with great service. We went with the 4 course a la carte menu and also started with a cheese board from the cheese cart. We loved that the cheese cart came right to the table and someone explained what each cheese was and where it came from. This also came with an assortment of crackers and some fresh jams. Some of our favorites from the a la carte menu were the scallops, gnocchi, and Spanish octopus. Other tiny tastings were brought between each course as well like lemon sorbet and mini macarons. We also shared a bottle of wine, recommended by our waitress. We left very full, loved that we got to try so many different things. It is quite pricey but I would recommend for a special occasion as it is a unique dining experience! read more

My husband and I wanted a fun wedding reception to follow our ceremony at the nearby Providence Athenaeum. We wanted a non-sit down dinner with lots of drinks and dancing and Gracie's--thanks to Kendal--delivered that and more. First, about Kendal, the on-site event coordinator. She was an absolute dream to work with, especially since my husband and I live and work in NYC with somewhat difficult work schedules. While I grew up in RI and already loved Gracie's, she made the decision easier and we picked Gracie's the first weekend we started looking at venues. Second, the experience. We wanted a fun reception for our mostly out-of-town (and even out-of-country) guests with great food and drinks that wouldn't stop flowing. They worked with us to have an awesome list of a mix of passed appetizers and other foods (and a gnocchi bar). My personal favorite was that, being from RI, the chef was able to make a "stuffie station." I also have celiac disease and felt very comfortable with the staff and prep that I wouldn't get sick. They also handled a handful of other dietary needs with ease (again, shout out for that awesome "stuffie station" with gluten free ones for me). I cannot stress enough how much I personally did not and do not care about linens and other decorating details. Gracie's handled that all and the venue just looked gorgeous. We also had about 115 guests overall, which seems like a lot, but the main floor worked perfectly for the dance party wedding atmosphere we were going for. Thank you again to to Kendal and the entire staff at Gracie's for such an amazing experience. I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing restaurant and can't wait to stop by next time we're in Providence. read more

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. read more

Like another RI legend. Gracie's just feels like it's going downhill. We've made this place our go-to for special occasions for years because of the way they (used) to treat their guests. This past visit, we went to celebrate my wife's birthday, something she looks forward to every year. Except for this year, Gracie's didn't acknowledge the birthday. They've either moved away from the extra little efforts (stars on the table, cute little happy birthday note) or the service just doesn't care anymore. When we are going to drop $400+ on a meal, we expect a little more. If it wasn't for Elizabeth at the bar, we probably wouldn't go back at all (Pro tip - sit where Elizabeth is working - it offers a whole different experience). read more
