    There were so many different meats I never thought the servers would get them all to us but as soon as we sat down the different servers brought over each course several times. There was no shortage of food and the quality was great. Unfortunately there was a large party going on in the bar area that made the dining area very loud and difficult to hear but it subsided after a while. Otherwise everything was excellent and the numerous servers never let our plates empty and always had our drinks filled. Excellent dining experience.

    We have been dining at Gracie's since it opened on Washington Street. The food has. been consistently excellent over all those years. Sometimes I have wondered whether Gracie's will be as good as I recall from the last visit, and without fail, my expectations are exceeded. The staff are efficient and knowledgeable, and there are special touches, such as having enough servers available to serve an entire table of diners at the same time. Although some items on the menu may seem like old standards, there always seem to be slight tweaks that create a bit of a new experience, without fail.
