Had a lovely table in bar area — server was friendly and drinks were great. Calamari was excellent and some dishes (bolognese, shrimp and grits) were lovely. Marsala was ok but not really a traditional presentation so that diner was a bit disappointed.

First time here and will definitely be back! Super chic and intimately cozy decor. With the tin styled ceiling, leather chairs and rough grained tables, it really had a genuine speak easy atmosphere. The food was devine! Had the short rib, mashed and asparagus for dinner and the pumpkin tres leche cake for dessert... so delicious!! Service was impeccable. They were getting ready to split the venue for a private event in one part with public access still going on when we were getting ready to leave. Noise level increased as more patrons coming in as we finished up, but not too loud. Nice place to meet friends or for date night. Recommend!!

What a fantastic experience. Our server, Nicole and the rest of the team were attentive, knowledgeable, warm and exceptional. The cadence of the meal was perfect and their generosity in making the evening special truly sets this restaurant apart from all others in Providence. We appreciated the valet and their prompt service as well as the restaurant's ability to consider our dietary preferences even for the chef's tasting. The amount of thought and skill it takes to make these dishes is impressive and appreciated. Thank you Gracie's for a wonderful evening.

    Cam in for a solo date and loved every moment of the experience. The fried fish gravy is soo flavorful, the steak skewers are to die for and the mac and cheese is also awesome. Im a huge fan of spicy food so asked for extra pepper sauce on the side and it was BANGING. not just spicy but spicy and flavorful. Had an espresso martini and a couple of kush cocktail which is like a tart strawberry and gin drink. so good !!!

    I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant as a solo diner. I was treated well and the food was incredible. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and the server very carefully packed up my leftovers so I could enjoy them the next day. In short, I was treated like family and I cannot recommend this place enough!
