    My husband 1st visit, my 2nd visit, at 1st my Mac and Cheese was cold, the waiter attitude was the same as my 1st visit, especially after he saw we was paying with cards given to us by the 1st visit, but I still tipped him well. My husband lemonade was weak, and my margarita was weak, food good though

    Second time to Grace’s. First time impressive. This time food was good but server couldn’t understand or speak English very well so my beef short ribs came out as beef stroganoff. I’m sure he won’t be employed there by the time your reading this message. It’s a good restaurant but I expect better hiring/training for waitstaff from Carrabas.
