    First time eating at Graces and everyone in our party of six loved it! The Campencha and Sticky Ribs appetizers were so delicious! The chicken pot pie was perfectly seasoned and so very tasty. Other dishes ordered which were equally delicious were the shrimp tacos and the beef stroganoff. The restaurant ambience was enjoyable on this Tuesday evening, and it was easy to hold conversations around our table. The choice of either valet parking or the parking garage made parking easy! We are already planning our next visit to Graces and talking about the menu items we want to order!
