    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.

    Everything was delicious. The caesar salad was outstanding as always - so cold, fresh and flavorful. The Fleming's potatoes and sauteed mushrooms were the perfect sides. Both filets we ordered were cooked to perfection and the chicken dish was also amazing - the sauce was delicious - I wish there had been more of it!! The creme brulee and brownie desserts were gone in seconds at our table. As always, the restaurant made my mom's birthday dinner special with a card signed by the staff, some table decorations, and a delicious box of chocolates on the way out. Erica (a former student of mine) also went out of her way to make our dinner special - thank you Erica - we will be back!!
