Ate here on a Saturday night this past February per our friends' suggestion. So glad we did. Loved the atmosphere--it's clean, warm and romantic. Our server was very good.

After hearing rave reviews about Grace, I headed to the restaurant before catching a concert at the Mod Club.
Grace blew away my expectations. The environment is small, with neutral colours, ambient lighting and attentive staff. I swear, my glass of water was always filled, and the waiters that served my guest and I were always making suggestions and helping us order our meals.
I ended up choosing the red snapper off the dinner menu, and then got a strawberry mojito on the side. The snapper was delicious, however I kind of wish the salad portion of the meal was a bit bigger, and the mojito was a perfect touch to a hot summer day.
Meanwhile, I kind of splurged and got the butterscotch pudding for dessert which was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING. I swear, the dessert was the real show stealer for me.
Would I return? Of course! The price is a bit high, but when your getting amazing service and good food, it's worth every penny. -

I've been meaning to come to Grace for awhile now since I've heard good things about it and Gallagher from Top Chef is the exec chef.
I didn't have reservations but the front patio was open so my friend and I were seated there.
The waiter was attentive and took the time to answer questions we had about the menu.
We shared:
Stuffed quail with seared foie gras ($36) - I tend to order quail if I see it on a menu since it's not a usual item and well, I love foie gras. The quail's stuffing reminded me of a turkey dinner's stuffing. It was great - had a homey feel to it. The quail was delicious with its slightly crispy skin and moist meat. The foie gras...oh I love foie gras. Did I mention that already? Seared with minimal seasoning - mmm...melt in your mouth.
Lamb pappardelle with charred eggplant & mustard greens - the pasta was a bit thinner than pasta I usually have at restaurants. It was good but I prefer pasta that's a bit thicker (I am a carb lover after all). Large chunks of fall apart lamb deliciousness that was not gamey at all. Didn't taste much of the eggplant but eggplant tends to absorb whatever it's in anyway. Great dish but having started with the quail, it pales in comparison.
This place didn't disappoint at all. -

Today is my hubby and my anniversary and for the past 3 years we have been going to Grace on this day for dinner. I'm so excited to have a good meal and celebrate at the place we met. I guess this is not so much a review as my excitement. :)

As an avid top chef fan, I'm on a quest to try out all the restaurants owned by the contestant. First on my list is Grace Restaurant, because the executive chef here is one of my favourite contestants (go Dustin!)
First of all, I love the simple and rustically charming décor. The use of pale, muted tones help to create a very relaxing dining atmosphere.
The menu here is described as "contemporary farmhouse cuisine". After a lengthy debate, I decided on the pork chop with braised dandelion, creamed corn, corn bread and homemade BBQ sauce, mainly because all the sides sounded so comforting and delicious. And delicious they were! I also greatly enjoyed the bacon wrapped carrots that sat atop the pork chop. However, what didn't impress me was the protein itself. Although the BBQ sauce was quite nice, I couldn't get past the tough and dry meat.
My companion ordered the veal tourtière with rhubard raisin relish. It reminded me of a shepherd's pie, which can never be a bad thing. The rhubard raisin relish was very tasty when paired with the pie. I wished that we were given more relish! On a side note, I loved the rustic presentation on the wooden chopping board.
As usual, I couldn't resist ordering dessert. It was a difficult decision, but in the end, I opted for the chocolate hazelnut tart with salted caramel ice cream. The tart reminded me of a mashed up Ferrero Rocher. It was very rich, but luckily I was sharing the dessert so it wasn't too overwhelming.
All in all, I enjoyed my meal at Grace, but regretted my entrée choice. -

3.5 stars.... I can describe the food as safe, tasty and straight forward.
Food by Canada's next top chef nominee was good. The quail was delicious and the salads were spot on I enjoy the ambiance and food at Grace. My second time here, I spent considerable more this time $185 for 2 cocktails, 3 apps and 2 mains. The service was prompt and friendly but our waitress did not have enough loudness when taking out order; quiet or shy. The roast beef was not warm enough and the meet did not blow me away. I will give four stars only because this location always gets me a spot with the ladies. Bring your lover to be and she will see.1 Previous Review: Show all »

My 300th review! Schweeeet.
Me, my husband and two other dining companions stumbled into Grace on a Friday evening, where they'd been able to grace-fully take us on super-short notice (Sidecar, our intended dining destination, had some sort of emergency which closed down the kitchen -- boo hoo!). The restaurant was full, and the first thing I noticed was the noise. It really bounces around in there when the house is full, so it's a little hard to have conversation. The decor, however, is cute -- modern shabby chic. It reminded me a lot of Dinette, one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle.
Anyway! On to the nomz. I started with the bufala mozzarella and charred radicchio salad, which I really enjoyed despite usually being down on radicchio. Charring it brings out a nice sweetness to it. Delish. For my main, I had the braised beef cheeks, which was a giganormo portion. Huge, but delicious: super tender, with melty and unctuous fattiness. YUM. For my taste, it could have used a more substantial starch than the little hash it came with; something to soak up the juices would have been lovely. Still, it was awesome.
Service was good, though due to the noise it was hard to hear the relatively soft-spoken server.
I definitely wouldn't mind coming back. -

What has happened to Grace? I have had dinner at Grace a half dozen times...the 1st 4 times were terrific (imaginative, very tasty good, good service) and the last 2 times in 2011 very very disappointing. We chalked up the 2nd last experience to an "off" night in the kitchen...food was bland with little taste. The last time...and this will definately be my last time going there for good....not only was the food mediocre (sweet pea & lobster ravioli, short ribs, salad), nothing standing out at all, but our waitress seemed completely uninterested in actually waiting on us. She didn't ask if we wanted another drink when she saw our wine glasses were empty, requests for refills of water fell on deaf ears, we sat with dirty plates in front of us after finishing our entrees for quite some time.
When our waitress finally made an appearance, we asked her to recommend a dessert. Big mistake. She strongly recommended the ice cream sandwich which was nearly impossible to eat as it was completely frozen and had a terrible taste after we sat and let it soften.
I have been terribly disappointed in Grace the past 2 visits and will not be returning. If you want a better dining experience in the area, go to Acadia or Frank's Kitchen instead. -

Not sure Grace needs another review but I haven't done one in a while so what the hey (or is that hay).
As everyone has said, the food at grace is scrumptious. This though was not apparent at first, as I was left wanting with our appetizers. My table shared the lobster ceviche and the the pork belly. The lemon and jalapenos in the ceviche overpowered everything; you couldn't taste the lobster. The pork belly was tasty, but I needed more of it to truly enjoy it (one order amongst three was not working....). Then our mains came and I was blown away.
I ordered the striploin and it was ridiculous. The sauce had so much depth and taste that I was discovering different flavours on every bite. Must had had something to do with the fois gras and chocolate in it.... My friend ordered the ricotta with mushrooms. They lightly dust the cheese in semolina flour and use it as a substitute for pasta. It was delicious. Like little pillows of goodness that burst in your mouth. If this dish is still on the menu when you go, I highly recommend it as its something completely different.
2 apps, 3 mains (2 of them were the striploin, the most expensive thing on the menu for $38), 3 house cocktails, 1 express and it all came out to $60 a head (with tip and tax). For what we had I'd say it's a pretty good deal. I do agree with Chris though, the restaurant was quite tamed, almost dead. If you want something a little more livelier, try cinq 01 next door. I admit the food is not on par, but it has a lot more character... -

There are two things I expect in a restaurant when I dine: 1) when I make a reservation I want my table ready on time 2) I want good food. On both fronts Grace, despite its divine leaning name, fell short.
My friends and I waited for 40 minutes for our table and when we finally got seated the waitress said we weren't allowed to order our appetizers and mains at different times because the kitchen was too busy. Oh I 'm sorry, I guess the kitchen assumed that it would be dead on a Saturday night, in the new hot spot in town.
Because the food was not exactly exciting, my table decided to make our own fun but apparently this establishment's clientele does not abide a group of girls having a gay old time. Rather, every time a giggle or squeak came from our table we were leered at by the not so yummy mommies next door.
IN OTHER WORDS:
Unless you are an aging divorcee looking to embitter yourself by waiting for a table, eating mediocre food, and finally topping off your evening by intimidating the younger girls at the table adjacent to you, this is not the place for you. If you fit into any other category of the human race then I suggest you park your tighter, happier and smaller behind some place else. -

I simply had to write a positive review about Grace upon seeing the poor ones that are offered here. I certainly feel for the patrons who had what looks to be a genuinely unsatsifying meal, but I have to say that this dining experience was perhaps my best of 2008!
We had a reservation and our table was set and ready to go despite our arriving a few minutes earlier. We were settled in and from the minute we were seated our server arrived to welcome us, and like the atmosphere, was all things friendly, warm, and anything but stuffy. A deliciously intimate setting warmed with subtle lighting and simple decor made it feel warm, relaxed, and just like we were at Jerry Seinfeld's farmhouse (that is, if he were to have a farmhouse, and more importantly, if I were to be invited to said farmhouse).
We started with a dozen osyters on the 1/2 shell to share, which were cool, smooth, and with the dressings, had a perfectly satisfying kick. And I don't even like oysters that much. But what can I say, the blissful mood of my surroundings turned me all gastro-'daredevil'.
For mains, we were presented with the halibut (for myself) and the beef steak for my dining partner. Nicely presented - modern, but without that whole contemporary-art-on-a-plate snobbery. What can I say? Everything was divine. Just imagine how good it could be, and it is. Chef Dustin does his work wonderfully here.
The real treat of the evening is the dessert, where the idea of "simple country goes uptown" comes full-circle. We went with the highly recommended cookies and milk (by our attentive server, of course), and it was a delight to watch as he poured organic Harmony milk out of its quaint country-style bottle and into a glass for us. From here on in, it was all about dunking and savouring the oven fresh, melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Bliss.
Thus, while I can completely sympathize with my fine fellow Yelpers, I suggest giving this place a shot. If your experience is anything like mine, it will be a dining experience you shall be smiling back on for a long time. -

Grace is quite possibly one of my favorite local restaurants! I've been three times, and I've found the wait staff to be friendly, and knowledgeable; the décor to be clean and romantic; and the food to be delicious and in-season.
The menu varies with each season, so it's easy to visit more then once. The portions can be on the smaller side, so be sure to ask the waiter if you're concerned.
I highly recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant does fill-up fast. If it's warm out, ask to be seated in their courtyard; if it's winter, ask to be seated by their corner window! Great place to impress a loved one- Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were seen canoodling here last Summer, pre-breakup.
If you're a big group, reserve their upstairs room- it's perfect for an intimate group dinner. -

We got the corner booth tonight for 3 and I rather enjoyed it! The chicken pate, persimmons salad were great starters. I enjoyed the Monk Fish with chorizo. We also ordered the pork chop but that wasn't memorable.
The most memorable for me about Grace is the Gnocchi - I've never had it so tender/chewy/flavourful! -
Review from Keith B.

I took my parents here a few weeks ago and I can honestly say that this is one of the the best meals I've had in 2009.
The restaurant itself is very nice (more casual than some but still nice) and open. One thing that pleased me is that the tables were an adequate distance apart from each other to give some privacy.
The service here was fantastic. My mom usually asks a tonne of questions about how dishes are prepared and where the ingredients are from. The server we had was very friendly, patient, not pretentious at all and above all very knowledgeable.
Another thing I liked about this place was that the drinks were reasonably priced. Each of us had a few drinks and then a bottle of wine, and the bill was still very reasonable. Also, my mom had a cocktail (I believe it was a shot of vodka in a fruli with fresh blueberries) which she ordered on the server's recommendation and really enjoyed!
Of course, the best thing about this place is the food. We split the chicken liver pate as an appetizer which was insanely delicious and surprislingly just enough for three people (though it could easily be split between two). As a main I had the gnocchi, which is hands down the best I've ever had. The portions are small, however they are very filling and even more delicious. My mom had the port steak and my dad a pasta dish. I tried both, and they were great (but not as good as the gnocchi!). For desert we split a slice of rhubarb pie - for the record, I don't usually like pie - which was fresh and not too sweet.
All in all, a fantastic experience. I will definitely come back here again. -

Grace is one of the best restaurants in Toronto right now. Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and intuitive. The service here, in general, is impeccable. Our wine glasses were never empty and we were made to feel very welcome. Great wine list, too!
On to the food. My clam chowder was incredible. Rather than the usual heavy creaminess, this one is foamed up to create something unexpectedly light and heavenly. The roast duck is also delicious, accompanied by very thinly sliced potatoes which are fried to a crisp in duck fat. I finished with a lemon tart that cut through all the fatty goodness I just finished eating. I'd like to tell you what my girlfriend had but I was completely consumed by my food.
It's worth mentioning that they have a room upstairs, too, that is far more relaxed - they do a TV Dinner night on Thursdays. This is an absolutely fantastic restaurant that is doing everything right! -

I really like this restaurant!
The decor reminds me of an intimate, cozy Soho restaurant, with soft turquoise walls, dim lighting and waitresses dressed in pure white shirts.
The food is great - I haven't had a single dish here I didn't like. And they consistently manage to impress me with their slightly different take on classics - the clam chowder is light and foamy, and the gnocchi is light and fluffy. I find their food fresh, original and tasty!
My favourite has got to be the duck -- so tender, juicy and flavourful! The potatoes on the side are crispy and taste like chips.
I also find the portions generous, especially their appetizers. The clam chowder and crispy pork belly is almost big enough to be a meal in itself. However, I do have to admit I don't eat that much. I'm always stuffed and don't have room for dessert - which is too bad, because I've heard their desserts are also great!
It's a bit pricey, with the meat mains around $32, and appetizers around $12. So it's not an everyday restaurant, but great place to impress a date or for a special occasion! -

I'd heard so much about this place, and decided to finally check it out one night. It took more than 5 minutes to be greeted by a host at the door, as she was busy serving as well. The waiter we had, told us about the specials, but mixed up details, so when we ordered one of the specials that he said came with scallops, it showed up with clams instead.
The appetizer, which was chicken pate, was good, but the presentation was poor, and the crisps were not suitable for it, with massive holes in the centre of each from poor baking and limited actual spreading surface. We also had the gnocchi and the seafood linguini. The gnocchi was over-run with rosemary, and the portion was very small. Again, presentation lacking. The linguini was under-flavoured, and came with 3 shrimp and a few clams, which on their own seemed to have not been seasoned what-so-ever. The linguini noodles themselves were light and delicate, but the sauce was nothing special (I've had better at East Side Mario's), and again, the portions were very small. Had they offered a 5 course menu, the portions would have made sense to me, from what I've experienced at other restaurants of this nature.
We ended up being served by THREE different waiters by the end of the evening, which I've never had happen in a restaurant of this level before. Not once were we made to feel special that evening. We didn't even want to order dessert, which we'd been initially looking forward to, because we were so put off by the experience. We had heard this place was all about charm, but there was nothing charming about our dinner experience at Grace.

I went back to Grace after a year last week and a lot more than the menu had changed. I was meeting my friend's bf for the first time and I wanted the venue to be great. It turned out to be the most tedious evening ever. The difficulty in getting a table should have been an indication - I was told that I could get a table at 7:30pm and they need to turn it around at 9:30pm. I understand that restaurants need to make money but being this up front about it makes one feel very unwelcome. Once we arrived, we were seated between two crowded tables and barely had any elbow room. No sooner had we been seated the host came by to ask us for our wine order and kept coming back every five minutes till we finally ordered. We felt rushed and bullied. Once we started ordering we realized the menu had completely and all the comfort food Grace is known such as the corn chowder with crab fitters for was MIA. When I asked about it I was snarkily told off. What was even more surprising was that half the stuff on the current menu was not available either and they had substitutes that didn't sound great. I ordered the lobster and at $39 it was the most expensive dish on the menu. It tasted ok but the portion was small and the lobster was definitely overdone.
Grace's key differentiator was the warmth in it's food an ambience. Unfortunately it no longer has that on it's menu or in the host. Time to move on - adieu Grace.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Bryan T.
2/12/2010
It was a rainy, dreary, almost miserable night in Toronto. My local friends/coworkers made reservations at this establishment called "Grace", located on a busy street with diverse pubs and shops.
We got out of the cold and wet and into a wide, comfortable booth. The atmosphere in Grace is refreshing. There is ample space between tables, and for what dimensionally is probably a small and skinny room, it's very airy and bright. The perfect environs to sit back and then dive in to superbly crafted food and drink. And so we did...
The menu items are composed of simple ingredients. I think the description I've read is "Farmhouse Cuisine". I imagine that's accurate because the meats are seasoned very simply, and at the same time are almost unrealistically flavorful, bold, and juicy. My girlfriend ordered a dish that included beef cheeks - which was some of the most succulent tasting beef I've ever had. I actually cannot even remember my own appetizer - probably a halibut that was also tender and delicious - but the beef cheeks I just can't get out of my head.
We had a very enjoyable meal and the portion size with our small plates (beautiful salads) and entrees was such that there was no room for dessert.
Service was perfect - not overbearing, but always with polite suggestions and nicely timed water refills. They also allowed us to split the bill 3 ways for a party of 4, and we were very appreciative of that. Price is high, but this is the kind of restaurant that demands the cost of luxury.
It was a disappointment to exit Grace and stumble back into the rainy street. If I had another bottle of wine I could have slept in the booth. But alas, all good things must come to an end. -

Grace...what can I say?!? This small and tastefully designed restaurant is a true Toronto gem. I have been a few times and am always blown away with the quality of the food served. Yes I pay the price, because the food here is not cheap. However there are only a few eateries that I would say are worth the money, and this my friends is one of those places.
If you get the chance try the game hen, fully deboned and stuffed with homemade stuffing. This meal is fit for two and melts in your mouth and the side potatoes are also to die for. -

I'm going to try a new point form review for speed and funness.
PROS:
- Great atmosphere
- Patio
- Rear mini garden / patio (so nice!)
- Super nice staff. They are also attractive. It helps.
- I went in shorts and flip flops. I felt a little underdressed but the staff certainly did not make me feel it.
- Good food, although it could have been served a little hotter for my taste.
- Super desserts / cheeses. Yum yum!
- Wine by the glass, 1/2 glass or bottle. They offer around 30 - 40 different wines if I remember correctly.
- Offer vegetarian choices
CONS:
- Back garden patio is always full / reserved. Book a table.
- Tables fill up if you're a late dinner type of person. (although that might be a good thing. Would you really eat at an empty restaurant?)
- Price is high, but not insane.
Would I go back? Yes.
Would I suggest my friends go? Yes.
Did I enjoy the duck? Yes. -
Review from Jennie B.

Yay! I was so pleasantly surprised last night to have a great meal in their upstairs lounge at the bar. It was around 8 PM and we did not have a reservation for 2. Instead, we went up to the bar, where it was not noisy or crowded and was able to order the full menu. We had the fish chowder which was delectable. A creamy broth and 3 beautiful dumplings that had fish and I think, green peas. We both also had the make-shift special (apparently, the kitchen will come up with new dishes not on their petite menu when something on their petite menu sells out). It was a beef ragu on pappardelle. I did not expect the beef ragu to be tender pieces of braised beef and for such a good bounty of pappardelle in a tomato based sauce. The pleasant surprise I got from an early bite was the garlic - they used whole cloves of garlic that were boiled or something first and then added to the sauce and they delivered such a nice sweetness and non-bitter-tang that garlic can bring. For dessert, I had the cookies with milk - I can't resist a good cookie and there were 3 kinds of cookies, 2 each! A half a dozen all for me! And my husband ordered the coconut lime cream pie which was also very well crafted. We had alcohol with our meal and with tip and tax we were just under $150 for the whole meal. It was great and I'd definitely go back to sit up at the lounge. The actual restaurant is small and crowded and definitely noisy.

Review from Denise S.

Went for the first time a few days ago. I had read lots of glowing reviews and Grace did not disappoint. The space is small and warm, simply decorated with some old photos. Our waitress informed us of several changes to the menu, as the chef was "inspired by the nice weather". I opted for the ricotta gnudi. Portion was a bit on the small side, but probably better that way as the dish was quite rich. Gnudi is similar to gnocchi but with less potato/pasta and more cheese. Pure, melt-in-your-mouth goodness... For dessert, I had the banana cake which was moist and drizzled with chocolate sauce and served with chocolate ice cream.
My friends were also happy with their meals, except one ordered the crispy pork belly appetizer and did not realize that it would mostly be fatty meat. My other friend had the daily special, large prawns with avocado and mango salsa. Delicious! For mains, they had the Halibut (pretty large piece, actually) and Pork Chops with apple terrine.
Service was attentive, although timing was a bit off (brought our appetizers very quickly and then a very looooong wait for our mains). Another thing I noticed is that they serve wine by the 1/2 glass, glass, or bottle. With three people who don't drink that much, I usually like to get a half litre and wished they had that option. All in all, a very pleasant meal though. -

I visited Grace for a family gathering and was quite happy overall with the service. The food was delicious, the drinks were good, and the dessert was good. However, the waiter was somewhat aggressive. He was very pushy in getting our order and telling us about the menu, rather then letting us dictate the pace of the evening. Granted this was his fault, not the restaurant, it still bothered me. Otherwise a great night!

Went to Grace for my friend's Birthday. We arrived 5 min early and asked if our table was ready. The hostess told us that they were in the process of clearing it. We asked if we could wait by the bar upstairs, but she told us that there was a private function going on, so we had to wait at the entrance. About 10 min later, she came to get us and showed us to our table. We reserved a table for 4 at the back of the restaurant. The area was really cute and it felt like we were sitting outside because the roof was raised, so the fresh, warm air was nice. The restaurant itself is very cute and welcoming inside. Our waitress seemed to be in a world of her own (since it was a late dinner, she might have been tired or who knows, but every time we asked a question or something, she seemed distracted). She was nice though! We ordered a bottle of wine and 2 appetizers to share: lobster civiche & proscuto, melon, & ricotta salata salad. Both were tasty and the presentation was great. My 2 friends ordered lobster ravioli and the waitress told us that they ran out. Not a good sign! So my friends had to change our order. While waiting for our appetizers to arrive, we asked for some bread, which was very fresh, crusty and warm, yum! However, 30 min later our appetizers still havent arrived. We asked what was taking so long and the waitress kept going into the kitchen to check. Maybe because of the private function, the service was very slow. We finally got our appetizers and then had to wait an 1 for our mains! Once they arrived they looked really good. We ordered gnudi with cherry tomatoes, which looked and tasted delicious! Best gnudi i have ever tried so far, so I will definitely would like to come back to try them them again. We also ordered lamb pasta, which was tasty, but they went wild on black pepper! It was overpowering and it felt like I was biting into black pepper with every bite. Overall, the place is very cute, not too loud, with a romantic atmosphere. The food is good, and the prices are reasonable. Oh and another thing, we brought our own cake for my friend's Birthday, and they told us that they would charge us $4 each for our own cake, but since we waited so long for our food, they took that charge off.
