I went to Grit & Grace for valentine's day brunch with a bunch of my friends. Our reservation was for 10:40 and we arrived at 10:30 with the restaurant being mostly empty.
The reservation had been made a few weeks in advance and because of the size of our party (about 15 people), we were asked to pre-order our food. This was a great move by the restaurant's part because everything went really smoothly and there was no fuss over ordering. The one turn off to hosting brunch here was the ridiculous corkage fee. It was $20 per bottle and for a mimosa brunch of 15 people, the cost of simply opening the bottles in the restaurant was going to cost us an extra $60 not including the cost of the champagne and orange juice. Upon learning this we decided to go without the mimosas for the table and people ordered their own. I ordered a mimosa when I got there and was charged $12 for one which is pretty expensive considering you can get unlimited mimosas at most restaurants for $13-$15. The one saving grace to their mimosas was that they were 3/4 champagne and 1/4 orange juice.
When we arrived at the restaurant, the service was a little unfriendly, the girl taking our coats for the coatcheck looked incredibly unhappy and was pretty cranky the whole time we were there which was kind of a turn off at the beginning. But everyone quickly got over that when the food came out. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the French road and was floored by how amazing the flavor was. Everything from the oatmeal to the farmer's breakfast to the banana rum pancakes was delicious.
I probably wouldn't come back here with a group given how put-upon the servers looked by having a party larger than 4 people there, but would definitely go back to try some of their dim sum and noodles.
