| - 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.
