I went to Grit & Grace on Friday for a colleague's goodbye celebration. I thought the cocktails were solid, the vibe was energetic, and the service spot on. But I'd give the dishes I ordered only 3 stars. So I bumped up my rating to 4 stars.
I'd definitely go back. The ladies sitting right next to me ordered what looked like an awesome spread with a lot of vegetarian options and from the looks of it, they really enjoyed it.
I may have ordered the wrong dishes which were the spicy prawn papaya salad and mortadella steam buns. The papaya salad was really bland and lacked the pungent goodness of fish sauce. I'm familiar with this salad from my days traveling in Thailand, so I was a bit disappointed when the dish delivered such lackluster flavor. Loved that it was served with whole prawns though.
The mortadella steamed bun frightened me because it looked like a slab of spam between a bun. Ouff. The flavors were tasty nonetheless, but as the saying goes "you eat with your eyes first".
