I went to Grace with a group of colleagues while in Fort Worth for a business conference. I was very impressed with the atmosphere of the restaurant as well as the food. The service was extremely impressive and every need was met before you even asked. It was an excellent place for us to "talk shop" but it had a certain energy and we were quickly having a great time with lots of laughter even though we'd just met and this was somewhat of a business meeting. We got a lot accomplished while having a great time and eating fabulous food! This would be a prime spot for a romantic night out or a fancy night out with friends. Made me wish I lived in Fort Worth so I could go more often. Luckily I'll be traveling back for another meeting with that group in a couple of months, and look forward to going back to Grace!

Last week, my wife and I decided to dine at Grace for a more romantic weekend. The waitstaff was excellent. The wine recommended for my wife was excellent, as was mine. The shrimp appetizer was fantastic. I should have ordered a double helping for my entree. Just before our main course was served, the fie alarm in the building went off. The manager made a quick pass by the tables to inform everyone there was construction on the 4th floor & it was a false alarm (the restaurant is on the ground floor). The entree were served. I had a steak with caramelized onions and mushrooms - excellent. I also got a sauce of espresso & horseradish. The onions were so flavorful, the sauce (which I had served on the side) was lost in the robust flavors. My wife had a pasta dish (vegetarian) and she loved it. Oh, I forgot. The alarm went off & on for over 40 minutes. It was loud & irritating. The waitstaff apologized but, if I was management, I would have 'comped' desserts or after dinner drinks. We left our 20% tip but the romance was gone!

We had a really lovely evening - wonderful food served in a classy atmosphere. We started our culinary adventure with the Berkshire Babyback Ribs and the Burrata Mozarella; followed by the superb Shaved Asparagus Salad; topped off with excellently prepared Scallops. There was no way for us to consume another bite!

Two small items, having nothing to do with the food, took away a bit from our evening (hence the Very Good rating rather than Excellent):

1) We had a 6:00 weeknight reservation and the restaurant was not crowded, but we were seated at the table nearest the front door, on a chilly evening. An interior table would have been appreciated;
2) We alerted our server that we had 7:30 theater reservations and that we were counting on him to keep us on schedule. He assured us there would be no problem; however, when he delivered our (extraordinarily good) salads at 6:45, we asked if we were doing okay on time. He then disclosed that he is not allowed to have his cellphone out in the restaurant and that he didn't know what time it was. We felt that we had to rush through salad and entree (delivered at 7:00) and scurry the two blocks to the theater. Perhaps there is some better way for a restaurant of this caliber to help their waitstaff to keep patrons on schedule.

Grace is a wonderful restaurant and we will definitely go back. Fort Worth is fortunate that Adam has "graced" us with his delightful venue.

A wonderful dining experience. The chef is truly an artist. Every dish was a masterpiece—each one beautiful to behold and delicious to eat. And the staff is supremely professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Perhaps the perfect combination of world class dining but without any pretense.
