Editorial Review for Grace – by Tara de Lis

The Scene
A study in warm brown and green earth tones, lounge and restaurant alike are tastefully stylish and buzz with the din of industry braggadocio, gossiping girlfriends and couples flirting in not-so-quiet voices. Friendly servers impart extensive menu and wine list knowledge.

The Food
Chef Neal Fraser (Deep and Rix) infuses New American comfort food with unusual sauces and glitzy sides. Starters satiate without spoiling appetites: The minty sprout-laden Dungeness crab salad is divine, while somewhat-dry whole quail disappoints. Entrees are particularly solid: Wild boar tenderloin transcends the chewiness typically associated with the gamey dish, an experience further heightened by the popcorn-like flavor of Brussels sprouts and delicate spaetzle. The transcendental aromatic salmon in sweet garlic nage is another stellar feat. For desserts, opt for the rich chocolate gateau with bananas Foster or the crispy warm cajeta pudding; skip the gooey souffle and the bland chocolate silk tarte.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

The banquettes along the east wall offer respite from too-bright track lighting, and table 60 in the back room affords dual bench seating.

Parking

Use the $4.50 valet to avoid the parking situation on Beverly and restricted surrounding neighborhoods.

The Extras

Reserve the back room for parties--curtain it off for privacy.

User Reviews for Grace

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

really.... this place wowed us, and no place ever 'wows' us flat out! you need to come here on any 1st date. starting w/ the the decor, it's a high-end/clean/classy/& very stylish atmosphere... patrons appear to be 'professional' upper-crust types who really know & appreciate fine-cuisine (& just good food in general). the menu impresses you as the chef knows how to entice your taste buds w/ an eclectic choice of meats (such as wild boar & venison- not just your run of the mill 'steak/fish/or chicken') and does surprisingly delightful things to such unpopular vegetables like beets or watercress. take my word for it- you'll sure to please even the royalty w/ the utmost refined palettes by dining here. even the servers appear to really know their stuff- maybe b/c they're all 'actor' types or something, but they do a good job convincing you they actually wanna be there. overall, everything is up to par: the food is delicious, atmosphere & crowd are impressive, has chic and contemporary/stylish decor, the servers are great, and the money worth spending.

Pros: WAY up to par

Cons: none

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The so called, "Heather Watson" is perhaps the epic of artificial people here in Los Angeles. The food is greasy, expensive and heavy. The worst catering service around. If you are planing on a private catered party, think twice before calling these people.

Pros: parking

Cons: over priced
