Why go
The Grace is worth booking when the brief is a polished Shaw gastropub: cocktails, oysters, and Modern American comfort food in a lively, smart-casual room. At $35 per person, it works especially well for date nights, groups, after-work plans, brunch, and late-night meals, but it is less suited to quiet dinners, outdoor seating, or allergy-sensitive dining.
