Farmhouse Fare
Rated this place:
It's taken me just under a year to do it, but I finally followed the hype to Grace Restaurant on College for a much-needed date with homestyle cooking (and my man). Grace owner Leslie Gibson, who named the restaurant after her grandmother, has created a refreshing space that pays homage to homespun elegance. The menu is divided into three sections: meat, vegetable, and seafood - and I recommend ordering a good cross-section of it if you can. The winners of our night were the chicken noodle consomme accompanied by homeade cheddar crackers, seared scallops with braised beans and oven dried tomatoes, and the slow-cooked halibut with roasted vegetables. Grace's dessert of homemade cookies with organic milk gets lots of buzz, but try the brownie if you have the room - you won't believe how good it is! Grace manages to combat any hints of fine-dining stuffiness with its second floor cabin-esque bar, appropriately called Grace Upstairs. You'll find the same dark hardwood and airy atmosohere as downstairs, and some fabulous specialty drinks.
