The menu was awful it was not soul food or anything close it was just mozzarella sticks pizza and a burger. I have been to this restaurant several times and this was the wordt. Are you getting ready to close? My party did not even stay to have drinks because we were so disappointed

I thought this was a soul food restaurant but it was a wing and burger place. It seemed like there was only 1 waiter at our 6:50pm dining experience. He was very tentative as every time he walked by he said are we okay. Food and appetizers came out at the same time and he immediately dropped the food and left. So u couldn’t ask for any condiments for the burger or fries that I got. Drinks were great, food was okay as the fries were cold, and the burger I got had tomatoes on it. I informed him had a tomato allergy. The atmosphere had great music and it seems nice and calm.

I went with my sister and best friend. We had higher expectations. My friend had been to the restaurant in the casino last year and stated it was great. The menu was very limited and there are no live performances anymore according to staff. We watched people come in and walk out. I would not call this a “soul food” place at all. No cornbread, no collar greens, no sweet potato, no black eyed peas, no mac and cheese. Very disappointed overall. They need to step up their game. Will not be returning. We were also told they have had many menu changes. Don’t waste your time unless you want a good drink.

Three of us were meeting after two years and my friend from Hartford had heard about Grace by Nia because of the live music and soul food. We were greatly disappointed as the server told us they had discontinued the live music and soul food about a month ago. The recorded tape was great and the volume at conversation level. The setting/atmosphere was really great. Unfortunately the remaining few menu items were basic burger type food. We had one round of drinks and headed to Cedars for their Calamari, Beef Short Ribs, Double-Cut Pork Chops and Potato Encrusted Flounder. It was all Excellent! The warm bread basket and chef-made butter included an amazing cranberry biscuit. It would have been a perfect 4 hour evening if Grace had a much better food selection.....

We had an excellent experience at this restaurant. It started when I sent an email a week before we went to ask questions about food allergies our party had, specifically nuts, peas and shellfish. We received an email that no nuts or peas were in their ingredients and they could accommodate us. She made us a reservation and when we arrived before we could even tell the server about the allergies, he already had the information attached to the ticket. He even came out to ask about cross contact with shrimp on a grill which was above and beyond how we are treated at most restaurants. Compliments to the servers, the kitchen staff, and the employee that handled the reservation for taking that so seriously. Aside from that the food was great, the vibe was awesome and there was some great music playing with dinner. The staff were all friendly and professional. We stayed for about 3 hours and had a great time. Would definitely go back. Thank you for making the night fun and safe for us.

My friends and i were very excited to try this place but it ended up being really disappointing. Live music was supposed to come on at 7:30p, but didn’t. Our server came twice - got our 1 order of drinks and then food. Took us an hour and a half to get both. Manager came over and made an excuse that they planned in closing and then didn’t because it got busy, which it wasn’t. Also, they forgot something we ordered. Maybe it was a bad night but either way, it sucked and disappointing. It made me not want to come back.
You don’t have live music. You were severely short staffed and food / drinks came out sporadically. No apology. You just said that the restaurant was going thru changes. The menu is by no means southern. You share a kitchen with high rollers.

Myself along with 14 friends Who booked this place to celebrate my birthday. We were served a children's menu. Literally chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks because their usually soul food Wasn't available at all!
Why wouldn't you warn a party of 15 people about such a massive change in the menu? Unfortunately we were stuck eating there because of our party size?
The experience was truly awful to say the least. We all left the restaurant feeling beyond disappointed.

A great find! We will be back, for sure! John, the bartender made amazing drinks! The chicken tenders and fries were delicious, and perfectly prepared with very generous portions. Our server Cesar was spectacular, far above what you experience in many other places these He was friendly, very polite, and extremely attentive. All around perfect experience at Grace by Nia!!!

We celebrated our anniversary at Grace by Nia and had an unforgettable night! The atmosphere was elegant and vibrant, the staff was amazing, and the food was perfect! We loved the empanadas and blackened salmon with rice pilaf. Our wonderful waitress surprised us with dessert for our special night, and Natasha’s live music set the perfect mood. A truly memorable date night!
