Emily was out waitress and she was so pleasant and accommodating! She made our experience at Grace restaurant absolutely wonderful! Amazing drinks and food! Spectacular and beautiful atmosphere ! We will be back every time we come to visit our daughter at Penn State!

I give service 5 stars, and food a 1 star. Food was quite nasty. Specifically the brisket dish. There was a lot of animal fat still connected, which gave me an aversion to the food. The salad had older leaves which were very bitter. Dear chefs in America, please learn from other countries. The basis of any good dish, is high quality ingredients. I was in Turkey, and they had mint in their salads. Normally I would have said no, but because their mint was so fresh and appropriate, I ate it with delight! The pavlova you serve can a good meringue, but please lose the cream you serve it with. Go back to the original recipe. Plain white whipped cream (homemade), is how pavlovas are served with. Your food is not worth its prices. The end.

The soft music no tvs (except 1 in the bar area) Had a Royal Manhattan very smooth the seating is so comfortable. Had the two specials, oysters rockefeller and mushroom ravioli in a butter sauce (a new thing for me) delicious. top it off with 3 Key Lime dessert you just have to order it so I won't spoil the surprise.

The wait staff were wonderful and they comped 2 meals that were inedible. Not sure who the chef was, but we had 2 bad meals there. I have stayed at Carnegie House four times this summer and this is the first time the food was very poor. The staff, though, made up for it and promised to pass our information on the chef. I hope they can clear this up because it is a fantastic hotel, the staff are marvelous, and it would be a shame to have their food be the downfall of the restaurant.

Excellent meal. Tuna appetizer and beet salad both special. Bronzino wonderful main. Great service.
Nancy
Beautiful to sit outside with an amazing view. Outside wooden chairs have no cushions but badly need them. Service was kind but so slow and understaffed we decided not to return the next night as planned. Food is very good!!

Food was pretty good no real complaints. I thought the menu was pretty small but for restaurants like these you should expect it. We went at 7pm on a Saturday night during the summer time and there was only 3 tables of people so pretty quiet. The ambiance is nice and can definitely seem like a better atmosphere with more people. Overall I recommend but be prepared to spend a pretty penny.

We really enjoyed our dinner last night at grace. The menu is so much better than it was a few years ago which was the last time we dined there. Excellent service and everything we ordered was delicious.

We've had a number of dinners at Grace so it was not hard to convince our foodie friends from California to join us. The brisket and chicken dishes got excellent reviews. The two of us who ordered the Steak Frites, were woefully disappointed. The beef had good flavor, but tons of fat and mostly it just lukewarm. Very disappointing for a restaurant that typically we have found to be excellent. It even a bit embarrassing as we had raved about Grace to our fiends of many years who are true and well traveled foodies!
The staff at Grace are outstanding. We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it extra special. Emily, Steve and Paul went above and beyond to make the evening special. The service, food, and ambiance made our anniversary truly grand. Thank you to all of them.

The ambiance and service was excellent. The food was not what I expected. The amuse Bouche was cold and had no flavor. The crab cake was very nice and full of crab but I didn't like the spice in the crab cake and the sauce. The bronzino was cooked well and the best thing was the pearl cous cous. It was very tasty with cherry tomatoes. My husband's steak was rare as requested but didn't have much flavor and was dry rather than juicy. The food was disappointing.

I am never disappointed when I go to Grace- it always provides me a night to remember. Just delicious!

This is a beautiful high end french restaurant. A great place for a special occasion. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service is awesome. We had Jumbo Lump Clampcake and Warm Goat Cheese salad for starters. The salad was good but the clamp cake was not impressive. Then, we had New York Strip and Sole Meuniere for entrees. The NY strip was tasty but the fish was lame. It came with a delicious pasta but we had to add salt to eat the fish. The desserts were the highlight of the night (they shouldn't be). All in all, the food was not so impressive, it felt short for the price.

Food was fantastic. Service terrible. Waited too long for service throughout the evening. Did not have water filled or drink order taken for ? 15 minutes after being seated. At one point, was told "kitchen was backed" up (only 8 other people in restaurant). Gentleman at the door was great, matre d' excellent. Server very poor. Have been going to this restaurant for 35 years. Last night was extremely disappointing.
