Came here for my first time this past weekend. I ordered the blackened Salmon which is about 25 dollars. Never in my life have I been to a restaurant where I had to wait 15 minutes after receiving my dish simply for silverware. While about 2/3rds of my table ordered things like tacos and burgers, and I had to sit there for 15 literal minutes to wait for someone on staff to bring me a fork. By the time I got my silverware my asparagus and rice were cold. My salmon was lukewarm. No one paying over 20 dollars for a hot meal should be left waiting that long to be able to eat it. I had to sit there watching the majority of the rest of my table dive into their food while I just stared at my plate starving. I know rice is not the most flavorful thing on the planet but my rice was dry, and cold, and my asparagus (which the ends of the asparagus were also not snapped off which is the most basic first step you do when cooking asparagus) was cold by the time I finally got a fork. My salmon had absolutely no seasoning and no flavor to it. Blackened salmon is still supposed to have flavor which it lacked severely. Someone across me had ordered Mac and cheese and he also had to wait the same amount of time to receive a fork and his food was cold by the time we were finally given forks. The majority of the people on my left of the table did not even finish their meals out of dissatisfaction, including the plate directly to my left which was a chicken sandwich that was extremely over cooked and rubbery. We had a rather big table outside as we were celebrating a birthday there. The entire experience was rather disappointing. I also had someone on the other side of the table have to ask for a glass of water three times in a row waiting at least also 15 to 20 minutes before she received it. I understand the restaurant was full, and was told by others who have been there previously it was very clearly an off night. However an off night does not excuse waiting 15 minutes after I received my plate to receive the proper silverware to eat to it with, without so much as an “I apologize for the inconvenience” I’ve worked at a restaurant in Minneapolis that was very similarly sized with the same layout of this building and we would never allow a guest to sit with a plate of food in front of them that long without their silverware. While I assume this is not normal for this restaurant, I would have genuinely appreciated an apology from any single staff member for having to sit and watch everyone else around me eat while I had to wait, especially for a meal that costs over 20 dollars. No apology was given when we finally did receive our silverware and that alone was disappointing and rather unprofessional. Mistakes happen, and an acknowledgment of that mistake is all it would have taken for me to not feel the need to leave a low rated review. I wish it was a better experience because I would like to return as a customer, but I unfortunately assume this review will go on ignored. Absolutely disappointed in the low quality of food and service for the cost of the experience. Even now however, a simple acknowledgment or apology would cause me to possible reconsider spending my money here in the future. I do understand the pressures and stresses of being busy in this industry but the lack of acknowledgment, the lack of quality in my food, and the lack of receiving a simple fork in a timely fashion was just absolutely absurd. Thank you.

I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a bar and been happy about deafeningly loud live music. Walked right out.

I sat at the bar for about 15-20 minutes before the bartender served the guy next to me who had just got there and then he finally got to me. I figured i would treat myself and get the wagyu burger and ordered it medium rare. When i cut into it there was zero pink in the middle and it looked super dry. Then as i bit into it the bun was toasted so much it was like biting into a crouton. Those two factors made for an almost inedible burger. The sweet potato fries were great and pretty much the only thing i ate. Not worth the money i dont think i will be back.

We visited early on a weekday evening and left just before the live music. Next time we will stay. The restaurant has an extensive dinner menu and well as an extensive drink menu. I really appreciated the number of IPAs and Hazy IPAs from local breweries. Our party ordered the Shepard pie, shrimp tacos, and chimichurri steak with potatoes and salad. The Shepard Pie was really good! Our server, Christopher, was attentive and fun.

Gracie’s is THE place to be. Really cool atmosphere and the live music is incredible! We got to see the Dopamine Machine and those guys are the pure talent.
Keep in mind parking is paid but there is plenty of parking right next to Gracie’s.
Thank you Gracie’s for the heating panels 🥹 They allowed me to enjoy a little longer!
Good decent bar food. Fun environment. Great selection of cold beer. Service was given by employees there just to earn a paycheck, nothing more. From the host to the bartender. Almost felt like we were bothering them. Almost felt like we were bothering them. Will go back, maybe just a bad shift.
