Un viaggio gastronomico tra innovazione e tradizione nella città di Chicago.

Menu degustazione esclusivi: Flora e Fauna

I menu di Grace sono un’esplorazione di sapori unici e raffinati. Il menu Flora propone piatti vegetariani come segmenti di agrumi Satsuma glassati con zucchero affumicato paprika e funghi maitake con salsa al caffè. Il menu Fauna, invece, è dedicato agli amanti della carne e del mare, con specialità come granchio reale dell’Alaska, faraona e capesante.

Grace era rinomato per la sua atmosfera elegante e sofisticata, ideale per cene romantiche o incontri di lavoro. Offriva anche un servizio di prenotazione obbligatoria, un bar completo, parcheggio valet e un dress code che elevava l’esperienza gastronomica a livello di arte. La carta dei vini era molto apprezzata, rendendo ogni visita un’esperienza completa e di alta classe.

Purtroppo, la storia di Grace si è conclusa il 20 dicembre 2017, quando il ristorante ha chiuso le sue porte dopo la partenza dello chef Curtis Duffy e del manager generale Michael Muser.

My favorite part of the whole experience was the synchronized water pouring right at the beginning. The two gentleman did it with a flourish and made such a mundane act really delightful.
I was not to happy with some of the flavors and the use of smoke as a flavor elements in the first two courses. Also, the course in the cup that break the top too was too sweet.

Very depressing that it is now closed, but I will still provide my review:

Very positive experience here at Grace. We were able to take pictures with the chef and hear his story, and how exceptional it was to receive his 3rd star, and so quickly.

The venue is definitely very romantic, professional, and dark. We were lucky to get a full tour of the basement where the chefs hung out also. Why I rate this place 5 stars versus other Michelin 3 stars which I rate 4 stars is because of their service. You feel like you connect with the chef, they tell you their stories, show you their home, and do what they can to make the experience exceptional. We were even able to hang out in the kitchen to see how things were cooked!

The wine pairing was exceptionally delicious. After, you get an amazing buzz and wanting more. As for the food, it was definitely top notch. Their choices of meat are fresh, their soup is uniquely made and tastes good, and everything was just beautiful.

I had a blast and hope to visit again.
