Grazia Italian Kitchen

First time trying the restaurant, we went for Saturday brunch. Due to several large parties we had to wait a bit for the table with room for the high chair. However the bar area had plenty of seats. The chicken and waffle was so so, waffle was tasty but the two small chicken strips left something to be desired. The crab cake Benedict was good. The home made breakfast sausage was cold and bland. We may try the speak easy for drinks only next time.

The first couple times I went to this place the food was delicious and the servings were generous. Since then the quality has declined slightly and the servings have been significantly reduced. While I wouldn't go for a $40 steak here, they have good happy hour deals and the pasta dishes are still decent.

The bread and herbed oil was reason enough to dine at Grazia, but my daughter and I loved both of our meals. I had the Mike & Jen, a delicious combination of grilled chicken, garlic, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers, tossed in a decadent Romano cream sauce. I eat and drink here regularly, good basic Italian and nice bar. This particular evening I ordered a special with lobster and supposedly wagyu beef. The lobster was good, grilled and not too dry. Oh my goodness it was yummy! Our server was attentive and friendly, too.

Love the decor and atmosphere.
Service was excellent.
Food served hot, very good, had the brick oven pizza.

It wasn't living up to the hype for me. We were there at about 2pm on a Friday for lunch. I was underwhelmed by service. Dark ambiance was more suitable for dinner. Smoky smell due to wood fired pizza oven. Menu offerings were good but on pricey side.
I would have enjoyed my pizza more if they brought the one I ordered but it was pretty good. (I am sure they would have brought me the right one if I had pointed it out but we were on a schedule.) My wife had short rib grilled cheese and she liked it.
