Dined on 8 Feb 2025
Enjoyed another lovely dining experience at Good Grace. The menu had changed since we last dined but it contained many special options and our choices were delicious. The service was slick yet relaxed. As my friend and I hadn't seen each other for some time, we stayed for 3 hours yet we weren't rushed away despite the restaurant being almost full. The chef, barista and all staff are to be complimented. Thank you Good Grace. We will be back.
