    Grace is an exceptional restaurant for the State College area. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxing. We attended a special dinner for Octoberfest with beer pairings from a local brewery. The event ran flawlessly. The menu of five courses plus a dessert was a perfect array of German delights finely crafted by the chef. The beer was excellent as well. Service was impeccable. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough for special occasions or simply a night out to treat yourself.

    Two at the table split a 16 oz. ribeye ordered medium. +/- $65.00. It came out overcooked and dry at the edges. Prices are based more on ambience than quality. Home made pasta was great. Maybe it was just a bad night.

    Overall was great. It’s always great food and service. I’m just bummed they didn’t mention anything about our anniversary. We got more when we last came for a birthday reservation I made.
