My family and I had a terrible experience this summer visiting Cafe Grazie. We called ahead to see if we needed reservations and was told no, upon arriving at 7:30 the hostess was no where to be found and the bartender was sub. in for her. Took forever to be seating in this half empty restaurant but that was only the begininng. The veal parm came out completely burned, the marinara was runny and the salads were terrible. Since we typical choose one nice family dinner out on vacation, this defintely ruined it.
Service was OK but food was bland. Would probably not go back
Ok, but a little disappointing: Went to the place last night, making our choice primarily based on Yahoo! Local reviews and the billboard that we saw coming into town. The hostess gave us detailed directions over the telephone, which was nice.
Their "squished" baked garlic and olive oil dip was pretty tasty and they were generous with the bread. It was the most gratifying part of the meal.
The shrimp and artichoke soup (a chowder) was ok, if a bit too stiff. My entry, the seafood linguine, featured the rubberiest calamari I've ever had, and my wife's grouper parmesan was pale and uninteresting in taste. The fettuccini was ok.
Value-wise, I feel I would've gotten a better deal at a nearby Olive Garden.
