On the same day Grace's Curtis Duffy was named Chef of the Year by the Chicago Tribune, I had a reservation.
That just set the bar even higher for my first great dining experience of 2014. Honey, I was not disappointed.
I'm good friends with the staff, so I've had the pleasure of hanging out in Grace's front room lounge for drinks as well as attending a summer BBQ where all the chefs grilled their favorite meats. This occasion, however, was my first time officially dining at the restaurant.
