Excellent food and a great place to eat. We ate at Grace’s before going to Winterfest on the Wisconsin. Appetizers and main courses were very good, and great value. Would definitely recommend and eat here again when in Norfolk.

Once again the Thanksgiving buffet didn't disappoint. Outstanding food selection and execution. Best cake that we have had in years. All staff, including the concierge who greeted us as we came into the Main lobby, were just friendly and outstanding. They all went out of their way to assist.
