The AAA Four Diamond Award was presented to Gracie's and other Rhode Island recipients earlier this month at a luncheon hosted by AAA Southern New England at the Ocean House in Westerly.
"We are thrilled to receive this award and honored to be recognized for the execution of our philosophy," said Gracie's Owner Ellen Gracyalny. "The entire Gracie's team believes deeply in our mission of educating and enhancing the palate with fresh ingredients inspired by the seasons and to do so with extraordinary service and attention to detail."
Gracyalny added, "I am so proud of our incredible team and grateful to all of our loyal guests and dedicated purveyors who helped Gracie's achieve this wonderful recognition by AAA."
Recognized as North America's premier restaurant rating program, AAA's rating process system is aimed at providing restaurant-goers with guidance on good, basic food or an extraordinary dining experience.
The AAA Four Diamond Award is presented to restaurants focused on a menu marked by a high degree of creativity and complexity and delivered upon by an executive chef and accomplished staff who use imaginative presentations to enhance high quality, market-fresh ingredients. The award also reflects a proficient service staff that demonstrates a strong desire to meet or exceed guest expectations, a wine steward who provides menu-specific knowledge on wine selection and a highly refined, comfortable and well-coordinated ambiance.
