THE GRACE

1539 Seventh Street NW 

Chef Sanjay Mandhaiya has opened his latest concept, The  Grace, in Shaw in the space formerly home to The Passenger. A modern American saloon with well-priced pub favorites and classic,  approachable cocktails, the Grace aims to be a neighborhood destination that encourages repeat visits. Courtney Evans serves as The Grace’s executive chef, bringing her expertise to create an eclectic menu spanning American and bistro influences. Highlights include Slow-Roasted Half Chicken, The Reuben, and Burger. The beverage program features, among other classics, a variety of daiquiris made with house-pressed sugarcane juice, honoring the cocktail’s traditional roots.
