Chez Grace feels less like a typical restaurant and more like being invited into the chef’s home for an unforgettable meal—with a few strangers seated nearby, all sharing in the experience. On a freezing Iowa night, this cozy, intimate spot was the perfect escape. The chef himself runs the entire show, only allowing 4-6 tables per evening, which makes the night feel personal, exclusive, and thoughtfully curated.
We started with the wild mushroom soup, which was rich, velvety, and full of deep, earthy flavors—the kind of dish that warms you to your core. Then came the balsamic caprese salad, followed by the wagyu steak and fillet mignon, and honestly? One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. It was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with that deep, buttery look richness you expect from high-quality wagyu. The chef knows how good it is, and the price reflects that—definitely a splurge-worthy meal.
The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in town. It truly feels like going over to the chef’s house for dinner, where he personally prepares everything with care. The experience is elevated but never pretentious—you’re enjoying fine dining-quality food in a relaxed, intimate setting. And the thoughtful touch of the owner sharing a $500 bottle of wine.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, intimate dining experience, Chez Grace is 100% worth it. Perfect for a romantic date, a special occasion, or simply treating yourself to an unforgettable meal. Just be prepared for the price—but trust me, it’s worth every penny.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary there and were very impressed by the quality of preparation and the attention to detail. The chef-owner does it all. Very few tables available, and it is a very special experience. Very highly recommended, and we will be back.

The atmosphere was great, the place is pristine but nothing too fancy. A semi formal table setting with a white table cloth and a lonely tea candle in a glass candle holder as a center piece. It did have a very relaxed ambiance to enjoy your dinner that I appreciate very much. The kitchen is behind a half wall room divider so you can hear Chef David working and smell your food while he’s cooking it one course at a time. As each food was served, you’ll be disappointed to see that it lacks the beauty of presentation and the taste is on the mediocre side. Overall the whole experience is not worth the price tag. $361+ for two 4-course meal and 2 glasses of wine, I don’t mind paying high $$$$ for food but it better be worth it.

Took my daughter here for her 18th birthday. Told her to choose a place. She chose Chez Grace. A small place. Reservation only. Doors are locked when you are in the restaurant. Great atmosphere! Table cloth, silverware and stemware set up on the table. It was a little cold in the restaurant but not uncomfortable. The menu, see pic, was simple. We chose the five course meal. There were five options for the main course. The other four were predetermined.
Water, coffee, or alcohol available.
The owner opened the door and saw us to the table. He also took our orders, brought our orders, cooked our meals, and everything else. The meal was a 2 hour event. Relaxed, not rushed. The food was cooked to perfection. I loved this place.
Highly recommend!
It is an expensive place $$$$. But well worth the dining experience.
The restroom is clean – bring a date!

We absolutely loved our experience dining here. Chef’s flavor combinations we’re strong, the course pairings we’re thoughtful, and the atmosphere was elegant. A surprising find in Coralville, well worth it.

a must try. the only haute cuisine in the area. grateful that chef david took us in with same day reservation on father’s day. he was so generous to even give us bottle of wine as father’s day gift. this is thus far the only time we emptied all our plates while eating out. a genuine 5 star savory food. surprised that i walked out not feeling bloated with food. we had the 4 course meal. would wanna try the 5 course meal next time but i believe need to reserve 72hrs ahead. you can smell the food as he prep and cook them, its like a torture mouth watering moment

I processed my thoughts for several hours after spending a few hundred dollars (2 people) at this restaurant based on the reviews that have been submitted. I do not understand the 5 star reviews. With that being said, the food Tasted fabulous…. every course, we did the 5-course meal ($105/ea..additional 35 of you get the filet w frau graois) and everything was delicious. However, it was not worth the price $$$. We generally enjoy spending money on food and wine and enjoy both immensely. we do not think that the value was worth the price here. I think that the plating itself Severely lacked color and appeal.. more creative work on the plates would have made the price tag a little bit more palatable. $75+ bottles of wine should absolutely be served with a decanter. Creme Brulee should be served warm. Reviews really built us up for this place but we left feeling disappointed at how much we spent vs what we experienced. Again, food tasted great but was not worth the $$$$ with severely lacked color/artistic plating appeal.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. My wife and I decided to come here to celebrate closing on a new house and for her master’s graduation. We happened to be the only ones in the restaurant on this day, and got highly personalized service from Chef David. We got the full five courses. Each course was top of, if not best in class. The ambiance and hospitality were excellent as well. Overall, this is an incredible spot for a special occasion meal. Props to Chef David!

My husband and I decided to eat here for our 1 year wedding anniversary after hearing so many wonderful things about Chez Grace. I had no idea the owner did everything himself and it was quite impressive. The restaurant has a very intimate setting. We did the 5 course dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed everything.
