Grace is an 1850s Gothic Revival–style Methodist church that was closed and sold due to a declining congregation. After a $2-million renovation that adhered to strict historic guidelines, it reopened as an upscale restaurant and cocktail bar, where the pulpit serves as the greeter's desk and diners sit on refurbished pews beneath 27 stained-glass windows.
Sacrilegious? Or a stunning 'adaptive reuse' of a historic structure? The Redemption Sangria may help you decide. Food is generally well regarded, but it's the setting that really shines here.
