Grace By Nia

Grace by Nia is a Seaport supper club where live music is part of the dinner plan. Nia Grace’s restaurant pairs jazz, soul and R&B performances with Southern cooking, including chargrilled oysters, fried catfish bites and lobster mac and cheese. Country-fried chicken with carrot cake waffles gives you a fair idea of how far the menu will take a familiar dish.

Check the performance calendar before reserving so you know who’s onstage. Tables have a two-hour limit, while bar seats are available to walk-ins on a first-come basis. Sunday brunch brings another menu and occasion to visit. The venue becomes 21-plus after 10 p.m., and a dress code applies, so this is worth planning as a full evening out.
