Welcome to 2024! It’s a new year, a new day, and the perfect opportunity for a refresh. Most folks spend the holidays giving gifts and creating special memories for friends and family. But when’s the last time you did something for yourself? Since January is a slower month (at least compared to the last few), take the time to plan something to refresh you. It could be a massage, dinner out with a special someone, or perhaps a little shopping spree downtown.
Come visit us at Gracious Plates On Main for a memorable dining experience featuring menu items made with fresh local ingredients, a Wine Menu full of unique vinos, a sweet dessert selection, and service delivered with a smile!
Local Highlight

The tastings feature specialty wines that you won’t find at the local grocery store, and to make it even better, all wine at the restaurant is offered at ½ off on Wednesdays. You don’t want to miss these weekly opportunities to sample some unique vinos while enjoying your favorite meal at Gracious Plates On Main, so be sure to put Wednesday evenings on your calendar!
