Thank You for Observing “Celebrity Etiquette”

They’re fascinating to watch…

So beautiful to look at…

You want to engage them and capture their attention but it’s usually against the “rules.”

They’re generally found across the continent or the world, but you can see them by purchasing admittance or a ticket.

They’re tough to get close to unless you go through their “handlers.”

No. They are not those rare, beautiful, and exotic animals at the zoo, but you’re close.

They’re the celebrities who dine with us at Grace. I’m not sure how they find us. Is it Zagat’s top ratings? Word of mouth? Magazine reviews? The Internet? I’m always pleasantly surprised when we see just how far Grace 1720 reaches beyond our intimate Norcross neighborhood.

I know our guests have come to look around a bit expectantly in hopes of catching a glimpse of the celebrities who dine with us. We really appreciate that people find it fun to come here and “star gaze,” yet they observe the social rules of etiquette and allow our famous guests to dine peaceably. It makes it a comfortable experience for everyone.

And after dinner we notice the celebs appear gracious with our guests, often greeting them or shaking hands. It’s just one more way our name emanates throughout the restaurant. From our servers to our regular customers, first time diners to iconic guests, we appreciate the grace and dignity everyone displays in what could turn into a picture-taking, autograph-seeking barrage.

So thank you for your patronage—and thank you for helping our recognizable guests enjoy a comfortable, intimate experience at Grace.

Have you ever encountered a celebrity in an unexpected place? What did you do? How did the celebrity act toward you?
