Goodbye to 7-year-old Grace restaurant on Beverly Boulevard. Grace owners Neal Fraser and Amy Knoll Fraser announced that it is closing June 19, as they prepare to move to a new location downtown at Vibiana Cathedral next year.

Meanwhile, chef John Sedlar and his partners plan to open another Rivera in the Beverly Boulevard location, according to a release.

The new Grace restaurant in the Spanish Baroque cathedral that once housed parish priests will include a main dining room on the main floor with private dining rooms and a bar called the Rectory upstairs.
