Features
Fall From Grace is not new. The 1850s space has long operated as a hospitality venue, but in 2025 it entered a new era under the stewardship of Jimmy Toone and Jo Leal. The hotshot hospo couple brought a European sensibility to the space, with big shareable mains and snacks.
Toone is a former head chef at The Salopian Inn, and the couple ran pop-ups – Secret Pizza Club and Secret Pasta Club – and had a residency at Loc. Pizza is on the menu every Friday, with one weekly special. During the rest of the week, there’s an “anything goes” approach to the menu; again, kind of like Loc. To drink, there’s a mix of old-school and new-school (read: natural) wines.
All of the above has turned Fall From Grace into an industry favourite, where local chefs and winemakers can invariably be spotted in the 25-seat dining room, complete with a working fireplace.
