Graceful Rose , a water-view restaurant in Port Jefferson opened in the summer of 2012 as a spot for continental-American dining. The decor is lovely, with crystal chandeliers and roses painted on tall columns, but the rest of the results come back mixed. Both the restaurant's service and meals are shaky, but this dining spot has great potential if given some time, according to Newsday restaurant critic Peter M. Gianotti.
