INCREDIBLE food. The flavors were absolutely unreal. We came for the first time for Valentine’s Day and they were absolutely slammed. However, they didn’t skimp whatsoever on the flavor. The shrimp and lobster tom yum was one of the most unique things I’ve ever tried. It was delicious. And the fillet was buttery and cooked to absolute perfection.

We had dinner on a Monday night in early December. The place was pretty empty and quiet.

This is a casual restaurant with a nice menu, excellent food, and nice wine list. Our server Jason was terrific. Super accommodating of food allergies and preferences, and very friendly and hospitable. Kudos to the chef for making my wife’s shrimp dinner a second time after Jason told him the first one had an ingredient she couldn’t eat.

We started with a hot and sour soup with shrimp that was delicious but very spicy. The shrimp scampi entree was wonderful. Perfectly prepared shrimp. The seared tuna was served very creatively and tasted great. The French baguette was warm and delicious. Complimenting dinner was a Sauvignon blanc that was nice and mild. For dessert the pumpkin donuts hit the spot. The espresso was really good. We were surprised there was no tea or decaf available, but Jason brought me a cup of hot water.

We had a very nice and relaxing dinner. The appearance and atmosphere may be casual, but the food was first class. Definitely worth a visit if you are vacationing in the area.

What a nice surprise to find this gem of a Chef owned place in the heart of down town. From greeting at the front door to every moment after was a foodie delight. We ordered the specials for the evening, lentil soup with Italian sausage and Parmesan. Indian butter chicken in a perfect spicy tomato cream served with basmati rice pancakes. Amazing! With an entree of Jumbo tiger prawns, seared salmon in a lemongrass broth adding some baby bok choy, confit tomato jasmine rice with fresh herbs. It doesn’t get much better than this. The chef Jason has fine tuned his skills for a truly delightful adventure of his culinary experiences over the years to now allow us to participate in a delicious evening at his table. Don’t miss GRACE.

Enjoyed a scrumpious dinner at Grace last week and still thinking about how great it was. The Pork chops and Scallops entrees were perfectly cooked and hit all marks for flavor and originality. We shared the yummy Bibb salad, plenty for 2. The artichoke appetizer, I need this recipe, what a pleasant surprise. We will be back!

I’m not easily impressed by restaurants, but grace exceeded all expectations. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful and the potatoes were divine. They also have some very unique dessert options. I’m so happy to have finally found a restaurant near the beach that I love.

First experience at Grace and it was excellent beach-town dining. We were seated promptly after arrival and our server did an amazing job of describing the hand crafted cocktails, wines and food items on and off menu. We opted for a reasonably priced bottle of rose which paired well with our Greek salad and bread. The entrees ( chicken marsala and the scallops ) were prepared and plated like a Michelin-star restaurant would. Flavors were perfectly melded in both dishes. We liked the atmosphere (especially the colorful umbrellas in the dining room).

I dined at Grace restaurant and was expecting to have a pretty great experience since I love this area and frequent it a lot. I had a reservation and when we came in we were greeted at the point near the door (there was a sign that said wait to be greeted or seated). However, the woman who greeted us was not only not friendly she seemed annoyed that we were there and acted like we were not welcome. This was all in her attitude. She did not say these things, but she would not make eye contact, she looked annoyed and almost questioning why we were there and to be honest our waitress was nicer, but I noticed a totally different person was delivering our food to our table during service. It could just be a coincidence. I am just going to say, we were not the exact type of couple coming in to dine that was predominantly in there.

Decor wise, the restaurant is simple; It isn’t fancy. I think, decor wise, the umbrellas on the ceiling are very cute, but after that it’s like the vibe ended, totally.

Food wise, the food was well seasoned. So, I will say that first off, I hate underseasoned food. I have Celiacs Disease and they have GF denotations on the menu so I chose from there. I actually asked for the shrimp scampi with rice noodles and that came out great, I just told our waitress to please make sure they cook them in a separate pot and flag it and she did. The taste and seasoning was great. I 100% did not mind the rice noodles and I thought it was great. The seasoning was good on everything we had.

The starter was the lamb rolls which was incredibly underwhelming. The amount of lamb they give you is a joke and it’s priced at 21.00$. You can get a pound of organic ground lamb from Whole Foods for 8.00$ (and I do) and yet, they are charging 21.00$ for 1 link the size of a breakfast sausage that was cut up! This is served on 6 or 7 pieces of Bibb lettuce with 3 slices of onion and some banana peppers. NOT worth 21.00$ Please avoid this dish if you go there. It’s literally less than 3 ounces of lamb at the most.

Secondly, the sparking water…they are charging 8.00$ for a small bottle of San Pelligrino water and even at high end restaurants the LARGE BOTTLE is 7 or 8.00$. This is way over priced. We paid 16.00$ plus tax and tip on two small bottles of San Pelligrino water which you can buy an entire case of these x2 for this price at the grocery store. Most restaurants serving this small bottle would charge 3.00$ for it, not 8.00$.

The stand out dish was the Oso Buco. This was the only dish that was the best of the night. Second being the shrimp scampi.

Cocktails: They were basic and underwhelming at 17.00$ They weren’t mixed well and had no garnishes (the menu said there would be garnishes) and were not served in proper glasses. I ordered a cocktail and it never arrived, but it did appear they comped most of it and charged me only 2.00$ for it (what was that???).

Overall, I like trying new restaurants, but I won’t be coming back here. From the unwelcome vibes to the overpriced items I feel I can do a lot better taking my money elsewhere. I felt like as a customer I was not welcome at all and the service was lacking. I was readily made to feel like I wasn’t the demographic they were looking for from the moment I walked in.

The Dewey has a better atmosphere and food and is steps away and I have dined there twice. The Don Cesar has similar pricing, but is actually fine dining.

When it came time to pay they acted like they didn’t know what Offline was or what the discount was and tried to only give us our discount on 1 meal. They acted funny about it and we were both Offline members. Then tried to play it off and say “it’s new” and “a manager will come by to approve it”, but no manager ever came by because I am thinking it was the same rude woman who greeted us and didn’t look like she wanted us to be there in the first place. I wish I didn’t have this interaction, but it is what it is.

Spread the word!!! This place is amazing. Worth every dollar. I had the filet. I feel like I need a thesaurus right now, because perfectly cooked does not capture what I want to say. My wife had the scallops, and said they were the best she had ever had. That’s huge coming from a native Floridian. An added bonus tonight was meeting the mother and sister of Chef Jason. We WILL be back.

Beautiful alfresco dining at this cute little place right off Pass a Grille beach. I had the Burrata & Heirloom Tomato and the Roasted Shrimp off the apps menu and hubby had the filet….all beautifully plated and amazing. Great cocktails and attentive service as well. The best place for dinner on the island!

This comfortable but elevated dining experience was the highlight of my trip! There were gluten- and dairy-free options for my family that were just as delicious as the rest of the food. The baked Brie and scallops were show-stopping, and the fresh-caught shrimp in my Alfredo were the best I’ve ever tasted. The server was friendly and attentive. The lighting was muted but not dim, perfect for an evening meal. The only recommendation I can offer would be to label the various dietary options on the menu, but that could be a stylistic decision. I look forward to visiting again!
