Food was very good. Atmosphere was nice, as outside is the norm right now. Service was good except that at one point we hadn't received entrees for a while and the waitress asked if we got our food--hmmm? Things to improve: bread to the table. Prices were a bit on the high side, $36/$38 entrees and make sure apps and entrees are served timely. We would come back again. read more

Not my favorite. In a pinch, Erratic hours they close the kitchen whenever. Call before going.

the best burger and fries on Pass A Grille beach . Lisa the bartender makes an excellent cocktail.

My daughter and I stopped for dinner upon a recommendation of a friend of a friend. Service was exceptional with Jeff who made many suggestions for us. I ordered the filet which was out of this world and my daughter ordered the shrimp scampi which boasted the "meaty" kind of shrimp drenched in a yummy garlicky sauce. We both started out with the "Olive" cocktails which were fantastic. Next time we visit we will certainly be back. read more

Tried to make a reservation here. Was particularly interested since the reviews are so favorable and their website is so clear about the care taken to protect diners during Covid, including assurances that all staff wear masks. The person who was taking my reservation on the phone told me they were NOT wearing masks and that their website needed to be updated. Sorry I won't be dining here. read more

Great food! Great drinks! Amazing service! The ambiance made it a perfect dinner! The sangria was my favorite!

We absolutely loved eating at GRACE while passing through the lovely Pass a Grille neighborhood. (We are "foodies" from WNY and our hometown was recently rated #3 best food city in the world.... GRACE was pure genius from the upscale, non-pretentious atmosphere to the attentive, and kind staff. It could easily fit into A BEST FOOD category) The food was exquisite and we found the prices extremely reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

I LOVE Grace's! Friendly staff & wonderful menu. Both good & drink. Help with pairing too! 100/10.

Best steak I have had in years. Service was excellent and they went out of their way to prepare the tea just the way I like it. Everything seemed fresh made from scratch and you could tell from the flavor. Will go again. read more

Loved the decor, umbrellas on the ceiling and cute dog action shots. Service was wonderful. Cocktails were tasty! My seared scallops were amazing and my husband enjoyed the pork chop. We had a large party and our service was quick! I don't think anyone had anything left on their plates!! It's on our list of must visit again when we are in St. Pete Beach-Pass-A-Grille!! read more

Grace is a much needed casual upscale beach restaurant in Passe Grille that is a welcomed departure from the fried food fiasco offered by the other beach restaurants that trade location rather than high quality food. When I write "upscale casual" i mean it is for those diners who want a more refined place to eat besides the divey beach options. A well appointed spot for a date night to start the vacation off right or getting the girls together. The restaurant has nice colbalt blue glassware, playful art with dogs adorn the walls and chic lighting that really sets a fun tone. The bar area is separate from the main dining area and it has a good selection of wine. I didnt notice the beer and cocktails options. We got a group together and we all had different entrees: vegerarian, pescatarian and chicken. Everyone loved their dish. Having a menu to include different eating preferences is always a huge plus to me. I got one of the vegetarian entrees and it was so good! The squash was cooked and seasoned perfectly & the Israeli couscous suited the dish perfectly. I really enjoyed this. The other tablemates who ordered scallops were amazed by the size and quantity of scallops. Usually you only get 4 maybe 5 but here they had 6 scallops. I did not taste them but they did not sear them properly from what i saw. The table also ordered the cheese board and that is where Grace fell short. Cheese and charcuterie boards are offered but there is zero info on what they have. I asked "what type of cheeses- American or European?" The waiter replied "it's chef's choice." I was tempted to say "well take 5 minutes AND FIND OUT what the chef is choosing today!" I was with company and didnt want to make a scene but it is really annoying when they werent busy. Here is the thing: you are getting ripped off if you pay for a cheese or meat board and it's all American. American meats and cheeses are crap. let's be honest. The EU has better and higher standards on this stuff so their stuff is better. dont waste your money. I am thrilled to have Grace in Passe Grille and i will definitely be back to try the cauliflower steak! read more

This is our second visit to Grace. Again, we are very pleased that we chose Grace to celebrate are time in St. Petersburg. Our expectations from last year's wonderful meal were fully met. We enjoy food and we look for restaurants that appreciate and serve interesting and quality dining fare. Grace meets all those expectations and more. For this level of cuisine, St. Pete is lucky to have such a restaurant at such a reasonable cost. Ambience is a major part of the appeal of this restaurant. We enjoy a quiet and subtle atmosphere that the restaurant provides. To be able to converse and fully enjoy the fare that is provided to us creates a unique experience for us. When we return to St. Pete again, this will be our first choice in restaurants. We just sorry we don't have this in our area. St. Pete - you have a gem here! read more

Dined at Grace perhaps four or five days after opening. First impression is that the staff are all fantastic, and plentiful. There were always staff coming and going, and asking if we needed anything. Zero complaints; the service could not possibly have been better. Short version of the review: fantastic staff, fantastic entrees, huge helping of lobster on the lobster bolognese, absolutely accurate temp and perfectly prepared filet, scallops were melt in your mouth. Some of the signature cocktails may be your thing, or maybe not, but they're expensive, so choose wisely. The sides came out a bit cold, probably just something the kitchen will work out on timing with, no pun intended, time. As far as deserts go, the key lime pie is admittedly not home made, but wasn't impressed with the chocolate option so perhaps the key lime is the way to go. Longer version: dined on a rainy Sunday, were greeted at the door by the owners (husband and wife, I think). Entire staff were very friendly and attentive. The establishment is modern / contemporary, lots of white/gray tables and floors, accent walls, blue-lit bar, numerous seating options. Arriving at 4pm right as they opened, it was like a flood gate of staff were released into the dining room; there was never any moment where we couldn't have asked for something that was missing, so incredible service. Had the Pastrami Salmon Taquito and Pan-Roasted Sea Scallops (Dinner Entree) as appetizers. Contrary to the name, the salmon doesn't have pastrami i the mix, but was a great appetizer regardless, and great value for the price. It was a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of the slaw/onion mix, and a crispy tostada, topped with caviar. The scallops were ridiculous; huge, fresh, perfectly prepared. I could have eaten about ten pounds of them. The bed of rice surrounding them, nothing to write home about, but that's not why you order that entree. Entree time; had lobster bolognese and pan-seared cab beef tenderloin (aka filet). OMG the lobster bolognese was incredible. You get a tail (in the shell) on top, and then a mix of pasta and lobster claw in your bowl. For the price, you'd be surprised at how much lobster is in this dish; so good, no complaints. The filet was prepared perfectly, rare, and my wife is picky about the temp. It was an excellent cut and cook. Only minor complaints, no Béarnaise sauce, and the great tasting truffle-oil infused mashed potatoes came out cold; so they were probably plated before the entree was ready. Desert, ordered the home made chocolate souffle versus the admittedly (local) store bought key lime pie. It was a bit runny, more like chocolate pudding, had a strawberry and some blueberries on it. In hindsight I'd have gone with the key lime as I love key lime pie and could care less if they didn't make it in house. Drinks: the signature "Grace" drink is a bit on the fruity / light side, and not very strong. I'd recommend a custom margarita, which was their limeade syrup and milagro tequila; pretty light, tasty, and reasonably strong. Also had a Bacardi & Diet, was kind of weak, so may not be the kind of place to order well drinks. All in all, pretty fantastic experience for a restaurant that is four days old. Will definitely be back. read more

Our experience at Grace was exceptional! The ambiance was colorfully modern and comfortable. The service was prompt and friendly. The food and cocktails were the highlights of our visit! Starting with the refreshing Grace martini to the deliciously unique crispy artichoke appetizer, the creative wedge salad with horseradish dressing, the best fresh grouper I have ever had to the chocolate coffee crème brûlée the chef presents a top tier meal!! We crossed the street after dinner to watch the sunset on the beach. A very special memorable evening. Looking forward to our next time. read more

Everything we had from drinks to dessert was delicious. It's in a beautiful location and if you time it right you can catch an amazing sunset at the end read more

We are staying in the area celebrating our wedding anniversary and we were looking for something different than a beachy bar and grill; I'm so glad we found Grace! The cocktail list is amazing! All of the drinks are named after local's dogs. I had a the Sophizzie--Prosecco with blackberry liquor and pop rocks to top it off. So fun and delicious! Our dinners were phenomenal. I had the cornflake crusted grouper and we finished with fresh beignets for dessert. Our waitress was attentive and cheery; we loved her recommendations for drinks and dinner! read more

Grace Restaurant - Lobster tail with "rattlesnake" (spicy!) mac and cheese. - Seafood Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

I love that something like this exists on Pass-a-Grille, that's a level up from the surrounding touristy beach fare. That said, it has a real "almost" feel about it. The dishes were creative and tasty, but they fell short in the details. For instance, the scallops were delicious, but the accompanying Brussels sprouts were wonderfully crispy on the outside, but hard and barely cooked in the center. The beet polenta had a great flavor, but was dry--which would have been fine if there was a little more sauce on the plate. Our server was wonderful, but there was some overall confusion at the hostess stand. She asked if we had a reservation, and I said no, I had called but the outgoing message said they only accept reservations for parties of six or more. She acknowledged that was the case and found us a table for three anyways...it was a bit strange. read more

My husband and I went here for dinner on a Sunday night - we'd made a reservation because it was suggested when I phoned the restaurant to ask if one was needed. The service was friendly, the food was amazing, and the wine menu was extensive, with excellent selections. We loved our meal and hope to come again soon for a special occasion. Having said that - this is definitely not a family restaurant. We really enjoyed the mature atmosphere. read more

The atmosphere in Grace is casual, comfortable yet artsy and the food is fabulous, flavorful and interesting. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Try the artichoke appetizer and seared scallops, you will not be disappointed! We want to go back soon! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with this cute little place in the middle of the busy St Pete beach. If you are after classy service, proper crowd and clean table cloths this is a place to come to. Ever so slightly on a higher price range meals were well prepared and executed promptly. My kid had a burger which was executed in a classic style, nothing fancy, I had a Caesar. All was well, clean, fresh and prompt. Keep up the good work! read more

Grace Restaurant - Just checked in. Here for dinner!!! - Seafood Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Cocktail list is amazing. Recommend the octopus appetizer! All the entrees are amazing. If you are in Passé-a-Grille go here.

We just love this place! Stopped in for a glass of wine and the service was as so good we came back the next night for dinner. It was over the top. We had the grilled octopus appetizer and wild mushroom feta linguine which was absolutely superb. Beautiful atmosphere with great food and great service. Checks off every box! read more

The atmosphere was pretentious without merit. The greeting from the hostess was as if we didn't belong. Decor and furniture are reminiscent of a food court at a recently updated mall. I ordered the scallops and they weren't even cooked correctly, even though I was told from the beginning that this was fine dining (hint: it's not.) Only order the special, chef knows how to cook a lamb shank. Plus one star because the service was really good. read more

Grace Restaurant - Burger King tables and bright spotlighting at 9pm. - Seafood Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Fantastic experience from the moment we walked into this quaint restaurant tucked in the lovely Pass a Grill neighborhood. Elevated America fare with an emphasis on fresh seafood, house made pasta and vegetables. My vegan friend loved her squash dish. The shrimp pasta was amazing as was the encrusted grouper. Fantastic wine list and fun cocktails all named after neighborhood dogs. Very friendly service and I felt very safe with the spaced out tables. Will definitely go back when I am back in the area. read more

This review is not about the food or service. It's about a policy that was followed to the T. Before I go on I understand this is a business and they are trying to make money. To on with my issue. After watching the sunset me and my girlfriend wanted to get desserts. So we walked across the street and saw the ice cream place on the corner. We had my girlfriends 7 year old son with us who wanted ice cream. We started to wait on the line for ice cream and I suggested we go to Grace as we wanted a glass of wine and figured they would have ice cream too. So we go that route and go into Grace and said we just want dessert and they said sure. We get seated and we hear all the desserts they have and ordered the flourless chocolate and a glass of wine for both me and my GF. We ask the waitress if they have any ice cream and she said no very nicely. Now my girlfriends sons face dropped. So I asked the waitress if it would be alright to run next door and get a small cup of ice cream for him. She seemed a little nervous but said yes. A minute later she came back and reluctantly said she was told "No outside food allowed". I said "Really it's just a small cup". She said "Sorry" so I said fine we will leave and we all had ice cream next door. I get the policy, you don't want people going to a restaurant with their own food. It wasn't like we were trying to save money or do anything to not maximize the restaurants ability to make money. They only had a handful of deserts to pick from to top it off and none were designed for children. I can take blame for some of this as I get it this place ain't chunky cheese. But really you can't accommodate a family trying to defuse a simple situation with a child? read more

Octopus was excellent, grouper and steak cooked proper as well. Server was nice, inside staff and rest of servicenot as much. COVID Experience def hits the place hard with half the amount of menus and jamming people at small tables One runner spilled a dish on me and i had to press for an apology out of them. The same kid did it to the table next to us. Based on the drink menu and local dogs this is probably a fancier local place that does well, but not worth the trip i made to get down there. read more

The food here was a cut above the usual. We really enjoyed the grilled Caesar salad and cornflake crusted grouper. Everything was prepared excellently. Great cocktails, too. We went early and are outside because of Covid but the restaurant felt low risk and sure was delish! read more

Sadly the food at this restaurant is not very good, particularly given the pricing. The menu is pretentious, for example using "Haricot Vert" for cold and nearly tasteless green beans. read more

Disappointing Valentines Day dining. Filet Mignon over cooked twice ...nearby table under cooked...market price was $58 ....not worth more than $40. Tables too close...less than three feet. Not a special occasion dining destination. read more

Chef Jason has done an amazing job with the atmosphere and food at this quaint beachside restaurant. I had the shrimp scampi as my main entree. The best I've had . The crispy artichoke on the appetizer menu is something you don't want to miss. A very unique dish. read more

Dinner with a table of seven, my wife has food allergies to wheat, eggs and does not eat meat. She had looked forward to the cauliflower on the menu- the only vegetarian entree suitable for her. She ordered and was later told the chef was not making it tonight. Not that it was out but that the chef wasn't making it. No other suggestions by the waitress. Disappointed she ordered a soup starter and a tomato salad. The tomato salad was 15.00 for three slices of tomato, three leaves of basil and a few soggy pistachios. Nonsense. In the service industry you expect service with a sense of care. Don't come here if this is your expectation. read more

Terrible service by owner/manager. Made to feel like dirt. Never had an experience like this. Don't go if you have any self-respect. Risotto was served after partner had finished and was not as expected - no risotto and shrimp was delivered after bit of rice on a separate plate - $37! Restaurant accepted zero responsibility and offered no compensation only vileness. We were not the only unhappy table in the restaurant tonight. Would have laughed it off had they been nice. Waiter congratulated us for sticking up for ourselves. Very strange. read more

I've never felt so unwelcome in my life. Just wanted to have a nicer dinner in the beach area but the staff was incredibly rude. We were asked several times if we meant to go to the Brass Monkey and said no. Ultimately, my friends felt so uncomfortable that we left and went to the hurricane. I can't speak to the food but based on service alone, won't be coming back here. read more
