Grace Restaurant

The best food from a restaurant I ever had. I’ve dined in fine places across the world that don’t come close to this place. Never have I tasted anything like the uniquely delicious blend of food that I was so gracefully served . If you happen to visit south Florida treat yourself please !!!

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!

We didn’t make any reservations, on the way in with out one the Host welcome us without asking if we have a reservation was very nice, she than ask us to follow her to a nice table where we sit . The server was awesome, friendly and very attentive. He follow all we ask for , everything was Brought to the table in order and with time between. The food was amazing plus’s Hot the way I really like it . At the end we ask for dessert and the server suggested a after dinner drink with kalua. Was a great touch we love it 🥰. Is a come back for sure everyone was so nice . I totally recommend.
Thank you . We will see you soon .

Great dining experience, sat at the bar with two friends, Lisa was our server, and gave us wonderful service. A must go to if you are visiting Pass A Grill. Such a nice friendly restaurant.

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!

Family’s last night, visiting. We decide on Grace and we were all thrilled with our meals! We started with fabulous apps and it was all up hill. Osso bucco, perfectly prepared and flavorful. 3 of us had the salmon special, with shrimp and waffle.(waffle a bit over cooked) but delicious. Bravo from all 3. The kids shared bolognese pasta and plates were clean, they loved the dish!
We topped off the meal with tasting the key lime pie. It was the best key lime pie I have ever tasted……..kudos to the chef and staff.

We had a fantastic 2-couple dinner here at sunset. Fantastic drink selection, great flatbread as an appetizer than everyone ordered different main plates.
Had a 3.5 hour really pleasant time. Never felt rushed, service was perfect.
Loved that cocktails are all named after dogs in the neighborhood!!!

Wonderful! Delicious boulliabase (my favorite), great drinks, adorable server, best dessert ever (ginger cake). Yum!!!

Celebrated my wife's birthday, everything was perfect. Jeff our waiter was amazing. We'll be back!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Grace Restaurant! The ambiance was elegant and inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was prepared with care and showcased a perfect blend of flavors. I highly recommend Grace Restaurant for a delightful culinary journey.

With a party of twelve, you would think there would be at least one complaint, but there wasn’t a single one!
The limited menu (which means only fresh ingredients are served) gave enough of a variety needed to please us all.
From our appetizers, entrees, to the desserts, we all enjoyed our selections.
The atmosphere and staff were equally top notched!
We will be returning to The Grace Restaurant soon for another fabulous meal!

I never give google reviews but this was too good not to, it was seriously some of the best food I have ever had. I had the shrimp scampi and my mom had the filet and it was absolutely insane. Jeff our server was amazing too!

We can't get enough. The food, the drinks, the service, especially Jeff lol, the decor. Grace is definitely the best restaurant in St. Pete's. Chef/Owner Jason is doing a great job. The flavors and combinations in all the dishes we had were superb. We went three times in a 5 day period. It was that good. Highly recommended!

Excellent food, excellent service and the drinks are out of this world. Easily the Best restaurant in pass a grille

We chose this for our 30th anniversary dinner, and it exceeded expectations. Food was superb. I had the chicken francese, and my husband had the crispy chicken menu addition for tonight. We also had the flatbread and Grace cocktail. All dishes were excellent. The waiter was a super nice guy, very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

A hidden gem off of pass a grill beach in St. Pete, FL. We popped in for quick bite before sunset & opted for some incredible appetizers.The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. It was on a bed of greens and some pickled peppers. The sauce was so addictive- pistachio, avocado aioli! So good! We had the crispy artichokes - one word , YUM! Crispy on the outside but soft in the center. Flavorful and fresh, with another yummy plate sauce! The special flatbread did not disappoint at all.Fresh local tomatoes, mascarpone cheese, grilled artichokes arugula and micro basil! Perfection. We shared a dessert- the cheesecake with the blueberry compote! Definitely try this if you like cheesecake. It was very light. The service was impeccable. We had Jeff as our server.He was warm, friendly and took excellent care of us. The team is attentive. The decor is simple and happy.
Every dish was a home run. Overall great experience. We will be back!

Our favorite Resturant in Pass A Grille Beach . Actually in all of St Pete! We have loved every meal we’ve eaten there!

This place has the winning combo near the beach and excellent food. Mussels were cooked perfectly which is very hard to find in Florida and the apps were inventive and delicious. With inflation, we rarely find a place that we go out to eat and think "that was worth it"- but Grace is that place. They have really hit their stride and have gotten even better than the last time we were there.

Excellent excellent… me and my girlfriend could really enjoy every bite.. had a daily special… and so on..
There’s someone back there in the kitchen cooking with passion and loves what he does.. perfect pan seared salmon and lobster corn risotto.. light tom sauce with parred with smoothly with a house white burgundy..
thank you for the service to all staff 🤌
