Gràcia Mediterranean

I'm a huge fan of family style meals & have been searching for a good tapas restaurant in Austin & Gràcia hit the spot. The interior is intimately decorated with a coastal design and warmly lit by candles and rattan pendent lighting. The food was cooked to perfection. Each dish is beautifully crafted to have a perfect balance of flavors. The hummus was fresh, followed with a smokey after note from the chili oil. The spanish octopus was a perfect balance of textures of the fried lentils, corona beans, and grilled octopus in an addicting sofrito sauce. The oysters of the day were bright, sweet and delicious, the favorite of the table. A great experience with great service. Would love to come back to try more dishes.

THE BIG: Rosedale neighborhood restaurant represent! This restaurant is tucked inside the Rosedale Village shopping center and right across from the pinthouse pizza. Parking lot is available.THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here for Friday date night spot and saw tapas was on the menu. The interior is very nice and reminds me of a bohemian chic vibe. There was outdoor seating, but it was way too cold.We ordered the chicken, patatas bravas, crab stuffed peppers, scallops, and hummus. All were very good, but a lil pricey in my opinion. My favorite bites were the scallops and the chicken. Good to know that they make everything in-house day of. I could tell by the pita :D.THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, damage done here was around $100 for five tapas. Pretty pricey for tapas but great flavors.

Came in for a random date night on a Friday night. There was a good amount of filled tables but we were seated immediately.Hummus - Tastes very fresh! There wasn't quite enough pita by default but you can always add more.Empanadas - A bit in the dry side. Pretty rich and heavy.Octopus - Really tender! I enjoyed this order the most. It also comes with the largest beans I've ever seen.Lionsmane Mushroom - We had to send this order back because it was way too salty. However the waiter was kind and took the order off our bill.Swordfish kebab - This was pretty good. Not amazing but it was a new item on their menu.

Our group of 4 were celebrating a birthday and there was a Happy Birthday card on the table. We were served a complemenatry small glass of sparkling wine to begin our celebration which was a nice touch. We ordered a variety of things and shared them: oysters, empanadas, hummus, lions mane mushrooms, prawns and chicken thighs, and the dishes were a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Our server was attentive. Free parking is available behind the building. Very nice experience!

Not a bad spot for date night! My husband and I came on a Friday night without a reservation- there were plenty of tables available. Located in a Rosedale shopping center, Gracia Mediterranean is a small tapas bar with modern, Bohemic decor and great service. Tons of packing in the back. My husband ordered 5 dinners and got really full. My favorites were the crab stuffed peppers and the scallops. Price is a bit high, so recommend checking out their happy hour!

I save my stars for special occasions, and Gracia is one of those that consistently delivers (food, ambiance, service) while being slightly and delightfully north of central to avoid hysterical crowds. Chef is often sourcing the freshest local ingredients for a range of Mediterranean flavors in just-beyond-tapas sized portions, and I love it. My highlights - Cured Squash is a beautifully reinvented Greek salad with green olives, spicy arugula, fresh feta, and pépitas for crunch. It's familiar but exciting, all very good. When I'm craving lamb, this is where I come for a perfect portion, seasoned and grilled to perfection, topped in the most magical mint salmoriglio (which I believe is Italian for chimichurri). They call it tapas but I don't prefer to share an order, it's perfect for one!To finish - one of my favorite chocolate desserts, and a perfected incarnation here: the budino. It's rich yet weightless chocolate (which somehow feels less guilty) topped with airy whip and Maldon flake salt. So ends a perfect 3-course meal says I. Try for yourself!

We came here for a girls dinner. The place is small and cozy. The decor was cool, we were there early and it was quiet, but soon picked up with what seemed like a somewhat regular/ local crowd which was nice to see. We really enjoyed our meal. We've meant to come back, but haven't yet. The octopus was good, scallops were great. I loved the Old Cuban drink.

What a cute little spot. Thank you, Inkind, for sending me a coupon and discovering this little neighborhood spot!Stopped by for the end of happy hour and had a half priced Mediterranean Spritz. Not my normal drink at all as I don't love gin but the bartender Aaron promised me it didn't taste like gin and he wasn't wrong.The scallops and tuna crudo I got were both excellent. My only complaint is for the price I would have liked a bit more food. I left feeling hungry still. But the taste just did not miss.Aaron was great to talk to while I was dining solo, so 5* for customer service as well. Really liked this spot and will have to come back.

It's been a while since I've been to such a mid brunch spot/restaurant in Austin, but Gracia fell flat on a number of things during my visit. Service is pretty good, and our waiter was really attentive and kind. My friend received a dirty water glass, and I also asked for cream for my Americano that came in a dirty glass. My friend initially asked for orange juice, but we were told they didn't have enough oranges to make the juice? Interesting. My friends and I ordered the hummus, shakshouka, pistachio pancakes, and chorizo hash. I think their regular dinner offerings seem to be more popular, but in terms of the brunch menu, everything was incredibly mid. The hummus was pretty under seasoned, but I did enjoy the fresh pita bread it came with. The shakshouka also didn't have a lot of flavor, and the yogurt overpowered most of the dish. Pistachio pancakes were fluffy, but the actual pancake didn't have any pistachio hint. Lastly, the chorizo hash had gorgeous presentation and really fluffy eggs, but the overall dish was also just okay. I would be down to come back again for their dinner menu, but I wasn't a fan of their brunch. It's a really cute and small restaurant off of Burnet.

We enjoyed a delicious brunch at Gracia Mediterranean! The service we received from Christian and Dillon was great! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they made it special! There was live music from 2-4pm (they have live music on the 3rd Sunday of the month).The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and upscale. We hope to return one day when back in the Austin area!
