Grace Restaurant

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 cooked them in a separate pot and flagged it, and she did The taste and seasoning were 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. It's NOT worth 22.00$. Please avoid this dish if you go there. It's literally less than 3 ounces of lamb at the most.Secondly, the sparking water... they are charging 8.00$ for a small bottle of San Pelligrino water, and even at high-end restaurants, the LARGE BOTTLE is 7 or 8.00$. This is way overpriced. We paid 16.00$ 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$.The stand-out dish was the Oso Buco. This was the only dish that was the best of the night. The second is the shrimp scampi. Cocktails: They were basic and underwhelming at 14.00$. 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. When I asked for it again I got it and was charged (it should have been comped at that point because I waited about 25 minutes for it) and the kicker is that they charge a 3.00$ upcharge for Tito's vodka which isnt even tooshelf.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. And might I add that parking is free at both of these restaurants, I had to pay 15.00$ for non-beach Street parking through Park Mobile.

We stumbled in here in a chilly night right after sunset. Universe delivered. First of all it was quiet, a Sunday night, so we chose to sit at the bar! Lisa took care of us and she was the best. Dry sense of humor, matter of fact, authentic and patient. My husband asks lots of questions and can never decide. Second, any rest that names their drinks after all the staff's Angel pets, has my whole heart forever.Lisa said the burger was the best she has ever had and she wasn't wrong. Perfection! Seasonal apps were great. Cocktails excellent....and some Tampa folks at the bar who had come all the way over for the food! The other couple said the desserts were incredible, we were full, maybe next time!We would have gone back tonight but they were closed

Grace is a true testament to resilience and excellence. After surviving 2 back to back hurricanes that devastated the area, they have reopened and served us the most delicious meal. As usual, the food is incredibly fresh and each dish is beautifully presented. The service is attentive and efficient making our Christmas Eve experience very memorable.
