Highly recommend. My fiancée and I frequent this spot and it’s become one of our new favorite spots in town. Excellent food, drinks, and service.

Absolutely stunning atmosphere, Service excellent, Food was delicious, short ribs were delicious, but side servings were quite small. I think bread would be a nice addition. We had a wonderful night and we will return.

We were a party of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed Gracie. The atmosphere and view is outstanding as we were there at dusk and into the evening. Beautiful view of the harbor and Santa Ynez Mountains. The service was excellent, never felt rushed and had a very relaxed time. The food was also excellent. In our group, we had guacamole and chips, (appetizer), citrus chicken breast sandwich, and crispy salmon. The guacamole and chips were very fresh and tasty. The citrus chicken breast sandwich was grilled and on homemade Focaccia with goat cheese. Excellent flavor and very tender. We opted for the french fries, also very good. The crispy salmon was a good size as it too was split between 2 people. It too had very good flavor and was excellent. Highly recommend and go as the day turns to dusk and into the night, just an amazing view and atmosphere.

I love the view on the harbor and the good reviews of this new restaurant were interesting to me, so we tried it out for breakfast/brunch. Reviews looked pretty good so decided to try it out, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to expectations. The omelette was only ok, and the tomato sauce didn't go well with it. The pieces of focaccia were pretty good but tiny. The benedict was also underwhelming, small, and only ok. The only positive was the good service. There are other good options on the harbor, so I'll probably skip this in the future.

Was only passing through Santa Barbara but stopped at Gracie’s and ordered the fish tacos and NA POG margarita - both were fantastic! And can’t beat the view!

My friend were in town for the week and we grabbed lunch before heading to the airport today. We were so impressed with the amazing food, beautiful restaurant, and wonderful service. The kale and chicken breast salad was so flavorful and tender. Just perfect.

Had a great experience here. The setup and open air atmosphere by the harbor gives off the perfect relaxing coastal vibe.
The servers were friendly and helpful but seemed a bit unorganized and we were left long periods of time waiting to order or for drink refills.
I got the Bincho Burger which was incredible with each component being high quality from the sourdough bun to the high quality meat and unique sauce. However they were served with what seemed to be cheap (and overcooked) fries likely out of a frozen bag. They were similar in quality to large chain fast food restaurants if not worse. I feel like this could be a very simple fix getting higher quality fries or hand cutting potato wedges. It just felt out of place compared to the effort and quality put into the burger.
Overall an incredible experience with lots of potential. The few kinks we ran into are easy fixes that I'd imagine will be improved on in short order.

Just had dinner here. Used to love the Breakwater and was hoping it hadn’t changed too much. Really lovely surprise. Wonderful service, great food, and of course can’t beat the view. Our table had the cauliflower tacos (vegan) which were super tasty, the salmon which was well cooked with a crispy skin and generous portion and the chicken sandwich. Really lovely experience but it did get chilly towards the end and so far there were no heaters. My only suggestion would be to turn down the music. Really not necessary when people are trying to talk and just enjoying the sounds of the harbor. Will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I just had our first dining experience at Gracie, and we loved it! 😁 The remodel is fantastic—definitely an upgrade from the Breakwater—with gorgeous harbor views that made for the perfect romantic Friday night.
We started off in the bar area, which has been beautifully reimagined with a sleek, club-like vibe. The plush blue velvet bar stools were super comfortable. My husband ordered the P.O.G. Margarita, while I went with a Nojito (with a splash of pineapple). Both were beautifully crafted—so much so that my husband happily switched to the Nojito as well.🍹
For appetizers, we shared the cannellini bean hummus with warm focaccia, the stone fruit burrata, and the sweet potato croquettes with labna. Each one was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My husband ordered the steak frites au poivre, and he loved the sauce—a high compliment coming from a Frenchman! 😄
Our server, Jazz, was warm, attentive, and so much fun, which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back 👍👍😁

Gracie has a beautiful view, service was great, and the happy hour martini was tasty. Unfortunately we were unimpressed by the food bites that accompanied. The burger was flat and alone, and the hummus was thin and low flavor with few of the pickled veggies it promised. We expect they will work out these kinks (they've only been open a week) and we expect to return and try again.

Really great experience at this new restaurant. We shared the Caesar salad (yum yum) which was well sized to share. Also ordered the Salmon which was tasty. Be aware that the filet is thick and will be served medium rare. I was surprised at the interior (never had salmon this rare outside of sushi). I did have them heat it up a bit more. If the menu had stated this, it would have been a non-issue. (That’s the 4 star…)
Also meet up with the creator/owner of Gracie, which really added to the experience of being part of the in the know crowd.
We are normally wine drinkers. Switched over to the specialty drinks tonight and they were tasty as well.
Highly recommend. My fiancée and I frequent this spot and it’s become one of our new favorite spots in town. Excellent food, drinks, and service.
