What I loved about Grazia is the excellent service from the moment you walk in until you leave and of course the food πŸ˜‰ ... All stuff members are great. One of top 5 best places to dine in East London. Good place to make an impression to that special one or a business deal.

Great lamb neck, medley starter and trio dessert! Valentine was exceptionally great and I would definitely be back. Thank you. Just not sure how the margarine ended up in the butter dish with the bread ;). See you soon.

I was under the impression this is the best dine restaurant in East London. Very disappointed in the service we ordered cocktails the second round of tequila sunset was lacked flavour especially the orange element. When the manager Isaac came he just justified the poor cocktails and offered to charge us for an extra shot of orange juice. Very disappointed in this establishment. Hope they improve.

A very pleasant experience, very good service. Beautiful atmosphere one of the best fine food and wine venue although the food was not the best tasting as we are used to in Durban. For instance the prawn curry tasted like butter chicken and the lasagna was too creamy but overall a very good experience

If you are looking to treat yourself Grazias is the place to go. A perfect view of the Sea. Good Food ... a mixture of amazing Italian food and the Grill Selection also sounds very tempting. The service is also very prompt.Sometimes it would just be nice, if the Dress Code for guests could be enforced a little bit.

Good sea view.Indoor and outdoor seating. Upmarket restaurant well decorated. Safe parking if you early otherwise park on the street (car guards on watch).We received excellent service with well spoken and friendly staff.Complimentary bread basket with not your ordinary choice of bread. Calamari starter portion stuffed with cheese was taste and so was the line fish of the day. Good choice of cocktails.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and each time I had a pleasant experience. Christmas eve my mom, boy friend and I went. It was their first experience. The service was really slow due to it being Christmas eve. We first ordered a glass of wine for my mom and then we ordered shooters and a bottle of 🍷. We waited for almost fifteen minutes and nothing. We called our waiter and he told us he was busy and forgot. We were rather annoyed. We ordered a starter and main. My boy friend and I enjoyed our meal and even decided to endulge in a desert which was delicious but my mom was not to impressed with her curry, she said it was very mild although she did request a hot one. I think since this is a fine dining restaurant they need to work on their plating (presentation).

5 adults and one 4 yr old child ate at Gracia East London last night. 4 of us were not happy with the food served. The child did not eat her food. The bill came to R2500 with the tip. Gracia your service sucks lately. Last year October, 11 of us ate at Gracia. The bill was R8600 and again 4 of us were not satisfied with the food and service. For one person to pick up a R8600 tab your food and service should be impeccable, which it is by far not. You have lost me as a customer, also my colleagues and I will tell my friends about your food and service. Maybe you do not need a 8k cash tab payment from one table, who knows.

Review β„–54

Dont be fooled by simple minded reviews just because the menu says fine dining. The word youre looking for here, is overrated.Opting for the recommended prawn starter, we were disappointed to receive a sloppy cheese dish that lacked taste or imagination & most importantly the main ingredient, prawns.They redeemed themselves with a trio of meat dishes consisting of Lamb & T-Bone. Suddenly they were back on track and the wine kept coming.Unfortunately we then ordered dessert. The cheesecake would have disappointed the pallet of a 6 year old & the malva pudding with chocolate sauce seemed a little heat & eat.The food is fine, but thats where the fine dining stops. Rather Go to to Cows Shed & prepare to have your gastronomic mind blown.

My husband and I had a most enjoyable anniversary dinner for two this past weekend.We shared a Medley of Seafood starter which was outstanding, especially the stuffed baby Calamari. For mains I had the spinach Gnocchi in a Alfredo type sauce. It was fresh, perfectly cooked and delicious.The rare fillet Montanya with avo and bacon was a new menu item (for us) - a magnificent mix of textures abs flavors.The atmosphere at Grazia hasnt changed much over the years - they always strive for an upmarket, friendly feel. Patrons are made to feel special - and we did.

My husband an I visited Grazia twice in one week because its just THAT amazing!For appatizers, when you make a booking, they are excited to have you and nothing is too much to ask, the entire staff body is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is stunning a true, graceful sight to see.Our pallet cleanser was our lovely, nectarous waitress, Chichi whom waited us with such confidence, pride and let me tell you she knows how to swoon you into ordering a specific dish and yes, do take her advice on her suggestions as they are on point and deliciously worth it ever single time!For entrees you have nothing but food PERFECTION! We had the excitement of trying 4 different starters with our 2 visits, we experienced this months chef special, oxtail filled calamari which was a delicate, innovative melody of flavour combinations, the butternut soup which is so smooth with each bite it just takes you back to your childhood winter memories. Then 4 different mains, which the fillet Montana is a must have, absolutely succulent piece of beef fillet grilled to absolute perfection layed on chrispy potato slices, topped with melted mozerela cheese, rippled streaky bacon and perfectly ripe tasty avocado...W0W! And then you have the seafood platter which is absolute value for money offering 2 kinds of lovingly grilled fish, big tomato based muscles, 6 perfectly cooked prawns, calamari trio of calamari steak, calamari rings AND baby calamari accompanied by your choice of startch or vegetables all for only R185 worth every sent!!To finish off on our last visit which was Friday the 17th of March 2017, we had to now try the deserts!!! I had the pleasure of enjoying every minute of their creme brulee with deliciously torched sugar and velvety French styled custard. My husband ordered the chocolate browny cheesecake which consists of many flavours and let me tell you the chef knows how to balance out each of them in such a way that you taste each individually in their own unique way!All in all, wrapped in a parcel of greatness, Grazia fine food and wine restaurant is a place of heavenly creations and serves you an unforgettable memory to be treasured!
