The coastline here is undeniably part of our identity. Most of Santa Barbara County is not far from the ocean. The Santa Barbara Harbor offers an opportunity to treat yourself to a good meal in a stunning location. Gracie is run by Grace Austin and Dudley Michael, two local restaurateurs who’ve brought us spots like The Shop on Milpas and Little Kitchen downtown, and who currently operate the Rodeo Room near the Funk Zone.

This duo know how to push a few creative boundaries and continually offer delectable bites with a beckoning ambiance. Utilizing seasonal ingredients from local purveyors, they offer brunch and dinner alongside a lineup of craft cocktails. If location is everything, Gracie is the cherry on top, offering that and good food. Give yourself time to discover (or rediscover) the harbor experience that visitors travel for yet has always been here for residents to enjoy.

Rosminah Brown is a Santa Barbara native who types fast and eats slow. She once jumped in the Neptune Pool at Hearst’s Castle. She is still upset that JR’s BBQ closed. She is always seeking a perfect, singular, exquisite bite of food.
