“It was our first time at Mimmo’s. I had the vodka pasta and my husband had the meat lasagna. Both dishes were outstanding, as well as the bread. The only thing that really tainted our experience was the service. It took 5-7 minutes for any staff member to speak to us besides the hostess that sat us. One finally asked if we had been helped and proceeded to serve us. Towards the end of our meal (around 8:45, they close at 9), our waiter took off his apron, and the rest of the staff started closing up the place. This including sweeping and shutting off some of the lights. I’ve worked in the service industry and this was seen as rude and untoward. I’ve never worked in a restaurant that we were allowed to both take off our uniforms and start closing while customers were still present. Really sad because the food was incredible.”

The ambiance is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal after a day at the beach.One of the highlights of our visits was the fantastic happy hour offered from 3:00 to 5:00. With an impressive selection of drinks and appetizers at discounted prices, it was the ideal way to unwind and indulge before diving into our main course. Patrick's Restaurant truly knows how to elevate the happy hour experience.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the seafood. Each dish we tried was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and freshness. From succulent shrimp to perfectly grilled fish, every bite was bursting with flavor. The seafood is sourced locally, ensuring a true taste of the Gulf in every dish.In addition to the exceptional seafood offerings, Patrick's Restaurant also boasts a diverse menu catering to all palates. Whether you're craving a hearty steak or a fresh salad, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The attention to detail in every dish is evident, reflecting the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff.Of course, no dining experience would be complete without exemplary service, and Patrick's Restaurant delivers on all fronts. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate special requests.In conclusion, Goatfeathers exceeded all expectations during our vacation.

Crackings - Grayton 51 Uptown Grayton Cir, Santa Rosa Beach Breakfast • $

“Went here for Easter breakfast after church. It was our first time, and we'll definitely be going back. The food is really good (menu selection and quality), but the service is amazing. Great staff. Friendly, helpful and very attentive. We sat outdoors which was nice, but next time I think we'll try inside. Gouda Grits were amazing as were the chicken and waffles, but I'm a big Southern food lover. There are of course plenty of other dishes from which to chose if that's not your thing. If you're up and around early in the morning near Grayton Beach, this is the place.”

The cupcake was moist and the whipped frosting with fruit was the perfect topping on a warm day. Will definitely be returning to try more of what they have to offer!”

We absolutely will make this a tradition each year with our annual trip to Destin. 10/10 recommend”

Cafe Tango 14 Vicki St, Santa Rosa Beach Seafood • $$$

“So, my family and I have been vacationing in Santa Rosa Beach for 15 + years. Almost always, we stay in Old Florida Village. I've driven by Cafe Tango a multitude of times but for some reason, never eaten there.Until last night.After a late afternoon at the beach, I called Cafe Tango and was able to make a reservation for 7:30 p.m., probably because the real crowds arrive for spring break next week. When we arrived, all of the tables in the small restaurant were filled with diners, all of whom appeared to be enjoying their meals.What followed for my family and me - including my sons, 15 and 12, was one of the best meals we have ever had in or around 30A (and we've eaten at a lot of restaurants). Impeccable, friendly service, absolutely delicious food, and excellent wine.The dishes - Dancing Fish, Basque Fish, and Lobster Ravioli were, literally, to die for, and I mean that. The Baked Brie appetizer was worth the trip alone. My 12 year old raved about it!Honestly, just a fantastic dining experience at a local restaurant that is independently owned and has been in business for 25 years. I promise you we will return again and again in years to come when we drive down from Nashville.”

Coastside 30A 5221 E County Hwy 30A, Santa Rosa Beach Beer Bar • $$

“The love I have for Coastside is endless, primarily because of one specific item they have on their menu: their frose. People...when I say this is the best frose on the planet...I MEAN IT. I had this frose two years ago and thought about it every day since. When I finally came back to 30a, the number one thing on my list to do was get frose from Coastside. I could talk endlessly about their frose, I'm serious it truly is THAT GOOD. I've never had this good of frose anywhere else. My sister says I am being dramatic but I don't deny it. However, I will say it is seriously delicious. If you're a frose lover DO NOT MISS THIS SPOT!!! For non-frose lovers, know that this spot has more than just that. Their outside seating area is adorable and fun, a great spot for kids. Lots of live music and games to play. Perfect spot to watch the sunset and enjoy a beer or glass of wine. I love visiting Coastside, it's probably my favorite dining (drinking?) spot on 30a.”

“We are locals. I don’t understand the negative reviews. I will say, we know the difference in the different AJ’s’ as well as the past iterations of this place, so perhaps our expectations are different. So, I will say our usual visits here are for music and drinks. But we just enjoyed a fantastic brunch here in the courtyard area. There was plenty of shade, the live music was phenomenal, there were large portions for the price (no photos but I had the lobster rolls and my husband had the country fried steak plate ). The food was well seasoned. But the highlight was the service from our wonderful server Michelle! 10 stars for her! She was always there when we needed anything without being intrusive. She was perfection and took our experience over-the-top! So highly recommend brunch with live music in the front patio!”

“Went here for lunch with wife and kid. Food was good. Service was decent. They really need a kid's menu. We got a simple "Americano" taco, but the ground beef was spicy. I love spicy ground beef, but kids don't. Our waitress didn't say anything when we ordered it which is also very disappointing. I understand it's a cantina but if you want a good mixed lunch crowd in a vacation destination, you need to cater to kids for at least part of the day, like when people are less likely to be drinking (lunchtime).”
