“We visited Fort Walton for the first time and I had already planned to visit this restaurant. I was so excited because of what I saw on the internet. It absolutely did not disappoint. We enjoyed the nachos & mixed drinks. The scavenger hunt was so much fun with my husband and 3 year old and the alligator show was so educational. We will definitely go back!! Oh, and we met “Henry” the 1 year old baby gator that we took a photo with!”

Fish On Seafood House 791 Harbor Blvd, Destin Seafood • $$

“Went to Fish-On in Destin today and had an awesome experience. The manager and chef both came out and introduced themselves, which you don’t see much anymore. We learned they’re one of only three restaurants in Destin serving locally caught seafood that’s truly fresh — never frozen — and you can taste the difference. The chef has been on Hell’s Kitchen twice, and you can tell he takes real pride in what he puts on the plate. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the prices were surprisingly fair for the quality you’re getting. If you’re in Destin and want something legit, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend.”

Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.)

Red Onion Organic 529 Harbor Blvd, Destin Mediterranean • $$

“A hidden gem in Destin! A tiny spot with parking in the back. The atmosphere is quaint with maybe 7 tables inside and 4 tables outside. I’d imagine during peak season you’d need a reservation. Out bottle beer and champagne split was not ice cold, but that’s the only thing I’d complain about. I had the gyro platter, the meat was perfectly seasoned and served over a bed of rice. The salad was served on the same platter with a nice balsamic type dressing and plenty of feta cheese crumbles. My husband ordered the Swedish meatballs served on garlic mashed potatoes and the salad on the same platter. He did say some of meatballs were a touch overcooked but over all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.”

Ruth's Chris Steak House 15000 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin Steak House • $$$$

“What I loved: flavors, ambiance, value for what we received. Friendliness of the staff.
Parking can be difficult, they do offer valet.
This was our first visit. Jerry was a fabulous server, all of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jerry asked us uo front if we need a fast or leisurely pace for our dining experience, which I appreciated.
Definitely recommend making a reservation. This is a high end restaurant, do expect a to spend. I did feel we received great value for what we did spend, and it was so delicious. I honestly did not expect to enjoy the food as much as I did.

We visited the Saturday before Valentine's Day. We had a 5 pm reservation. We arrived about 10 minutes early, and were shown straight to our table. It was a half booth with a high back. Very comfortable. Jerry greeted us quickly, and as it was our first visit, explained a bit about the restaurant.
We selected from the 3 for $60 menu. I ordered the soup, French onion, as a 1st course. My husband the steakhouse salad. Portions were perfect and larger than expected. My husband liked his salad, feeling it was a great balance of lettuce to other greens (a common complaint of his at other restaurants). I love French onion soup, and this one was great. A lovely dark broth semi sweet onions, and wonderfully browned cheese.

I ordered the 6oz filet with shrimp as my second course, medium rare, with garlic mashed potatoes as a side. My husband opted for a 16 oz ribeye for an up-chrge, medium. He also had the garlic mp. The steaks are served on 500° plates, which kept them deliciously warm while we ate, I love that. The seasonings were delicious, and the shrimp quite large. Our mashed potatoes were very creamy and tasty. There was quite a bit more mashed potatoes than I was expecting.

Our final course was cheesecake. They offer two flavors on the 3 for $60 menu, so we each ordered one and then split them. They were again a perfect size, served with fresh berries and a drizzle of fruit sauce. I preferred the plain cheesecake flavor, my husband the chocolate. Both were creamy and delicious, and the berries just ripe.

We will definitely visit again, but it cannot be a frequent experience for us based on the price. Again, while I feel it was worth what we paid, it is higher than a frequent experience can be for us.

Thank you for making our night special!!”

Vinny McGuire's 29 Harbor Blvd, Destin Pizza • $

“Not bad pizza overall. Unfortunately they force you to get three toppings, or if you want less you still pay for three…? Most bizarre was the fact that they actually consider the mozzarella or “other cheese” as one of the three toppings??? That’s not NY, might be central FLA, which is fine. As the review started, not bad pizza but floppy especially if you order more than a topping. “Three toppings” intention actually means in ADDITION to the cheese. 12” for $22 is crazy & the gimmick of an 18” for $27 clarifies the gimmick. Order the pizza to be cooked “well done” & hopefully that should help with floppiness without burning. Enough of the pizza dissection. The small bar portion is cozy & half price HH is great! Will be back for HH, not certain for grub.”

Definitely recommend making a reservation. This is a high end restaurant, do expect a to spend. I did feel we received great value for what we did spend, and it was so delicious. I honestly did not expect to enjoy the food as much as I did.

We visited the Saturday before Valentine's Day. We had a 5 pm reservation. We arrived about 10 minutes early, and were shown straight to our table. It was a half booth with a high back. Very comfortable. Jerry greeted us quickly, and as it was our first visit, explained a bit about the restaurant.
We selected from the 3 for $60 menu. I ordered the soup, French onion, as a 1st course. My husband the steakhouse salad. Portions were perfect and larger than expected. My husband liked his salad, feeling it was a great balance of lettuce to other greens (a common complaint of his at other restaurants). I love French onion soup, and this one was great. A lovely dark broth semi sweet onions, and wonderfully browned cheese.

I ordered the 6oz filet with shrimp as my second course, medium rare, with garlic mashed potatoes as a side. My husband opted for a 16 oz ribeye for an up-chrge, medium. He also had the garlic mp. The steaks are served on 500° plates, which kept them deliciously warm while we ate, I love that. The seasonings were delicious, and the shrimp quite large. Our mashed potatoes were very creamy and tasty. There was quite a bit more mashed potatoes than I was expecting.

Our final course was cheesecake. They offer two flavors on the 3 for $60 menu, so we each ordered one and then split them. They were again a perfect size, served with fresh berries and a drizzle of fruit sauce. I preferred the plain cheesecake flavor, my husband the chocolate. Both were creamy and delicious, and the berries just ripe.

We will definitely visit again, but it cannot be a frequent experience for us based on the price. Again, while I feel it was worth what we paid, it is higher than a frequent experience can be for us.

Thank you for making our night special!!”

“Hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had! We sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be taken care of by Ricky and Sheyla, both of whom were so warm, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. They made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. I don’t personally drink, and they didn’t make it awkward or treat it like a hassle at all. Instead, they brought out an ice-cold Heineken 0.0, poured it into a chilled mug, and even added a lime wedge without me asking. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel included and taken care of. Ricky and Sheyla also gave us amazing food recommendations. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos with charro beans, and let me just say, I’m still thinking about those beans. They were loaded with tender pieces of brisket that added such depth of flavor. The tacos came topped with a fresh mango pineapple salsa that had actual chunks of pineapple and mango, so juicy, sweet, and perfectly balanced with the fish. The queso was also super fresh and flavorful, and they made sure our chips were always topped off. The attention to detail really made the whole experience feel elevated without being pretentious. On top of all that, they took the time to chat with us and even gave us some awesome local recommendations for things to do after dinner. It’s rare to find staff who are not only great at their jobs but also so down-to-earth and genuinely kind. Highly recommend sitting at the bar if you can, Ricky and Sheyla are a dream team! We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in town. An all-around fantastic vibe, incredible service, and delicious food!”
