The wine room looks amazing and all the decorations are fantastic. While the place was really busy you really couldn’t hear anyone else conversations and it still remained elegant with your friends and family. They decorated the table for the event that was being celebrated and the staff was very attentive and made sure that their service didn’t interrupt your privacy. The manager checked on all the tables and the staff knew their menu back and front. Everything being a la carte seems expensive but all their sides are for 2+. They also have the fixed price which includes a protein, appetizer, limited side selection and a dealers choice dessert. Will cost 100+ here but if you want a nice evening out, it’s worth it.”

“Fabulous ambience, very creative island-centric vibes menu for drinks. Flavors were great – though for my frequent traveling, exploring new coffee shops being my most consistent venture, I will say these are among some of the most expensive brews I've come across, at least relative to size. Staff seemed all on different pages. I noted differences they were having in running operations. One barista sat reading her book while I asked 3x to place my order. I work in a cafe from time to time, so I know it could've just been a "SHE'S on the register, I'M only doing drinks today"... but still, when a guest is standing right in front of you with no other employee, obviously speaking to/repeating themself to you, if you absolutely truly cannot assist them, at the very least say, "Sorry, I don't know how to [XYZ]."”

My family and I found this place on google and decided to try it, at first we were a bit nervous because we have an autistic son and weren’t sure we’d be welcome. We were greeted and served amazingly by Kayleigh the entire time! My son eventually had a small emotional outburst and knocked over a glass of water making a small scene and I immediately was reduced to tears because I could hear the other patrons talking about us, immediately I felt humiliated and maybe we were at the wrong place. Kayleigh came out and helped me wipe up the water with towels and was so incredibly kind and understanding!! Thank you Kayleigh! You are a gem!”

It’s juicy, melty, perfectly seasoned, and only available during the first week of every month, which makes it feel like a culinary holiday. Pro tip: set a reminder and don’t miss it. I’d camp out for that dip. Do yourself a favor and give Lady Ray’s a visit—you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next order.”

The Palms Coffeehouse 4201 Indian Bayou Trail, Destin Coffee Shops • $

“Fabulous ambience, very creative island-centric vibes menu for drinks. Flavors were great – though for my frequent traveling, exploring new coffee shops being my most consistent venture, I will say these are among some of the most expensive brews I've come across, at least relative to size. Staff seemed all on different pages. I noted differences they were having in running operations. One barista sat reading her book while I asked 3x to place my order. I work in a cafe from time to time, so I know it could've just been a "SHE'S on the register, I'M only doing drinks today"... but still, when a guest is standing right in front of you with no other employee, obviously speaking to/repeating themself to you, if you absolutely truly cannot assist them, at the very least say, "Sorry, I don't know how to [XYZ]."”

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

“Ruth Chris doesn’t hold back, you know exactly what to expect when you get here. Quality food, amazing service and a great atmosphere. The wine room looks amazing and all the decorations are fantastic. While the place was really busy you really couldn’t hear anyone else conversations and it still remained elegant with your friends and family. They decorated the table for the event that was being celebrated and the staff was very attentive and made sure that their service didn’t interrupt your privacy. The manager checked on all the tables and the staff knew their menu back and front. Everything being a la carte seems expensive but all their sides are for 2+. They also have the fixed price which includes a protein, appetizer, limited side selection and a dealers choice dessert. Will cost 100+ here but if you want a nice evening out, it’s worth it.”

We are vegetarians and they were very polite, informative and accommodating, and remembered us when we came back. Highly recommend.”
