Just had a wonderful experience at Bitterroot, will definitely be returning. The service was incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious-- everyone in my party loved their food, desserts included. Even the kids pizza was delicious. The cocktails were also divine. This is a wonderful place for Sunday brunch or date night. Very calming ambience.Parking: Large parking lot, plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: The kids menu includes cheese pizza, chicken tenders or a burger. The french fries are delicious!
Had the crawfish gnocchi dish. OUTSTANDING. It was nice to get away from the typical overly fried Florida cuisine and to actually eat something that was not deep fried. The food here is outstanding. We also had the salad with steak. Phenomenal. Drinks were nice and strong. Will definitely return if I ever come back to Destin.

Amazing Amazing Amazing..... My Husband and I make an effort to go every season and try out the new menu and The chef ?? never and I mean never disappoint. Great atmosphere and the crew is like a family and takes great care of you. All the way down to making custom cocktails for their customers. I always make sure to ask for a Brad special. They have the best cocktails and food around. Next time you find yourself in Destin stop in and take a chance on this little gem of a resturant.

Best restaurant in Destin. My favorite restaurant in Destin. Only place like it in Destin. Chef Chad has incredible dishes seasonally & the cocktails are always intriguing. Craig is the man. Go when he is there.

Food and cocktails were delicious and perfectly made.Our server Deverick (I may have misspelled his name) was awesome, great energy and on top of everything. In fact every staff member I interacted with were nice, friendly, upbeat and happy to help. Worked together as a team which is always great to see.Music was fun house/beats very upbeat. Restaurants design was awesome, fit the theme well. Not a huge space but they have tables for every sized party, I'd say definitely make a reservation if you're bringing a large party.Perfect place for date nights, trying to impress clients, going to get great cocktails with friends, Vacationers, and locals a like.10/10 recommend. we'll definitely be back sooner than later.

The care in putting this menu together while working with local farmers and not compromising for bringing real organically sourced food to the community is absolutely commendable. One of the best farm to table restaurants I've ever had - and we own our own in TN. Fantastic gem.

This is my favorite lunch stop and I hope to catch them for dinner soon. The food and service is impeccable. It's not your typical tourist town deep-fried garbage, but really well done and tasty dishes. Be sure to get the whipped feta!

Every year, for our anniversary, my husband and I like to find a new local places to eat. This year, Bitterroot was our choice. Due to us keeping this review short and sweet, all we can say is that the food was out of this world. Both the chef and sous chef were definitely cooking with happiness. It did take some time for us to get our food, but the filet and rissotto were cooked to order, and the shrimp and grits had levels of flavor that kept making me want more. I would definitely recommend Bitterroot to those who are looking for great food, service, and atmosphere.

Decided to have a float next door and asked the young lady about the food next door. She raved about the appetizers and entrees! Perfect for what I needed. Decided to try the Nutty goat flatbread, between the Gouda, figs and the black pepper dressing…the variety of flavors on my pallet were divine. Moving on to the Coconut &Lemongrass braised short rib, I do believe I took my time and devoured every savory bite. This is a hidden gem on Commons Drive West and the absolute perfect place for a large gathering, date night or single dining such as myself. Kuddos to the staff and Chef!
Wow, this place is a hidden gem! Forego all of the touristy places, serving up the same old fare. The food and service at Bitterroot is fantastic. We had the whipped ricotta, short rib, shrimp and grits, bone marrow risotto and bread pudding – all were excellent. The bone marrow risotto – that's a chef's kiss! Bitterroot would do well in Chicago, where the market is very competitive. Seriously, check this place out!

A few days ago we ate at Bitterroot. it was amazing. But there was a man in the restaurant that was so angry about a small credit card fee, that he made a scene, embarrassed the woman he was with, and wouldn't let up. I almost got up and asked to pay his bill. This is a sweet restaurant and the people working there are wonderful. Even better...the food is amazing. Please don't be upset with a small CC fee. Dr. Missirlian and I will be back often. After I get back from Africa. from Penny Missirlian

With the economy less than ideal, I find it hard to find a meal worth the cost when food quality is often much higher quality and cheaper preparing at home. Bitterroot obviously employed a chef with experience and education. The blend of ingredients on every dish my wife and I had was refreshingly exquisite. The best part was that the food was not overpriced.Overall, Bitterroot impressed me enough to write a review. It's a cozy little place inside with almost a speakeasy exterior. It could be easily overlooked if not specifically searching for the place. It's definitely a little gem worth going at least once to understand what I'm talking about. It's perfect for an intimate date, an office get together, or just pop in for a drink at the above average bar they have there. I didn't partake, but through observation, it seemed Bitterroot puts just as much customer service and quality control with their drinks as with their food.
