New American Restaurants near Destin, FL

“Birthday dinner with the fam was great!“

“Great place for date night! Underrated spot in Destin! Food was amazing. Fig flatbread appetizer is melt in your mouth good!“

“I dined on the terrace last night and I cannot stress how perfect everything was. Jennifer, our server, was warm and professional, and had the voice of a soft rock radio DJ—calm and relaxing. I make note of this because we had a baby with us who toes the line between sweet cherub and enraged banshee depending on the atmosphere. We enjoyed the salmon crudo and carpaccio to start. I probably would not have ordered the crudo because I’m not a huge salmon fan but I tend to go with my server’s recommendations and I’m grateful I did; this dish exceeded all expectations. The salmon melts in your mouth, paired with a umami, acidic sauce, the essence of truffle, and some crunchy sweet potato hay on top. I would go back just to have 4 orders of these to stuff my face with. The carpaccio, equally as delicious and with a more remarkable presentation than the usual banal accompaniments of capers and, arugula and shaved Parmesan.

For entrees we both enjoyed steaks, prime New York and prime ribeye. They were each cooked exactly as ordered and the seasoning was applied flawlessly. Accompaniments were also great. Most steakhouses serve their cuts a la carte so it was great that these were served with pomme puree and charred asparagus.

After dessert was offered and I politely declined, somehow my husband talked me into ordering one. I will preface this with the fact that I have been on a low sugar diet for months now and have become pretty disciplined at turning down sweets. This dessert, however, was the pièce de résistance. The fig Mille feuille was something you would expect to see in the finals of The Great British Bakeoff. So elegant and beautiful and one of my favorite desserts I have had in a long while! Even if figs aren’t your bag, trust me, they will be when covered with chantilly cream, flakey, crunchy puff pastry and dipped in the tangy accompanied sauce. This was hands down worth me having to take another 3 days to get back into ketosis and I do not say that lightly.

I implore you, go check out Primrose, ask for Jennifer, and DO NOT skip dessert.“

“My husband had raw oysters and said they were some of the best he ever had. He then got the blackened grouper with an amazing sauce. I had the chicken alfredo and it was delicious! We had a great server, TJ!“

“We ordered from Sarah K’s to be delivered to our weekend beach rental. The food was delicious and in the fridge when we arrived. We highly recommend!“

“The service was good and the wine was great. We got a charcuterie board and the Brie from France was hands down the best cheese I’ve ever had. The reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the small charcuterie board was $30 and I understand the cheese is gourmet, but I still thought that was overpriced. Overall good experience, but expect to pay a little more than you may have thought.“

“Nice layout and decent conditions for this time of the year (February '25). There were a couple of holes closed for renovation and the tee boxes appeared like they had some kind of fungus or something else wrong with them. However, I played here a few years ago when temperature and other weather conditions were better, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars this time around.“

“Number 1 reason we like the village door is the music…Ike is awesome! Great food, atmosphere and views are amazing!!“

“David was amazing. Was one step ahead of us in taking care of our needs. Even noticed my hubby easnt eating his chabatta breaf and offered a different type of bread instead! Who does that! He explained that he doesn't eat bread because he's "fat" lol. But no other waiter has ever noticed or offered a different type.of bread because he thought we were dissatisfied. Amazing customer service keep him and give him a raise!“

“The staff is so friendly here and the food is AWESOME.“

“Twisted Grape is a nice spot with good service and a wide selection on their menu. While nothing really stood out during our visit, I have to say their mac and cheese was very good and definitely worth a try.

Overall, it’s a solid place to visit, and I’d come back again, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re in the area, it’s worth checking out, but don’t expect anything too extraordinary.“

“This place is Amazing! Live music, super friendly and kind staff, { I would tell you how kind my waitress was, but I wouldnt want anyone to try to take advantage of her) I regret that I didnt have proper tip money, but i will make it up to her. There is a beach, cornhole, i think horseshoes, it is child and dog friendly. They even brought ny Stanley his own bouwl. Next review will have photos, Go there as soon as you can. You wont be dissapointed,“

“Delicious food & beautiful back patio!“

“To whom it may concern, my name is Mr Woodbury. I on 12/14/24 had lunch at the Ft Walton Beach establishment. My server was a young man by the name Ethan. The most professional and attentive server I have ever had while dinning at Ft Walton Beach Sonny's. After taking my wife and I order Ethan not once would pass by our booth without checking in on how we where doing.
I've traveled around the world as a Marine and eaten at a many of restaurants. Ethan along with outstanding food and service truly gave us the greatest of experiences.
Thank you Sonny's and thank you Ethan !!

“in there about 50 times since they've been open and I have never had one problem. Correction yes they mistakenly brought me a double order of wings once and did not charge me and as a former restaurant owner of over 28 years I know what to look for. Quality service and cleanliness was acceptable.They exceeded my expectations.“
