28 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rosemary Beach

“Restaurant Paradis delivered one of the most exceptional dining experiences we’ve had in a very long time. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully curated, but what truly set the evening apart was the impeccable service from Rodney. He was attentive without being overbearing, offered stellar recommendations, and genuinely elevated the entire experience, especially as we celebrated my mom’s birthday. He made the night feel personal and unforgettable.

The food was nothing short of divine. We started with the oysters Rockefeller, which were rich, perfectly balanced, and beautifully prepared. The soft shell crab special was outstanding, delicate yet flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The grilled salad and burrata added a fresh, vibrant contrast that tied everything together effortlessly.

For entrées, the filet paired with a tempura lobster tail and truffle was indulgent in all the right ways, each element executed flawlessly. The grouper special “Taste of the Sea,” featuring lump blue crab, a tarragon cream sauce, lobster rice pilaf, was even more impressive, showcasing incredible quality and freshness. The BEST!

And to finish, the chocolate orange torte was the perfect ending, decadent, refined, and absolutely delicious.

We all left the table saying the same thing: this was the best meal we’ve had in a very long time. Restaurant Paradis exceeded every expectation, and we cannot wait to return.“

“We had a 6pm reservation and were greeted happily by the hostess and were sat at our table promptly. The atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered one drink, something with pear, that was so refreshing and delicious. My husband’s NY Strip was cooked to perfection, and my stuffed chicken dish was excellent. The BRUSSELS!!! Very good. Our service was phenomenal, and the attention of the staff (never once did we need a water refill, never once was there a dirty dish on our table) was superb. Highly recommended for an elevated dining experience!“

“We love being a part of this market showcasing Mermaids Magic Sea Moss“

“The place was pretty good, and I'm not the biggest fan of seafood. I didn't go to crazy, got the shrimp and andouille skewers and the seasoning on it all was actually great. And I didn't expect to like the wild rice but it was surprisingly very good, I finished every last grain. The shrimp and crab quesadilla was alright. A bit too fishy for what it should have been, nothing special. stars“

“Great Food!!! It was sooo good and easy! We had the 2 steamer pots for our family of 8 and we had plenty!!! Service was amazing…they were having some work issues that day but they were more than willing to work with us and made a special trip to meet us at the store for our food pick up!! Thank you! We highly recommend and will return!“

“We went here last night 6.19.25 & Paris was our waitress and she went above and beyond. This place was packed from the moment it opened, we were her first night table of 12& she instantly had a bigger table of 15 and she handled both with grace and the most professionalism! We will 100% be back because of the food and Paris! Also, the food was so amazing. Great portion sizes! Outside there is a pool full of alligators that you can look at while you wait!“

The only place we could find near our hotel w/ vegan options. Great service from our waiter Kamau on multiple visits, and beautiful views of the sunsets over the beach.“

“My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Edward’s in Rosemary Beach. They’re typically only open for dinner, but we were fortunate to experience one of their special daytime brunches—and it was a standout from start to finish! Jimmy, the GM, welcomed us and had us seated quickly on their covered patio, which was perfect even with the steady rain. The chef created a beautiful brunch menu for the occasion, and our server, Kiyonta, was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with Deviled Eggs, the Seasonal Fruit Plate, and the Caesar Salad—each dish fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented. For our entrées, we chose the Shrimp and Grits (incredible!), the Lox and Avocado, and Edward’s Omelet. Every bite was delicious, and the plating was as impressive as the flavors. We ended our meal with a trio of desserts: the housemade ice cream sandwich, crème brûlée, and key lime pie. Each one was delightful, but the ice cream sandwich may have stolen the show. Huge thanks to the Edward’s team for making our rainy Mother’s Day feel special and memorable. If you’re in Rosemary Beach, Edward’s MUST be on your list!“
