“My boyfriend took me here for my birthday & I loved every minute of it! The staff were so welcoming and very accommodating. They continuously checked in on my boyfriend and I to ensure we liked what we were eating/drinking. I believe I met the owner as well, who was very sweet as well. Coming here for my birthday dinner was the best thing ever!!“

“Party of 5 for lunch. Friendly and efficient service. Oysters, shrimp, catfish, fish tacos, grilled chicken breast sandwich and fries were tasty. Worth the visit and will return. Firecracker Shrimp is very good. Not as spicy as it could have been.“

“We ate at this restaurant several times while on vacation. It exceeded our expectations every time! We loved the seasonal specials. Service was friendly and amazing. The chef should be on Top Chef—such delicious food. We will be back!Dietary restrictions: I have celiac disease & they were very sensitive to that. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken in my salad was fried in rice flour in oil that other fried foods weren’t fried in. Thank you!“

“I don't know how it took me so long to go to this awesome wine bar right by the Commons in Destin. I've seen it forever and just went there for the first time this evening with two friends/colleagues. The service was excellent and when I learned that it is run by a family that really made sense. Everyone was so friendly. The charcuterie board we ordered was delicious and full of flavorful cheese, fruit, meats, and a variety of items I've actually never even tried before. Everything was delicious. Their happy hour was great and I will definitely be back.“

“Can't rave enough about this restaurant and our experience! Was the perfect anniversary spot. Small, intimate dining room with unbeatable ocean views from any seat. Outdoor tables, coveted in the spring weather. Absolutely fabulous elevated food options, attentive and friendly service willing to provide recommendations and accomodations. Our reservation was at 6p (in April) which was perfectly timed to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. Destin may be a tourist hellscape, but this location is a secluded, quiet, hidden gem.“

“Craft Bar on Grand Blvd is not just a place to grab a drink; it's where I experienced the vibrant heart of the local craft scene. Nestled in the lively Grand Blvd, its artisan cocktails and welcoming atmosphere are set against a backdrop of bustling shops and eateries, making it a standout spot for unwinding and savoring the craftsmanship in every sip.“

“this place is one of the best places i have ever had happy and the customer service is absolutely amazing!! they are one of the best places to grab a quick bite or even sit for hour on end. they have the best atmosphere!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“The absolute best BBQ on the Emerald Coast. They have brisket, ribs, pork, chicken, sausage and turkey in a plate, sandwich, salad, with mac and cheese or on a loaded baked potato. The sides are greens, BBQ beans, potato salad, cole slaw or roasted vegetables. The price is very reasonable and the servings are generous. The staff is very friendly and courteous. When drive into the parking lot, you can smell the meat smoking!“

“Great dining any time but go for happy hour. Good food and drink specials. We like the Casa Rita - a steal at $6.50. I had the cilantro salad with salmon (not a happy hour item) and it was fantastic. Servers are prompt and attentive. Atmosphere is lively and fun.“

“We are locals and have come here about 5 times now with our family. This place is a hidden gem and very underrated. It never fails. We walked right in, the service was great, awesome decor, and the rolls were so good that we re ordered after our first round. Average sushi prices and perfect little cheap kids menu if you have young ones too.“

“Superb seafood, excellent service and great ambiance make for a delightful time at Seagars. The seafood is fresh and cooked perfectly. The Blackened lobster was delicious. The bananas foster presentation is amazing and the dessert tastes even better. Excellent choice for a special evening.“

“Excellent service, good food and enjoyable view of all the beautiful boats in the marina. Chandler was our server during dinner, and we had an awesome experience. Then, the next day, my teenage son ventured over to the Marina while out exploring and fishing the property. I want to give a special shout out to Ms. Tara for making my kid feel welcomed and valued during all of his refills for Sprite. It's nice to know the staff here are good to kids, even when the parents aren't looking. These little gestures make a memorable experience for vacationing kids, and give us parents even more reason to visit again next year. Thank you for your kindness.Kid-friendliness: Sure, technically, its a bar inside. However, there is a HUGE outdoor seating area, and the staff treated both my teenage boys very kindly. We saw lots of kids eating here with their parents. It is appropriate for kids. Plus they have a talking parrot!“
