“This is an absolute must stop if you are in the area. The Philly with their special sauce was insanely good. Same with the fries.My wife had the gyro and we have had many in our life but she said this was the best she's had.To top it all off we got a chocolate chunk cookie. Amazing.Super friendly and quick service and although it's a small place, it's exactly the kind of atmosphere you'd expect for a sandwich shop. Very cool vibe with all the retro pictures throughout.Make this a priority to stop here if you love food. It's worth going out of the way if you need to.“

“We went for a girls night. The venue is pretty loud so just know that if you are seated upstairs and maybe ask for a downstairs table. The food is very good and service was exceptional. We had one dinner miso Eder and the server was so apologetic and the chef made it right very promptly. There is a wide variety of seafood entrees and each looked delicious and well prepared. I took a few picks of the ordered entrees at our table. I would dine here again.“

With an impressive selection of drinks and appetizers at discounted prices, it was the ideal way to unwind and indulge before diving into our main course. Patrick's Restaurant truly knows how to elevate the happy hour experience.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the seafood. Each dish we tried was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and freshness. From succulent shrimp to perfectly grilled fish, every bite was bursting with flavor.

“Ordered the fillet with a side of two scallops. Ordered the Aji tuna appetizer. All was fantastic! Other items in pics collard greens and truffle fries. Delicious! Ordered the salted caramel brownie. Way to chocolate-y for me. Thought there would be more caramel. Would not get this again. Each table has a light and I LOVE that.“

I'd love to see them showcase what the flight pairing selections are upfront so that I can make a more informed decision next time. That said, the food was delicious! will be back.“

“I just want to say that Ms. Tabby, the owner, and all of the staff family are AMAZING!!! We were welcomed with open arms and the hospitality was endless! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. We joined our Grayton Seafood Co. family twice while on our trip and the food was excellent! We couldn’t get enough of the calamari and crab claws. Both outside and indoor seating was great; we had the opportunity to hit the dance floor with Chevy and listen to some great music after our WONDERFUL bread pudding and chocolate cake…Please visit this lovely establishment, it will make your trip 1000x better!- Love, Kennedy and Family“

“Good place for good food. The grouper I had came quick and hot. The portions were big. The prices were reasonable. The only negative is would share is the amount of toppings on the Grouper took away from the taste of the fish. Also, the waitress didn't know if the fish was locally caught. There were 4 of us that all had something different and overall we enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant.“

“I ordered online and paid for it through their website. It was very seamless and easy to order. When I got there, it was easy to pick up the food. I got the food to go and surprisingly the food was delicious, well packed, and fresh. I got the shrimp tacos and they were well seasoned. I appreciate it that the shrimp of adequate size, not little mini shrimp. I love all the fresh flavors in the taco. I would definitely come back again. Service was so easy. The atmosphere looked really cute to sit inside or out. Parking was easy.“

“A Gem of a Coffee Experience at AmavidaVisiting Amavida Coffee both in Rosemary Beach and Seaside turned out to be a highlight of my Florida trip. The ambiance of both locations is a perfect blend of comfort and artistic flair, making each visit a unique experience. Their commitment to sustainability is evident not just in their delicious organic coffee, but also in the range of sustainable products like the sweatshirts, which are not only eco-friendly but stylish too.The latte in Rosemary Beach was crafted to perfection, offering the right balance of espresso and milk - a true delight for any coffee lover. Meanwhile, the Seaside location impressed me with its delightful cheese Danish and scrumptious macarons, each bite better than the last. The variety and quality of their pastries are commendable.What truly sets Amavida apart, though, is the beautiful art that adorns their walls, adding an enriching layer to the overall experience. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a celebration of local culture and artistry. I highly recommend Amavida Coffee to anyone looking for exceptional coffee, delightful treats, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Amavida is a must-visit destination.Parking: Street sideKid-friendliness: I was able to enjoy my coffee while my kids enjoyed their time there.“
