Do NOT come to this place! they say there open on goggle and they never are and they don’t have a sign on the door on that there closed. This is the second time we have drove all the way there to have the doors locked. There’s a million ways to post your closed on social media.

The food tasted good, but the service was terrible. The server had a pompous attitude and acted like serving us was a chore.

This place WILL NOT disappoint! The food was outstanding! A definite foodie restaurant with incredible creations. Crab cake- best I’ve ever had. Cajun tortellini had blackened grouper (which would have been a meal in itself) with a cream sauce - great shrimp, andouille, oh yeah, and the tortellini. A small little spot in Santa Rosa, worth the short drive from Destin. Don’t expect a fancy restaurant, but do expect excellent food.
It’s located in a small laid back place which also serves breakfast and lunch with lower price points than dinner. (Bonus points for really good silverware.)

It’s a cozy place with a good menu. I ordered grouper piccata… the grouper was well seasoned and tasted good. The pasta however was way overcooked, almost mushy. Might have sat there for hours! It was supposed to be penne however it was a little bit of penne and more spaghetti. Perhaps they ran out of penne but would have been nice to tell me. The guy at the front had earbuds in and seemed bothered I was there. While waiting for my food I overheard him tell another table that drinks were free from 4pm to 9pm yet was never offered a free drink. In fact I paid for mine. $57 for 4oz grouper over pasta … with lackluster service! Certainly wasn’t deserving of a 20% tip but still gave it as that was the lowest option! I had hopes based on the reviews but I left disappointed!

Great place, great owner, great food.
Overdue review. Went to Santa Rosa Beach 2 months ago and just now getting around to the review.
Food here is top notch. The wife and I ate lunch here and immediately came back for dinner the next night. Excellent ‘bistro’ style selections with local flair.
Go Lions!

We ate here last weekend. Had the filet Oscar & duck fat ribeye. Both meals were absolutely incredible! Best meal we’ve had in a long time. This local is definitely visiting more frequently. Family run business with comfy decor and just the right amount of music so you could hear each other while enjoying great wine!
What a great hidden gem on 30A! I had a custom poke bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server went above and beyond, and we had a wonderful dinjng experience. If you’re local or traveling to 30A, give this place a try!

After a slightly rocky start, the owner stepped up and made it right. Last nite I ordered a takeout meal for early this morning. I was assured it would be ready. When I got there the door was locked even tho the sign was turned to open. I waited about 20-25 min but had to leave. I called and left a message. After I got home, I was surprised the owner called, explained what happened and offered to make it right. And he did. The Chef Salad was excellent - crunchy lettuce, lots of meat and very good dressing
I love his Steak Teriyaki Bowl. Have not tried dinner yet.
Did not write about atmosphere, since I was never inside.
Dietary restrictions: Easy to get a protein and veggies meal which is what I need to eat as a diabetic.
