“Local who frequents the Shunk fairly often. Monday night was a first disappointment in this place - multiple tables open on the patio but a 30+ minute wait as they stated they only had 2 servers and couldn’t seat anyone. Went upstairs to wait at the bar - the Bartender tells me they have 6 waitstaff on first level - wtf? The tent area has to go - people visit this place for the scenery/views/vibe and being stuck inside a white pop up tent is not it. Waitress smelled like fresh cigarette smoke walking up in your face to take your order. Just a massive disappointment all around with family in town - makes me second guess going here again“

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!“

When I tell you this is the best all around restaurant we have tried while on vacation I am not kidding. The quality and portion size for the price point cannot be beat. Everything we had was perfect. Service was excellent and we ate in less than an hour. 10/10 recommended and we will be back every time we visit.“

“Highlight of our trip! Chef Patrick catered an in home dinner for our family celebrating my parents’ 50th in June 2023 at the house we rented for the week. He worked with me on the menu, accommodating varying adult preferences and making sure our ages 9-15 kids were well fed too. We had so much fun watching him cook and talking that we never actually went to the dining room and instead chose to sit around the kitchen counter. The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and he made sure the kitchen was spotless before he left. Although it was a bit of a splurge, it was worth every penny and we would have Patrick back in a heartbeat!“

“On our bike ride from Seaside to Alys Beach, we fell upon old Florida fish house by accident about halfway. It’s right on 30a as you cross a bridge over in waterway. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it is the coolest place. You will feel like you’re in a different place eating outside in there. They were serving a Sunday brunch when we arrived. We saw a bloody Mary bar and we decided to stay. The bloody Mary’s were delicious. We ordered three breakfasts and we enjoyed them all. We had the eggs with a duck fat potatoes, and it was delicious. Our friends had avocado toast with egg and one of them had avocado toast with smoked salmon. They had a pretty accommodating gluten-free options.I can’t even explain what it’s like in there. They even had music playing in the garden.It was such a nice find. We will definitely make it back there. Next time we come to Seaside. \nJust stop in and look.“
