Catfish was good, wings were absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back soon to try oysters and more.

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.“

“A Seafood Haven in DestinDuring our recent vacation in Destin, Florida, my companions and I had the pleasure of dining at Goatfeathers Restaurant not once, but three times. Located just outside of Destin, this culinary gem, under the attentive management of Patrick, left an indelible mark on our taste buds and vacation memories.Patrick's Restaurant is a seafood lover's paradise. From the moment we stepped through the door, the aroma of freshly prepared seafood greeted us, setting the stage for a remarkable dining experience. The ambiance is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal after a day at the beach.One of the highlights of our visits was the fantastic happy hour offered from 3:00 to 5:00. 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. The seafood is sourced locally, ensuring a true taste of the Gulf in every dish.In addition to the exceptional seafood offerings, Patrick's Restaurant also boasts a diverse menu catering to all palates. Whether you're craving a hearty steak or a fresh salad, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The attention to detail in every dish is evident, reflecting the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff.Of course, no dining experience would be complete without exemplary service, and Patrick's Restaurant delivers on all fronts. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate special requests.In conclusion, Goatfeathers exceeded all expectations during our vacation. With its fantastic happy hour, impeccable seafood dishes, and top-notch service, it's a must-visit for any food enthusiast traveling to the area. Whether you're a local or a visitor, dining at Patrick's is an experience you won't soon forget.“

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“

“The Cioppino was spectacular! Large sized scallops and jumbo shrimps. Wow! Tomato based broth was so comforting. Kim the owner was kind and welcoming. This is a small restaurant. I was half way sitting in the kitchen it felt like but it was so inviting I didn't mine since I was there alone. Definitely would recommend getting a reservation for more than 3 guest. The restaurant got crowded quick. No paper menu--Kim comes to your table and tells you what's on the menu for the night. You can tell she loves her job and does a wonderful job at it!“

“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.“

“So, my family and I have been vacationing in Santa Rosa Beach for 15 + years. Almost always, we stay in Old Florida Village. I've driven by Cafe Tango a multitude of times but for some reason, never eaten there.Until last night.After a late afternoon at the beach, I called Cafe Tango and was able to make a reservation for 7:30 p.m., probably because the real crowds arrive for spring break next week. When we arrived, all of the tables in the small restaurant were filled with diners, all of whom appeared to be enjoying their meals.What followed for my family and me - including my sons, 15 and 12, was one of the best meals we have ever had in or around 30A (and we've eaten at a lot of restaurants). Impeccable, friendly service, absolutely delicious food, and excellent wine.The dishes - Dancing Fish, Basque Fish, and Lobster Ravioli were, literally, to die for, and I mean that. The Baked Brie appetizer was worth the trip alone. My 12 year old raved about it!Honestly, just a fantastic dining experience at a local restaurant that is independently owned and has been in business for 25 years. I promise you we will return again and again in years to come when we drive down from Nashville.“

“We stumbled upon the new “Boardwalk Bar” addition on the back side of the Shrimp Shack while out searching for dinner and drinks one evening and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food (the Lobster roll, Mac-n-cheese and Royal Red Shrimp were excellent) and drinks. The location and atmosphere are great as well (you have Gulf views) but what really makes the place is the friendly staff, from the bartenders (Lily, Taylor, Lauren, Justin, Joey, Batia and Alli to name a few) to the managers (Kevin and Baron). Super friendly and accommodating folks who really take care of you ! It’ll be one of our “go to” places when making future trips down to Seaside. Simply put, a great place …..great atmosphere/food….. but even better people !!“

WaterColor Beach Club American • $$$
24 Goldenrod Cir, Santa Rosa Beach

“I just feel like it’s not worth the price point. The beach club is not exclusive to only resort members. The lazy River is not on resort property, you have to drive there. It’s just not the resort experience I was looking for. No towels down at the beach. Our room didn’t get cleaned the second day. Turndown service just never showed up when we told the day cleaning that we’d wait for turndown. She made a note and we made sure to be out of the room and got skipped entirely. We couldn’t figure out how to get to the beach club from our floor without walking around the entire resort from outside the front doors and the beach club kids working there were no help. Beautiful location and beautiful ocean but I was looking for more of a resort experience as it seemed to be advertised on the website than what we actually experienced. I feel like it was more just room and board with access to seaside.“
