“We had a 6pm reservation and were greeted happily by the hostess and were sat at our table promptly. The atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered one drink, something with pear, that was so refreshing and delicious. My husband’s NY Strip was cooked to perfection, and my stuffed chicken dish was excellent. The BRUSSELS!!! Very good. Our service was phenomenal, and the attention of the staff (never once did we need a water refill, never once was there a dirty dish on our table) was superb. Highly recommended for an elevated dining experience!“

“An absolute standout in Rosemary Beach. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm and attentive without ever being intrusive. But the real stars were the food and drinks.
The filet was cooked to perfection—a beautiful sear on the outside, tender and buttery all the way through, and seasoned exactly right. It's the kind of steak that reminds you what a great filet is supposed to taste like. Easily one of the best cuts I've had on 30A.
The cocktails were equally impressive. Expertly balanced, beautifully presented, and clearly made by people who take their craft seriously. Whether you're starting the evening with something crisp and refreshing or winding down with something a little more spirit-forward, they nail it.
The whole experience—ambiance, service, food, and drinks—came together for a memorable night. If you're in Rosemary Beach and looking for a special dinner, Restaurant Paradis is well worth it.“

“My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Edward’s in Rosemary Beach. They’re typically only open for dinner, but we were fortunate to experience one of their special daytime brunches—and it was a standout from start to finish! Jimmy, the GM, welcomed us and had us seated quickly on their covered patio, which was perfect even with the steady rain. The chef created a beautiful brunch menu for the occasion, and our server, Kiyonta, was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with Deviled Eggs, the Seasonal Fruit Plate, and the Caesar Salad—each dish fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented. For our entrées, we chose the Shrimp and Grits (incredible!), the Lox and Avocado, and Edward’s Omelet. Every bite was delicious, and the plating was as impressive as the flavors. We ended our meal with a trio of desserts: the housemade ice cream sandwich, crème brûlée, and key lime pie. Each one was delightful, but the ice cream sandwich may have stolen the show. Huge thanks to the Edward’s team for making our rainy Mother’s Day feel special and memorable. If you’re in Rosemary Beach, Edward’s MUST be on your list!“
