"Heard they had quite a premium spirit offering from a liquor store employee and I came and got a delicious pour of Glenlivet 21 for a great price before deciding to purchase a bottle. Unique ambiance, locals-oriented, outgoing staff and the food looked delicious even though I didn’t order anything!"

"We had a great dinner. Olga was our server, and she was very attentive and did not rush us. We started with the crab beignets, which were quite tasty. Then we had the shrimp and grits. This was mediocre, in my opinion. There was no real flavor to the dish, and the shrimp were not seasoned well. The dish did have mushrooms, which added some flavor, but I wouldn't order this again. Next, we split the Brussel sprouts Caesar salad. This was probably the best thing we had here. They were cooked perfectly, and the pairing was amazing. Entrées we had the scallop dish and the filet mignon. Both of these were good but nothing extraordinary. The Carolina rice with the scallops was prepared very well, and the potatoes and onions with steak were very good as well. Peach cheesecake to finish it off was delicious and not overwhelming. The first order of bread that came out was so hard and disappointing that we sent it back. The server Olga sent out new bread, and it was 10 times better and fresh. This was a $300 plus dinner, so be prepared, but it was worth it."

"We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Our server was super nice and professional (sorry, I forgot her name, the lady who had a classy slicked back updo). The watermelon mocktail she recommended was impressive. Food tasted great and the portions were also generous. The appetizer bread and duck confit were just out of this world. And don’t miss the desserts. We were stuffed after finishing so much food but still tried creme brûlée. You can never go wrong with French desserts. This is absolutely a highlight of our vacation in Destin. Try it you will thank me later."

"We ate dinner here the other night, and were not disappointed. All of our seafood dishes were fresh and nicely presented. We started with the crab beignets and lobster spring roll, followed by the scallops and ahi tuna. Each dish was priced very well for the quality and presentation, especially given how expensive many restaurants in the area tend to be. The cocktails and wine were decent, but be warned- each cocktail on their martini menu is prepared shaken (including the Italian Manhattan). Not sure why, but be certain to request a stirred drink if that’s your preference and expectation."

"I came here while on vacation to Destin. It was supposed to be one of the best places to eat around here. I purchased a few drinks--they didn't taste very good. I got the steak and it was dry on the inside. The sear on the outside was more of a burned crust instead of a proper sear--wouldnt recommend. I also ordered the Ahi Tuna, that was decent but it looked weird (not the expected pink from Tuna but more of a brown). I would probably prefer outbacks tuna app(which isn't saying a lot). My wife got the rack of lamb, which came out good but the actual lamb chops were incredibly small. The waitress was very nice and did a good job. We ate outside and it a nice experience on that part. We also ordered the market vegetables, which were the best part of the meal. Overall, I wouldn't go back but it was worth trying."
