Ovide

"My husband and I spent a few nights at the Hotel Effie Sandestin and we had a wonderful experience every time we ate at Ovide. The menu presented a variety of delicious dishes able to satisfy all people, from vegans to celiacs. During the weekend, there is a special brunch menu and special dishes are daily available. The chef even customized vegetarian-friendly meals for me all nights and he personally came out to check on me and greet us. The ingredients used to make each dish are of excellent quality, as well as the wines, and the presentation of each plate was outstanding! The staff was amazing: David, Pablo, and Kelly surrounded us with their kindness, attention and professionalism. We were spoiled by all the personnel that were able to satisfy all our requests! Looking forward to eating at Ovide again!! Highly recommended!"

"Last night was an absolute delight at Ovide! From the warm greeting to the swift delivery of my Moscow mule, the service was truly top-notch. The Heirloom Tomato & Burrata salad not only boasted fantastic flavors but also wowed with its impeccable presentation on the plate. PinWheel Lasagna was a pleasant surprise, and it certainly won't be my last encounter with this delightful dish. The Italian sausage bolognese and pasta showcased some of the best flavors and dish I've experienced in the area. To top it all off, the Vanilla Creme Brulee with fruits and a mango gel was the perfect sweet ending, complemented by an equally impressive presentation. After this delightful dinner, we made our way to the lobby bar at the Effie for a nightcap, where live music and a friendly crowd added to the overall wonderful experience. For those in the Sandestin Resort area, I highly recommend making a reservation at Ovide. It's an experience worth savoring, and don't forget to catch a breathtaking rooftop sunset before your dinner at the top of the Effie Hotel. Cheers to memorable evenings and exquisite dining!"

"5 stars for the new chef at Ovide! My entire meal was so delicious! I should have taken pictures of the beautiful tomato salad and scrumptious Catch of the Day with a hint of curry. I ate every bite! The atmosphere was amazing, the plating of each dish was so beautiful, the taste was incredible and the servers were outstanding. What an experience!"

"I have to say, from the entrance, it was incredible. The kindness of the staff and their attention were wonderful. The table and ambiance felt very comfortable. Our server was spot-on with recommendations for both drinks and dishes. We ordered an Old Fashioned and a special Margarita that truly enchanted us. The best fried rice I've ever had, and I say that as a rice fan. We went for the night's specialty – the rack of lamb and the NY strip – both delicious. To top it off, we ordered the wonderful cheesecake and mango crème brûlée for dessert. The chef came out to greet us, very kind in sharing some of his time with us. I highly recommend our server his name Pablo, if you want great dish recommendations and a fantastic experience. I felt warmly welcomed by the Ovide team. Would we return? Would I recommend them? Yes to both!"

"Ovide provided an elegant yet accessible experience as it was inside of Hotel Effie. The bar was comfortable and the service professional. Drinks are a touch pricey though the food seemed worth the price point. Half chicken was fried and seasoned perfectly and the corn casserole could be an appetizer all on its own!"
