By far my favorite restaurant in the area! It’s hard to recommend a dish because they are all so good! Small bar in the back is very nice to have a cocktail or two before sitting down for dinner!

Best restaurant on the harbor in Destin! Everything is great here! They don’t take reservations so get there early! There is a bar behind the restaurant that has an area for outdoor games to play while you wait for your table.

Driving by car is the best way around.

Saturdays will always be busy to get to Destin so plan accordingly! Driving through Valparaiso and Niceville is a breeze but beware of the speed limits! They are heavily enforced!
