Going to Destin later this year and was thinking about springing a surprise on the wife one night.

I have read old threads about normal restaurants to go to, but I was curious if anyone knew of any really nice/higher end places that I can look at.

Bijoux is good, little further down in Sandestin.

Ruth’s Chris, Mimmo’s has decent Italian.

There is a Flemings in Sandestin. A small drive but not too far.

Lagniappe is great, but I wouldn't call it super nice. Seagars is good, but they are VERY proud of their food. Mimmos is really good Italian, better than Tuscany Bistro IMHO. Ocean Club is great too. Galatoires' chef used to be at the Inn at Crystal Beach's restaurant, but he has since moved on, and the quality there has gone down. I think Tim Creehan still has Beach Walk Cafe in Henderson Beach, and I know he still has Cuvee out on 30A. Just my 2 cents.

Emeril's Coastal in Sandestin was very good when I went ~5 years ago, I would assume that is still the case.

Bijoux and Tuscany for upscale French or Italian
They are right next to each other.

Mimmo’s is more casual but very good.

Louis, Louis is fun.

The question is can you stop posting long enough to enjoy a nice dinner?

(copied from the other FL thread)

I think you and SFP don't understand how this works.

Your wife is going to tell you where all her friends and influencers eat, you don't really have a choice.
