In the old fire station? I lived near there, and wondered who the frick ever ate there. I assumed they were going after that condo business.
yeah, just looked it up. i know the owner, forgot that she hi-tailed it after katrina .
looks like the chef is the guy that used to bartend there.

Yeah it is the same place. They did re-open after Katrina but couldn't make it with the Soleil apartments being closed for so long. Th current chef worked as a bartender for a little while out of necessity, but worked in the kitchen the majority of the time he was there. He's a chef by trade. Self taught, but very talented. The head chef left to open The Store in the CBD. Both are good friends of mine. I recommend Fire in Grayton. Head and shoulders better than when it was here.

I personally like the Sandestin area. The Courtyard by Marriot Sandestin is a pretty good value however it isn't on the beach.

. We're renting a place on the lake in Grayton.
We stay in old grayton every year. If you see Sheryl Crow (she owns the house between old and new) tell her hi for me. Yes, she is hot in person.

Most of the places I went in Destin were awful (Back Porch, AJ's etc)
Those are two of the worst in town, no question. Tourist traps.

We hit 30A a couple of times each summer and try to stay in different locations each time. We're eventually going to buy a place out there so we really want to see what fits our family the best. We've stayed in Seaside, Seagrove, and Dune Allen but we always visit a new place for lunch/dinner each time we go. We've been to Grayton every trip, but this time we're going to take it a whole lot slower. We have a solid week this time so we'll get a great feel for the vibe, which is real hard to do in a lunch visit.
We stayed in Seaside the first few visits, but we really like the non-master planned communities for some reason. Something about Watercolor and Rosemary...just too sterile for our taste. Looking at properties on 30A is a almost the best part of our trips. Turning down every road, seeing different peoples interpretation of beach living. We can't wait for the end of May to come this year.

If you end up at Bud & Alley's, skip the main restaurant and get pizza and beer next door. They have a great Saturday lunch special.
We LOVED Cafe Tango when we went in the fall.

Or tacos. I love the shrimp one they serve. We've successfully recreated them to much fan fare.
