Probably not.

I've had decent luck at Marina Cafe. Depending on what you're looking for, Destin has some of the big names, ie. Ruth's Chris, Cuvee'. I rarely go for fine dining in Destin, not the place for it. IMO They have a big mall area in San Destin that has quite a few places there. May be a place to check out and find something you like.

Good luck ETA: whoops

How many people? Could always have a chef come to the house or condo and prep a meal.

Did this last year and it was awesome.

Serious question - is this place any good? Any of the 30A'ers tried this one yet? I saw a couple weeks ago that it had opened up in that spot next to cafe tango. Historically, that spot has had some pretty shitty places in it, but I had heard rumblings that this place may be decent. We are headed back down later this week. TIA

I bet that was awesome. My group would probably love that, but I would rather get out of this condo

Cuvee Bistro on the east side of town is very nice. Dewy Destin's in town gets good press for casual. La Lagnaippe has always been solid in years past.

For more high end options, the 30A area is good. Cafe Tango is excellent.

Dewy Destin's


Go to the Crab Island location, not the Destin Harbor location. You eat on a pier over the water, sipping brews and feasting on steamed Royal Red Shrimp and Crab Legs while watching the sun set over the bay. Lot's of boats passing by. There's even a fake pirate ship that cruises around there. Extremely cool place to eat. You can fine dine anywhere. Not many experiences like Dewey Destin Crab Island.

You're welcome.

We ate there earlier this summer. It was our third or fourth time there as we like to stay in Dune Allen when we can find rentals. The place is great, the menu has all sorts of stuff on it. It's on a wait for sure.

The owner/chef is a Louisiana native.
