they almost always have them. they are IQF, so they are in the back freezer.

Not the case with my experience there.

We tried Voyagers inside the Perdido Beach resort last week, and it was excellent. White table cloth, steaks and seafood, great view, and they take reservations. I had the wagyu hanging tender topped with crab and it was hands down the best steak I’ve had in a long time. It’s in a league with Fishers upstairs and Big Fish, and might surpass them in my opinion. It’s pricey, but worth it for the right occasion.

Love picking up Lartigue’s for a meal at the condo.Cash only if it hasn’t been mentioned, although they have an ATM inside.

We went to the Gulf for the first time and I was impressed. Kind of a funky set up with the two different menus and a separate bar area but the food and views made up for it.

We also love Fishers downstairs for a casual lunch spot. This time, I got the pimento cheese burger and black eyed pea salad as a side.

I think we went to Cobalt for the final time this trip. It’s a great piece of property, but the food and staff are so uninspiring. Our waitress disappeared after taking our order, so we went to the bar to order more beers, the bartender said she would send them to our table, and gosh that waitress didn’t like that! Came back and put the beers on the table in silence and didn’t take an empty bottles. ?? it was a 1 o’clock lunch on a Friday too....not crowded at all.

Re-upping this thread since I talked Fisher's Upstairs up earlier in this thread. We ate there earlier this week, and it was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a while. The whole table was pretty underwhelmed with everything the table ordered. Hard to call it an off night when every app and entree was just kinda okay. Not sure we'll be back.


We almost went to Playa instead, and all wished we had as we were leaving.

In OB right now. Just read entire thread.

Looks like Jesse's is the place to go?

Fisherman’s Corner is good too.

The Gulf is a good lunch spot... grouper sandwich

That menu, oh my. Might be able to swing a visit.

Tin Top looks delicious, but so much is market price, that's what you get for the very freshest ingredients. Tough to plan for, though.

That whiskey ribeye at Jesse's is my favorite steak, anywhere.
