Santa Rosa Beach Florida Reviews

We got out of town post Mardi Gras over to Santa Rosa Beach. We normally stay in Mirimar during the summer, so it was fun to hit up some new places. On our first night we went to Perfect Pig. I grabbed Caesar salad with bacon and grilled shrimp. I was hungry and it hit the spot.

The next night we headed down 30A to Shunk Gulley Oster Bar. They had heated outdoor seating which was really nice considering it was 50 degrees and pretty windy. We had their Meyer lemon garlic grilled oyster which were great and some fried oysters that were on point. My pics here were all blurry. On Thursday we hit Goatfeathers. Interesting place. Food was ok, this place just seems to be culinarily stuck in
the 80’s. I got the smoked tuna dip which had no smoke flavor and a shrimp and oyster plate that was just ok. The Gouda grits that came on the side were the highlight of the meal.

Friday night we went to Local Catch. It was great. So good in fact that I didn’t get any pics. Started with their WhoDat shrimp. Gimmicky name, but reminded me of Shrimp Henican at Commanders. For my entree, I stuck with the shrimp theme and got shrimp and grits. The sauce was a butter and Worcestershire base and was on point. This may have been our best meal. Our final night we ate at The Bay. I started with a sushi roll that was simple and fresh.

My entree was grilled shrimp in a creamy cremini mushroom, pancetta and prosciutto sauce serve over polenta cakes. It was nicely done.

On our way out we hit the Perfect Pig for breakfast. Pulled pork Benedict with Chipotle Hollandaise sufficed for breakfast and lunch.

Nice way to unwind from a crazy Mardi Gras.
