    Just returned to the cold Northeast after 2 weeks in Destin

    And I want to thank all of the local folks who helped us to have a marvelous time!

    We had a rather long "short list" of places we wanted to hit, and we got to most of them:

    Nick's Seafood on Highway 20
    Café Tango
    Fabrice
    Gravel Road
    D&K’s Beach Cafe and Oyster Bar
    Stinky’s Fish Camp
    BORAGO
    Blue Orleans
    Camille's at Crystal Beach
    Destin Taqueria n/k/a La Mexicana Market & Taqueria
    Dewey Destin's
    Harbor Docks
    Silver Sands Breakfast
    Beachwalk Café
    Royal B Destin
    Cafe Tango
    Fire
    Hurricane Oyster Bar
    Locanda Ristorante

    As per usual, we photographed just about everything we ate. Photos and comments can be found on my blog, here: http://funplayingwithfood.blogspot.c...n-florida.html

    We are sad to leave, but look forward to our next visit to the Emerald Coast!

    WOW! Great photos!! Where exactly is Hwy. 20 and Nicks? I thought Nicks was burned in a fire (Blue Mountion Beach Area?).....

    It seems to be getting great reviews; hope to find it when we return ther in a few weeks......

    I am so overwhelmed by the details, the pictures, the variety, the enormity of it all- I think I will have to read it all again tomorrow.

    Hwy 20 is the road that starts in Niceville and goes eastward along the north shore of Choctawhatchee Bay. Nick's is on the bay about 3/4 of the way between Niceville and Freeport.

    Did you stay in Destin or South Walton? Destin is a city in Okaloosa County. Some folks over the past few years have used that as their address by mistake and has perhaps caused some confusion. Hope you'll come back and stay in South Walton, if you haven't. Certainly seems like you've visited most of the eating establishments.

    We stay in Destin, but we visit South Walton and Fort Walton Beach restaurants while we are there.
