Take the road to Grayton Beach all the way to the end. Can't miss it.

Thanks! We'll have to make that a must-stop this year.
Is it actually a bar, or a restaurant/bar? Just asking, because we're bringing a 1-yr-old.. don't know if she'll be allowed in there?

My two-year old has been a regular at the Red Bar (and the 331 and the SeaBar) since he was 6 months old. He loves the decor!

Sea Bar is on 331. Right across from the 331. Check the hours. They are a little different from 331 and Red Bar. Sunday afternoons are really fun!:clap_1:

The 331 and the SeaBar are across the street from each other at the south end of the 331 bridge.

Hmmmm. I think I'd have to vote for the crab cakes. (Friday and Sat. only)! But it's all good. Haven't ever had a bad meal. Be sure and save room for an apple dumpling, big enough to share, good enough to not want to!:wub::wub::wub:

Okay, you guys are killing me. I'm sitting here at my desk in my tiny cubicle in landlocked Kentucky.. blah! And I had a bag of cheetos for lunch.. DEFINITELY would prefer to be eating crab cakes and apple dumplings down there right now (even picking up hurricane debris would be preferable!)
Thanks for all the good info!

Definitely kid friendly - just get there early (5ish?) if your 1 year old can't handle a long wait. Rebecca even gave my kids a little tour of the kitchen; what a sweetheart! My 7 year old wanted to leave 'cause he couldn't get a hamburger, but she sweet talked him into noodles and ice cream! Go on Friday or Saturday - the most fabulous crab cakes you will ever eat in your life. Also the best cosmopolitans - shaken til there were these little tiny ice particles...I don't know how the bartender does it. I've tried and tried to to duplicate it at home with no success (guess I better head back down to Grayton 😀 )

Does anybody know of a good Mexican Restaurant? My favorite was Luna Del Mar but when I was down in May it looked like it had closed.

Luna Del Mar did close. You might try CoCo's Mexican Grill in Santa Rosa they are located at 3906 Highway 98 E., in Santa Rosa. Phone 850-267-1238.

If you find yourself in Destin proper, La Paz on Holiday Isle is very good- fresh ingredients, and I love their made to order black bean soup.

A couple of things to know:

1) As beachy said : Cash or Check only. No credit cards.

2) They stop serving lunch at 2PM . I always miss it by about 15 mins.

3) Long waits if you get there too late. 5PM when they reopen is great, especially on weekends. If you do have to wait you can walk across to the Zoo Gallery which is a great little shop to pick up cool, artsy souveniers.

You'll love it. Definitely has an Amsterdam feel.
