Hey Guys-My family and I are going to be in the area July 9-16. We are very excited about it but one of my downfalls is that I am a major planner!!!!!! I guess it is the school teacher in me-haheha Anyway, I have always found a board to check things out in whatever area we are visiting-One of my favorites has always been about FOOD!!!! Where the best is-what restaurants are famous for what? Price ranges and so on..... Is there anyone else who frequents this board interested in this kind of information-I am new-maybe there is already something like that here and I don't know about it. Anyway-thanks for all the great information so far!!!

Hi Ecopal,

I'm sorry about your difficulty :( in obtaining the number, for The Old Florida Fish House and Bar. It is 850-534-3045, if you haven't, yet. As I've said, time and time again, it's a FANTASTIC place :clap_1: and I know you'll love it! Don't forget, ask for my son, Russ, he'll take GREAT crare of you! 😀


After calling the Walton county tourist center ( they had no clue) and searching the internet I resorted to calling Harbor Docks to get the Old Florida Fish House phone number:
534-3045.

The Old Florida Fish House is located on Eastern Lake on 30A and operate 5 to 10pm everyday except Sunday when they are open 5 to 9:30.
Reservations are not required.

While I have not been yet, I intend to visit Amore Pizzeria in Gulf Place. It has been on my list, and today, I met the owner, and now I have to go. She seems really cool, and I like supporting cool people. Good food would be a bonus.

Enjoyed reading all the favorites! We really wanted to try Smiling Fish and Basmatis...will have to save that for a few weeks from now.

We just got back to Birmingham from a quick trip to Santa Rosa Beach. This trip, we enjoyed Pandoras, thought Criollas was overrated and overpriced...portions just too small for the $$. My steak at Pandoras was better. Had lunch at Bud and Alley's today and it was great! Cafe Spiazza is always good.

Welcome kelkins! Thanks for your reviews. Our experience is to always make a reservation at Basmatis...great food and cozy ambience.

Amore is so great! Unique pizza, good wine list and staff. They also offer buckets of PBR, which I haven't seen on 30-A since the old Indigo wine bar in Blue Mountain Beach. We celebrated my birthday at Amore last month, and everything was perfect. The owners are very good people!!!

The Lake Place is one of my favorites, too.

I think they're open seven days a week right now. But in the past, they have closed Sundays and maybe Mondays during the winter. Not sure about this year, though.

just got back from a weekend in sowal. had a wonderful dinner at The Lake Place. Had not been there since the new ownership took over a few years ago. it was every bit as good as the old ownership. The owner came out and introduced himself to us and was very friendly. just as good as before if not better. It is once again my favorite restaurant down there. I little pricey but a very quaint and romantic setting.

Not a Goatfeathers fan here. It is cheap though. For lunch try going to the Summer Kitchen in Seacrest Beach. Shades in Seaside may be a good option. D&K's in Grayton is pretty good. I have not had lunch or dinner at the Seacrest Grill yet but breakfast was good.

:puke: :puke: :puke:
I heard they had people work there for like 30 min. at a time. Said something like they saw the kitchen and couldn't handle it. Something about a cook with his hand in the Ranch. :idontno:
