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!!!

If you go to www.restaurant.com you can find good discount certificates for restaurants. We've eaten at Lake Place and used one. After signing up on the website you will receive notices about even greater discounts.

Mare, I went to the site and find 18 restaurants listed within 15 miles of Santa Rosa Beach's zip (32459). I believe Ciao Bella and Blue Budda were the only two listed in the 30-A area. Please elaborate on the location for the discount on places like Lake Place, and please tell me more about where to enter the promotional code 51366.
Thank. I do love a good discount, esp 50% off.😀

I just found The Lake Place when I reduced the search area to 5 mile radius from 32459, but still wonder about the promo code.
edit: I clicked on the buy button to see if you can print it or if the coupon has to be shipped and I found the entry for the promo code giving you the $25 coupon for $5 rather than $10. Not bad for a dinner for two, getting you $20 off the food, but I cannot recall ever remembering to bring a coupon with me anywhere.

the coupon is good for one year after date of purchase and you are allowed to use one a month for each restaurant. We have really enjoyed trying new restaurants using the certificates.

A couple years back, a charity group in FWB got us to buy one of those coupon books, and we did end up using a pretty good number of the coupons. Nice to be able to try a new place, and feel like 'if I don't like it, at least I won't end up feeling like I totally wasted my money'

Please. You worked there. You know the dirty little secrets! :shock:
Jessifunn, I "did my time" at Goatfeather's, too. If possible, I think it was weirder 12 years ago! When did you work there?

kimmi and i worked there about 4 years ago. we met some hot guys from ole miss that worked there and they told us they made hundreds of dollars a night . so we went there and they hired us instantly (which should have given us a clue seeing as neither one of us ever worked in a restaurant before). we were there about 20mins called it a day then went to poets. i am sure to this day it was one of the best decisions i have ever made.

I don't know...it provided some pretty good material. I still have several friends from my 18 year old summer stint there, and we have some hilarious (and scary) stories. But you're right - good decision.

Oh yeah. We were determined to make the big bucks that summer. I remember walking off with my "tranier" and just knowing this wasn't going to work. I met J-Funn in the bathroom and we changed shirts and told them that "It's just not for us". Maybe we like to be served as opposed to serve. Either way...something in that kitchen rubbed me the wrong way...
We saw those guys that trained us out at Bud's every night after that. It was a little embarassing...but what do you do? :idontno:
We lasted 27 minutes. I resumed my employment at Mars and Venus for the remainder of the summer!

after we changed our shirts (the real nice ones with the picture of a goat and floating feathers all over and oh yeah and they only came in XXL) k-funn pushed me up the stairs in front of everyone who worked there. then kim broke the shelf in the closet that had all the employees personal stuff keys, phones, and so on. everyone stuff was lost at the bottom of the closet but somehow we found our keys and got out.
