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!!!

Just got back from SoWal yesterday. Great Southern not only had very good food, but the service was out of this world. Got Jim's cookbook, he came over to our table to sign it and talk with us.

cafe tango is always fabulous.......... call kristen at least a week in advance to make reservations.. 8502670054. fairly expensive but well worth it. fabulous wine list. the closest thing to lake place since it burned down........ be sure to watch out for D&k's cafe reopening soon as fine dining.......... as a former dishwasher,cook, and busser for this chef I highly recommend it. ( grayton beach,fl)

also, for those willing to take the scenic route, bogey's in defuniak, fl. the lake yard district is beautiful. Be sure to check out the library(repopening the 29th after remodeling) as well as the bookstore and daves music. plus you can hear the train while you dine... unbelievable. health food store up there as well. of course, for the health of it in blue mountian is always the best!!!! the owners, ed & rachel are great people full of knowledge.

We will be making our yearly trek to Destin the week of Sept. 9th. Was wondering what you guys thought of the following:

Smiling Fish - We love 30A, this thread mentions it's cheaper and the food is just as good. Any other folks have similar opinions?

Fish out of Water
Cafe Tango
Blue by Night

We always try to add a new restaurant each trip and would like to add the best of the above. We don't get much fresh seafood here in Elvis town so we load up on it when we are in Destin.

Help us decide!
Thanks in advance!

You can't go wrong with any of them! Fish Out of Water is bigger and fancier than the other 3. It has gulf views also.

I had dinner at the Terrace last nite after reading about it on the message board. It is now my new favorite restaurant down here !! EXcellent cuisine, friendly and professional service very intimate and pleasing ambience, wonderful presentation with ample portions, and best of all very reasonably priced. My only criticism would be the choice of background dinner music. I think classical music as opposed to 50's and 60's "rock" would be more appropriate.

Of course, I haven't read all of these posts, so forgive me if this has already been said.

I recommend trying the Old Florida Fish House. I work there, so I'm biased, but I honestly think we have the best sushi on 30-A!

Try the $20 dinner special at Caf? Thirty-A. It includes salad, main course, and dessert. My husband had it last night and said it was really good. Good deal considering that the cheapest entr?e (other than pizza) is $26.

I tried it and wasn't impressed........
The meal was served with white rice, white cold bread and wasn't tasteful at all.
Has anyone else out there given it a go?
