Fine Dining Recommendations

[greenstreet]

We're coming into town for spring break with parents and grandparents who like to "eat well." We have the following places in mind: Fish Out of Water, Cafe 30-A, Basmatti's, Gravel Road and Criollas. What are we missing? No fried seafood joints (although we love them personally, especially Snapperheads), and not too far from 30-A.

Thanks for the help.

It's not fine dining, but try out Stinky's Fish Camp. For fine dining, try Criolla's, Borago, and Onano. All are great. Also, Destin Chops is opening this week.

I'de pass on Bargo, unless they have just done it, they have not changed their menu in two years.
The places that moved from NO are the most innovative, D&K, Fire.

Hi Greenstreet,

The following link is a wealth of information, RE: one of the best restaurants, in the area! http://www.restaurantfire.com It doesn't hurt that one of their pheonominal server's, happens to be my son! Russ is very "customer centered", like his mom!;-) From all that I've heard, you'll enjoy a wonderful experience! I haven't been back to the area, but, can't wait till I do! The following is a previous thread, where they rec'd rave reviews, as well! http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=16739&highlight=fire+restaurant Have a safe trip and enjoy!

Yes - I should have also recommended Fire, it is on a par with D&K and Cafe Tango.

Seering's Piano Cafe' at Redfish Village!! Small, quaint great selection of Wines and Liquors. Small menu but executed very well. Plus David Seering performs ususally Tues-Sat. Dinner only. He is the best pianist I have ever heard with a mighty voice. His Phantom of the Opera is not to be missed. Also great bar staff with Jimmy Engle, part time stand-up, and Bob 'at the Bar' Matthews. Definitely a must!!;-)
