what are your favorite places at this time, I'm looking for recommendations!

I've been to SoWal lots of times and a few of my favorites are: Stinky's, Red Bar, Seagrove Market cafe, Bayou Bills, Nicks and Christianos-my new favorite actually! I'm planning to try Marie's Bistro, Borago and Basmatis this trip and maybe Louie Louie, any other places for lunch/dinner that I should check out. I'll be there for a week with a large group and then flying solo for another 5-6 days.

I've been to Pizza Bar, Flip Flops, House of Klaus, Taco Bar, Seagrove Coyote, Shades, Cocoons, the little store/lunch spot in Rosemary, Enzo's, Angelina's and probably other spots that I can't remember now!

How would Hurricane Oyster Bar be for a group?

I just made myself drool typing up all of those tasty spots!!!

I always forget about Smiling Fish and have been meaning to go. We went to Shortys when they first opened it I was still in D&K withdraws and probably didn't give it a fair shake, I'll try it again this year! They have a great location for sure and we've enjoyed drinks there since but haven't dined with them.

Old Florida Fish House is my favorite. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, a lounge with a band. Best Sushi around. Does it get any better?

Our new tradition is to go to Old Florida Fish House on our first night in sowal. SGG is absolutely correct and I love their grits.

How's the non sushi from Old Florida? We're staying beachside across the street from it so very handy!

If you do an outlet mall day, Vintij is fun but somewhat easy to miss in the strip mall across the street that also has a Burger King in it. I also like Sushimoto in another strip mall where Melting Pot is.

Vintij is excellent,
George's in Alys Beach is my favorite lunch spot.

Edward's is open for a great lunch Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11-3 and brunch on Sunday. Dinner 5-11 every night. Very casual.
No reservations, come as you are.
