Sorry you did not enjoy Chans. We have been told we have the best crabcakes around, as for the grouper sandwich, it is not meant to be fancy, but simple and uncomplicated. Hopefully you will try us for dinner next time in town. I have a new dinner menu that includes 12 tapas which have been well received. (the empanadas are a regulars favorite) Plus we have the best cheese trays anywhere in the area, paired with some pretty darn good wine ;-)
As for the service...I will speak to the front of the house manager about this.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to our area.
 
Allifunn - Thank you for the feedback! I need to be honest for credibility's sake in any event and I'm sorry the cafe had an off day. I PM'd you with the specifics underlying the review, and we will definitely try the Cafe again next year!

My blog disclaimer, which I should have included in my post, below, is that since professional reviewers visit a place multiple times, and we usually only get one "bite" per trip, to please take any negative reviews with a grain of salt.

I would expect the cheese tray to be awesome - we are still huge Chan's fans - it is our go-to for wine and cheese.

See you next year!

I would prefer to have just an all South Walton or Walton County listing. Or you could compare the restaurants in Walton County's SoWal, Miramar Beach, Sandestin (Segars is in Miramar Beach, btw, not Destin), etc. to those over in Destin, which is in Okaloosa County. There are many great restaurants along the Emerald Coast, but SoWal really shines from border to border. I see you are from out of state and may not realize that South Walton is not in Destin and never has been. You need to change the name of your blog to perhaps "Emerald Coast" if you want to include both South Walton and Destin restaurants. Or you could do a seperate blog for each. We are very proud of our South Walton venues and it is confusing to put our places in another county. It is important to get the menu right. Don't call snapper, grouper. Likewise, don't call a restaurant in South Walton, Destin. I do eat at some Destin restaurants. Chans is one of them and I would beg to differ with you on that, too. They are great.
