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!!!

Don't forget, ask for my son, Russ, he'll take GREAT crare of you! After calling the Walton county tourist center ( they had no clue) and searching the internet I resorted to calling Harbor Docks to get the Old Florida Fish House phone number:
534-3045.
The Old Florida Fish House is located on Eastern Lake on 30A and operate 5 to 10pm everyday except Sunday when they are open 5 to 9:30.
Reservations are not required.

While I have not been yet, I intend to visit Amore Pizzeria in Gulf Place. It has been on my list, and today, I met the owner, and now I have to go. She seems really cool, and I like supporting cool people. Good food would be a bonus.

Enjoyed reading all the favorites! We really wanted to try Smiling Fish and Basmatis...will have to save that for a few weeks from now.
We just got back to Birmingham from a quick trip to Santa Rosa Beach. This trip, we enjoyed Pandoras, thought Criollas was overrated and overpriced...portions just too small for the $$. My steak at Pandoras was better. Had lunch at Bud and Alley's today and it was great! Cafe Spiazza is always good.

She seems really cool, and I like supporting cool people. Good food would be a bonus.Amore is so great! Unique pizza, good wine list and staff. They also offer buckets of PBR, which I haven't seen on 30-A since the old Indigo wine bar in Blue Mountain Beach. We celebrated my birthday at Amore last month, and everything was perfect. The owners are very good people!!!
The Lake Place is one of my favorites, too.

What nights is The Lake Place open? We've never been.

I think they're open seven days a week right now. But in the past, they have closed Sundays and maybe Mondays during the winter. Not sure about this year, though.

just got back from a weekend in sowal. had a wonderful dinner at The Lake Place. Had not been there since the new ownership took over a few years ago. it was every bit as good as the old ownership. The owner came out and introduced himself to us and was very friendly. just as good as before if not better. It is once again my favorite restaurant down there. I little pricey but a very quaint and romantic setting.

Not a Goatfeathers fan here. It is cheap though. For lunch try going to the Summer Kitchen in Seacrest Beach. Shades in Seaside may be a good option. D&K's in Grayton is pretty good. I have not had lunch or dinner at the Seacrest Grill yet but breakfast was good.

i would recommend no goatfeathers i know a couple people that work there for how long? 18........20 minutes

I heard they had people work there for like 30 min. at a time. Said something like they saw the kitchen and couldn't handle it. Something about a cook with his hand in the Ranch.

RO ? for you. When we were here in Sept. we met a guy over in the Seacrest Village. He had the bike rental kiosk over there. He stopped me and my husband and told us we should go and have lunch at your lagoon grill and bar at High Pointe. I mentioned that I thought it was owners and guests only, he said no anyone could eat there. We have thought about trying it out but haven't so far. Is it for owners and guest of High Pointe only?

I'd say if your money is green they will gladly take it
It is open to the public. Great view (which is good cause the food is only ok). I'm not sure if they are open right now but I'm sure they will be for the big owners meeting Oct 15th weekend.SoWal Insider

Thanks for the info. There's just not many places around within walking distance to eat/drink lunch and have a gulf view. We may try it sometime.

lunch- there are number of good ones village market (although its not as good as it once was), summer kitchen, red bar (again), or if your on the run to the beach modica. there really are too many to mention.

I have to agree with you here.
331/Red Bar (even though I prefer the Red Bar just bc of tradition) favorite any day
Love Smiling Fish- Mexican Salad...and I loooove George
Lunch- Village Market grilled chicken sandwich. And sweet tea. Extra honey mustard. Modia- Little baby chickens and water with the modica's picture on it.
Brunos. Fav hungover. Especially when you saw Victor out that night and he tells you EVERY DETAIL of what happened. He's long winded..but when your money is no good there...it's the best.
And not to forget the Waldorf Chicken Salad at Water Color.
