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!!!

If we spelled it correctly, no one would know who we were talking about. (I never knew he spelled it like that. I will try to remember.):D

I am not forgetting it. ;-) I think I have mentioned it on some other recent threads, and Amore is on people's list for their next visit to town.:D

Amore is getting some play here but it's relatively new and not many people know about it yet.

Tonight, I ate at the Old Florida Fishhouse, and the sushi was good. Russ, Diane's son, served us and took great care of us. He was suprised to know that his Mom recommended him, and said to tell her thanks. Russ is just as she describes. I must admit, I thought that Diane was inflating her son's image, but she was dead on. Ask for Russ, he will take good care of you. ;-)

I cannot say that I sampled enough of their food to write a full review, but I will be back to fill in the gaps.:D

Lake Place is, by far, my favorite "nice" restaurant. I have celebrated my past two birthdays there...

Elmo's is fun for kids. They have dance contests, do the limbo and chicken dance and every kid gets a prize, a small frozen strawberry smoothie. The fried grouper is excellent, so are the crab leg dinners.

Thanks for the Elmos recommendation. We plan to go there in late February with kids. Do they do these games during lunch and dinner? What's the best time for us to go with an 11 and 13 year old (actually, the 13 year old will be 14 years old that week). Are the games mostly for younger children or would an 11 and 13 year old enjoy them? Thanks again.

We've only been there during dinner time. I've seen young teens, 14 or so join in. We had five year old twin grandchildren with us and they always ask to go to Elmo's.

Restaurants?

I'm still very new to this message board but I'm loving reading all your postings and getting to know you all! My husband and I LOVE eating out and often travel down to S. Walton to find new places. Thanks for all the great suggestions!

I know this is a S. Walton board, but I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for Destin? Do any of you travel over this way to eat out?

Thanks - and happy eating!

P.S. If you've all already have this conversation - point me in the right direction, I might have just missed it! :D

I had dinner at Louisianna Lagniappe last fall & highly recommend it.

We went into Destin last month and ate at a restaurnant recommended by someone on the board--Graffiti. A fun Italian restaurant, I had a great meal there!

I read in the paper that the owners of Graffiti and Funky Blues Shack are also the owners of Cafe Tango. Don't know if that is true, but it also said they were going to open a 2nd Graffitis in Baytowne.

Re: Restaurants?

Welcome to the board, TT!

Have you heard of The old Florida Fish House and Bar, in SOWAL? It's located at 30A on Eastern Lake and is great! :clap_1: Alot of people know that my son, Russ, is one of their servers. I believe that anyone there would attest, that he's one of their best! :D Hmm...sounds like I'm proud, doesn't it! If any of you see him soon, wish him a Happy Birthday! :clap_1: It's this Thursday, sure wish I could be with him. :wub: I'm still in North AL, till late Spring. :(

Peapod, are you sure you ate at Graffiti or was it Gratzi's?

I'm certainly not SJ or Kurt, but I did read in the Sandestin paper, I believe it was, that Graffiti and Funky Blues Shack are definitely opening a location at Baytowne Wharf. Sometime this year I think.
