Pandora's Last Waltz Oct 30, 2016

Latin style dinning coming to old burnt Borago on 30A..some of older places are getting tired and worn but owners look the other way....$$$$

Here's the scoop:
AJ's is coming to Grayton

A lot of us will miss the outside bar.

AJ's owner Alan Laird, who also owns Pandora's restaurant in Grayton Beach, decided that restaurant needed a facelift. Pandora's will close at the end of the month for an inside and outside remodel. When the restaurant reopens next year, the business will reopen as AJ's at Grayton Beach.

"Pandora's is a little outdated and it is time for a change," said Brandon Montalto, the manager at Pandora's who will continue to run AJ's on 30A.

Laird said he was on 30A before it was cool and originally opened a restaurant at the Pandora location in 1991 after opening his Destin location in 1984.

"There was nothing out here but yuppies back then," he said. "No kids then, but things have changed, and now that I'm older I see their side. Twenty-five years later, there are kids everywhere. I've never seen so many bikes in my life."

...

Plans are to reopen Jan. 5 for dinner.
